Los_Pepes Posted March 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi All, We are heading over to Budapest on 4/6 to hop aboard the River Beatrice. Does anyone know if we are supposed to pre-book our excursions with or do we do it once on board? Any other tips are appreciated as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrheadlass Posted March 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I haven't been on Beatrice but have sailed on 2 other Uniworld ships (and lovely they are!). You book your excursions while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttilaTheFun Posted March 24, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I did a near full review of the ship and trip with lots of pictures, although never finished the Budapest stop. The link is in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrheadlass Posted March 24, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks Barr! We are really looking forward to the trip. Meant to say I hope you have a wonderful time, and I'm sure you will! Uniworld does a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Pepes Posted March 24, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 24, 2014 AttilaTheFun- It was your review that sealed the deal for my wife and I to book the cruise. So thanks!! The only problem (if you can call it that) I am actively trying to solve is that it is Masters week when we are on board. It is the only sporting event I really love to watch and I am hoping it is broadcast somewhere on board. It won't come until the evening so it should not interfere with any of the activities. Do you remember what channels are in the room? I know it sounds petty but I really love watching the Masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ritabob Posted March 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Los Pepes, I think you're out of luck as far as television coverage for the Masters. The ships/do have wifi, so if you have a laptop or tablet you might be able to get some information. That being said, the wifi can be a bit sketchy because it comes off satellites and when going through the locks it can disappear. Why not Pvr it and watch when you get home? you'll be having too much fun and will be so busy maybe you won't even miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttilaTheFun Posted March 26, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2014 AttilaTheFun- It was your review that sealed the deal for my wife and I to book the cruise. So thanks!! Glad to hear it! Unfortunately, I don't remember any channels onboard showing sports regularly - some new channels and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Pepes Posted March 27, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted March 27, 2014 It really is not a big deal to miss part of the Masters. You I can DVR the final round and watch it when I get home. Being over on the Danube will more than make up for it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojocmcla Posted March 27, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2014 AttilatheFun, I agree with you that Bob and Carol Preisman's review is excellent. I'm using it to plan our Prague to Budapest trip in May. For those of you wanting to read it...and it's very thorough.. thepreismans.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Pepes Posted March 30, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hey AttilaTheFun, Do you recall what the suitcase storage situation was on the Beatrice? We are trying to figure out which bags to bring. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2Otstr Posted March 30, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Hey AttilaTheFun, Do you recall what the suitcase storage situation was on the Beatrice? We are trying to figure out which bags to bring. Thanks! Suitcases can be stored under the beds (on all cruise lines). They slide right under there :D.
