We have been on two river cruises (Uniworld-Seine River) and AMA (Danube). We are booked on Uniworld's River Tosca on the Nile (hopefully in October) and are planning on taking Uniworld's Lisbon and Duoro Trip next Spring.
We take river cruises based on the itinerary, not the food, gambling, entertainment, etc. River cruises have one land excusion in each port and provide additional free time to WALK into town and explore on your own. On the cruises we took we never saw anyone playing cards or games. These trips are port intensive. After spending the day on shore and prehaps an evening, one is pretty tired. The main evening entertainment are local performers who board the ship and do their thing after dinner.
We enjoy the evening orientation for the next day, the guided port tours, and the ability to spend time on our own exploring places we are especially interested in.
After several ocean cruises and two river cruises I highly doubt we will many more large ship, ocean trips!!!
