Danube Cruise

Two years ago we went on a Viking cruise down the Rhine. So the ship, our cabin, the food on board were fine and similar to our last cruise, which we enjoyed a lot because of the historic cities along the way. We did not like the itinerary, the ports of call, other than Budapest, on this Danube cruise. Such places as Vukovar, Nidin, Russe, and even Belgrade and Bucharest, lacked the cultural and historic beauty that this romantic sounding cruise promised. We were therefore disappointed and often bored by the tours of these places. Also Viking did not handle this cruise well; many mishaps -- such as no room keys when we boarded and no water on our first morning.
