A week ago we got off a 16 day Grand Circle River Cruise sailing from Amsterdam to Vienna on the Main, Rhine and Danube. The Danube was low and there was concern. However it rained, and rained in the right spots so the ship was able to get through. The captain said there was only 2.5 feet of water between the bottom of the boat and the river bed. Things can change quickly. My sister-in-law was on a Viking River Cruise a week before us...and they did not get through. Their ship sat in port for 4 days and the guests went by bus daily to the appointed cities. On day 4 they transferred to another ship and sailed for 3. Things change with the river continually and you will not know till you are there. Good luck. Hope the water levels are good for you at your appointed time to sail.

Wow....this is really helping me plan our trip. Thanks for taking the time and passing on all this advice. It help for people like me who have never been to Hawaii before. Appreicate it.

Just purchased my third "over the door" organizer". The first was not a clear one so took it back; the second was missing the hooks so took that back too. Now (I hope) the third is perfect. After reading the posts, it seem like it will be worth it and we will enjoy having the organizer.

Last year got $300 for our Mexico trip in $5, $2, and $1 bills. While it is a "wad" of money we always had exact change. People love the $2 bills as tips. We will do the same this cruise for tips. I also always bring along ear plugs. They are handy to block out those strange noises that keep you up and night.
