If you wish to do something like that, that would be absolutely wonderful. This would be so appreciated. It is mind boggling to me, oh my. thank you

We are planning an Avalon Cruise next fall (Danube, Budapest westbound to Vilshofen) and we understand that water levels are constantly changing and that one year does not portend the next. We are looking at the end of August, beginning of September, middle of September, and end of Sept/first of October. From historical information is there significant differences between these time options---water levels etc. We are are fine with fluctuating temperatures. I have read spring/early summer is better in relation to having enough water, but we can not travel during that period. So is late August better than late Sept/early Oct etc. I see comments that the rivers are typically low late summer, early fall, but the last two years there seem to be flooding. Basically I guess I am asking is there information about percentage of travelers whose trips are not disrupted during late summer/early fall? We read the comments of those who have been disrupted, but is that typically a low percentage or is it really the majority of cruises are disrupted. thanks for any information. We are first time river cruisers and appreciate learning from experiences.
