Not as good as previous river cruises
Three star rating as overall it was ok but no better than that. Cabin was noisy at night due to being sited under the air con main units and ear plugs were necessary. This is despite it being supposedly only second to the two 'owners suites' and was worse than cheaper alternatives. Food was ok but not up to previous trips with APT. Daily excursions were in much larger groups than on previous cruises and in some cases the time was poorly used. EG. in Salamanca (2 hours in a bus) then hang around for another hour waiting for a local guide to whizz us round in a group of 30+. The promised tour of Porto turned out to be just a coach ride round the city without actually stopping at any attractions. Without wishing to sound too 'sniffy' about this it all felt a bit downmarket bearing in mind the price paid. My advice to future travellers is don't pay the extra money for cabin 324 and book your own guides for Salamanca and Porto.
