European River Cruise???

Has anyone ever used Gate 1 for a European River Cruise?
They are the only ones that offer an itinerary that we are interested
in...Warsaw-Krakow land excursion combined with the MS Amadeus Royal
starting in Budapest and ending in Nuremberg and flying home from Prague.

TIA,

Hi Jean,

My dad and stepmother cruised on the MS Amadeus Amadagio last spring.
Sounds like they did the same itinerary as what you've described, in
the opposite direction. They did not do the land excursion portion of
your tour.

Bottom line is that they were not at all impressed with Amadeus. In
fact, they were very disappointed. They're not experienced cruisers
like you, with only one other cruise besides this one under their
belts. But, overall, they felt that Amadeus provided an inferior
product. I think, in general, folks tend to regard Viking and Uniworld
as the "best" of the European river cruise companies, and had they
asked me my opinion, during their planning of the trip, I might have
been able to steer them in that direction. But, they were wowed by the
brochure and website, both very impressive and luxe in appearance.

Now, theirs is only one opinion, of course. I'd definitely look to see
if you can find any other reviews of Amadeus on line. Good luck!
