MARY !!! you truly went beyond my expectation of a river cruise review. I cannot thank you enough for the details and fantastic photos. My travel group is entertaining this exact cruise/tour for October 2014. We received little info initially, so upon researching Cruise Critic, I was thrilled to find your review. Thank you - fellow cruiser ! Joanne M.

Yes, I will preface this with "if sounds to good . . .", of which I am fully aware.

The other day we received the infamous post card that others have mentioned on this site. Although the dates of previous posts are for 2011, it appears this is still happening. Because it has the Royal Caribbean logo and colors, I decided to call for further info. Yes, we are to attend a presentation and are responsible for fees, taxes (which is stated on the post card). I asked to bring a friend and was told there was not room. This sounded strange that the presentation could accommodate only 4 couples.

After reading the many posts, it's obvious I'm in for a "time share" clobbering. I'm wondering if we are still eligible for this "free" (ahem) cruise upon declining the purchase of a time share.

I will post the results of our experience.
