We went through the lock on our own so I didn't see Isla.

The Nova passed NB 212 earlier today - I wondered why it looked so odd. I'll watch for the Isla:) We are in a section with a lot of bends. coming up to a lock (Bad Abbach), maybe she'll catch up.

Just passed the infamous Tui Isla. She's docked outside of Regensburg. Saw 4 crew members sitting on deck and a small boat (work boat/barge) tied up next to it but no other activity.

I would like to say a big thank you to all for the postings on this board! I have been following it since before I left the U.S. on the 9th. Thanks to your info, I knew ahead of time there could be changes or cancellations. I had even looked for possible ships for a ship swap and discovered the Nova as a possibility.

She's going Passau to Trier now. We are sailing all day tomorrow to catch up. We were supposed to be in Nuremberg Sunday afternoon now it looks like we'll be there Monday morning. Hope the lock issue is resolved soon!

Yes, they are. This is Nova's 1st sailing!

I counted 15 ships at Engelharstzell. Good news for us. We returned from bus trip around 4pm and we were told we were swapping ships! They gave us about 45 minutes to pack everything. We are on bus to Passau. We will board Amadeus Nova. Nova is in Passau headed for Budapest. The Nova was to embark today is why we are doing the swap so quickly.

I boarded Amadeus Riva yesterday, the 14th. Supposed to board in passau, bused to ship in Engelharstzell. Itinerary is Passau to Trier. The locks at Engelharstzell are stuck. They were to be working on them today, 15th. On the 14th we were told there was a 50/50chance they would be fixed the 15th. On bus trip in Regensburg now. Cruise director said "they" were in a meeting and would let her know what is decided as soon as possible. I hope that means a ship swap if locks aren't working.
