The markets were great but very crowded and there was no real opportunity to see the markets after dark to enjoy all the lights and decorations. The crew on board were very attentive and friendly. The crew was probably the best part of the cruise. I had traveled with Tauck 3 times prior to this trip and I must say the first 3 were great. This one?
Most Memorable Moment:
Arriving in Cologne and having to arrange my own transport to the boat. Then having to take a city bus to the train station because my flights were canceled from Basel and having to overnight in Chicago then paying to have my bag check for the last leg of my trip back to Florida. I forgot sitting 3 hours on the tarmac in Zurich.
The shore activities, a typical German meal, a visit to a casino with snacks and children’s concert, a Christmas cookie making demonstration, etc., were special. The only downside was the dinner service. The food was good, but we never knew who would come to our table to do what and they seemed in a hurry to swipe our plates away.
