Great info and tips everyone. Thank you.

Thank you Mark_T . I didn't know about the hats, and it makes sense the tour guides would be helpful in handling the heat. Sounds good.

A search of this board (and reviews) shows a fair number of posts on the Mekong. We're considering a land and river trip with Scenic in Vietnam and Cambodia in April, 2018. I would really appreciate info on how these trips (and cruisers) deal with the heat/humidity. The one we are considering goes full tilt and sounds great. But I wonder about how the itineraries deal with the heat, and how you handled it yourself. Many thanks.

Thanks so much jklc123 and cappricio - reassuring and informative.

We traveled with UW on our very first river cruise way back on an eastern European itinerary from Vienna to Bucharest and loved it. But it was fall and there were no issues with flooding or high water. So knowing how they handle it helps a lot. Great reviews and info, very much appreciated.

Great info, appreciated. Man you have a great cruise list there. Several of them are on my bucket list (Ganges, for example)

We're thinking of doing a long France cruise with Uniworld (April 2) in 2017 and wonder if anyone has done this "Ultimate France" combination? https://www.uniworld.com/en-ca/river-cruise/europe/france/ultimate-france/2017-avignon-to-bordeaux/day-to-day/ It's three ships, connected by train trips. Also, is this a time when water levels are an issue? Many thanks.

(The 3-week trip is a combo of Paris & Normandy, Bordeaux and Burgundy & Provence)

Thank you. Very good to know. Appreciated.

My husband and I cruised the Celebrity Silhouette from Venice to Rome (11 nights) and loved it, and we're now thinking of a very short family trip just before Christmas this year (Ft. Lauderdale, Key West, Nassau - 4 days)

Question: Our married 26 y/o son and wife and 28 y/o daughter and boyfriend would be with us. Great short itinerary, so no worries there but how does the Constellation rank in terms of on-board life for this age group?

Any other observations? Thanks.
