sitraveler Posted March 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2009 My wife & I are booked on the Spirit, doing your trip in reverse, same dates. If you haven't taken a river cruise, its not a "cruise". A river cruise is a bus tour without the bus. Each day you leave the boat for a tour, often on foot, sometimes with a short bus trip where a local guide provides you with information about what you are seeing. The food is fine, the boat holds about 200 passengers and while there are assigned groups for the day trips, the meals are open seating. I saw the Legend description but the premium for the new ship seemed excessive. We do cruise with Oceania, so our expectations of comfort and food and all the other considerations are significant. Evening entertainment is limited. I don't know what other info you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacmom Posted March 13, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 13, 2009 So glad you were able to rebook on the same boat!! Now you can start really planning. My BIL lives in Villanova. DH and I are also VU grads. Always enjoy seeing that someone is from the Phila. area. We'll be there in June for our 45th reunion. Enjoy your cruise.

no fuss travel Posted March 13, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I just spoke to Viking. The Legend's first cruise is on July 5th from Amsterdam to Budapest. I guess we are lucky because that is the cruise we booked on. They said that it will probably sell out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
