Our first river cruise, "Delightful Danube", selected to accommodate an itinerary including other nearby sites and tours. We agonized over a number of offerings from other lines and feel we made a spectacular choice. While a little more expensive than competitors, due to the 'all inclusive' Uniworld policy, the value was well worth the expense. From the moment we arrived (an easy embarkation process, with bags previously delivered to our suite) our 'butler' knew our names and requested any special needs. Each day, following housekeeping tasks, the daily announcements of weather, activities and US news highlights were left along with some 'treats'. Staff members at the lounge quickly learned everyone's particular favorites, delivered in a professional and very pleasant and personal manner. Our cabin was generous, clean and comfortable. Each night a delightful new menu and a detailed explanation by the sommelier of the selected wine parings. Breakfast and luncheon buffets were imaginative and delicious. Entertainment was enjoyable, jazz singer with piano accompaniment, a classical solo piano playing regional standards and other events. For the money, the professional and personal attention, elegance of the ship and the interesting itinerary, created a formidable experience from a cruise line with which will be sure to rebook.
