CharlieWoo Posted April 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Anybody going on this cruise or who has been on it and can give me some tips please? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2012_Alaska_bound Posted May 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Took the cruise last April. Loved it. What tips are you looking for? Assume you are already booked, but if not best weather according to our Cruise Director is before mid-May and after mid-October. Otherwise it can be very hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am booked for the first week in June but I don't mind hot at all:) What tips? How people dress? is it very casual jean shorts and t shirts or a bit less casual ? Is the food as good as they say? If yes I had better start a diet now. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2012_Alaska_bound Posted May 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Dress during the day is casual. Most people change for dinner into something nicer than shorts and t-shirts. The food was very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If time/budget permits, consider several days in Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia and some time on Madeira. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday golf Posted May 13, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Great trip. The scenery is amazing but found the planned trips probably not as good as other river cruises we have been on. The ship is great , food though not so good and the real downside is the fight to get tables at dinner. The queue for the dining room started well before opening . Hated it ,did tend to put us off river cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieWoo Posted May 14, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Thank you for this feedback, negative though it is, it is very helpful. Perhaps I should take some sandwiches... Just joking. We like to eat early so hopefully we will be able to avoid the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
