Loved your detailed review!  We are retired and have done over 40 ocean cruises (most with NCL & Princess) and except for Yangtze River cruises as part of China tours two different years, this will just be our 2nd river cruise.  Our first was an AMA Christmas Markets cruise in December '18, and we really enjoyed it.  We are doing the same cruise you did (starting on July 21 '19), also on the Monarch Princess, as part of a 17 day Gate1 tour that starts in Warsaw.  BTW, we have done several multi-day Gate1 land tours and they always do a great job.  I noticed that someone referred to them as a discount travel provider, but they are actually very highly rated tour providers, and we felt sure that a Gate! river cruise experience would be good as well.  I enjoyed all the different details of your review and your replies to questions, and I will suggest to my husband that he sit still long enough to read it all as well.  😉  Sitting still long enough is usually the issue for either of us. 

Thanks!

We are supposed to be on the Monarch Princess on July 21 as part of a tour that begins in Warsaw on July 13.   Sorry to read about two different cruises that had engine problems, but we remain hopeful that our trip will go smoothly.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the info!  We have a 17 day Gate 1 tour in July that includes 7 days on the Monarch Princess.  We have no doubt it will be good, but it's nice to read what you wrote.
