Additional details
We left Budapest on October 5th and after a relaxing day of cruising, we arrived in Vienna around dinner time on the 6th. We were very fortunate to be able to navigate this stretch of the river; I believe that some cruisers had to be bussed to Vienna the next week. We enjoyed a day and a half in Vienna and when we boarded the Expression around 8:00pm on the second night, we found a letter outlining modifications to our itinerary that were being made due to low water concerns.
In a nutshell, the changes (for the majority of passengers continuing on to Prague) were
1). Linz, Austria was substituted for Nuremberg
Cabin Review
Panorama Suite with French Balcony
While compact, the cabin's design gave us plenty of storage, a small sitting area, and beautiful views from our "window wall"
Bathroom was very well designed with generous shower stall, excellent toiletries and storage for personal items
