Just returned from Rhine Christmas trip and from start to finish was very stressful. Firstly taxi didn't arrive on time so we missed our connection in Barnsley so the taxi had to take us to Chesterfield. Then onto the horrendous stop 24 our first time and last. We were stuck there for nearly 2 hours no where to sit as it was packed and our age group ranged between 76 and 84 so not much fun. We finally boarded the ship and cruised to Rudemshime and had to stay there the rest of the holiday as the Rhine was blocked by a tanker no fault of our cruise. Food was not the best we had goulash one night the meat was very nice but the potatoes under it was grey hard with black eyes. I could go on and on as nothing went well really glad to be home I'm not a chef but I could put better food on the table.and desserts every night but one was custard cream and fruit we might be older but we do have our own teeth. We paid just short of 2 thousand pound for 5 days 4 nights for my husbands 80th what a let down . We will stick to Croisi Europe food really good and service very good.
