Rhine River

November

Pros: Suites, food, service, ports

Cons: Upper deck so so. Not the most comfortable. No bar, no couches, no comfortable chairs. Not manned by staff.

Recommended: Yes

Overall a good company. But the views of the castles and the Rhine River are best from the top deck. It was chilly but many people up there. No bar, not manned although staff did come up with trays of drinks but not the same as a staffed bar. Chairs were metal and not padded enough, no couches as on Crystal.

S.S. Antoinette Rhine River Cruise

September

Pros: Excellent dining, excellent staff attentiveness, very clean and spacious

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. The dining was excellent, lots of different kinds of food, something for everyone‘s taste. Everything on the ship was very clean, the rooms were spacious, inviting and comfortable. The shore excursions were very well organized, and the guides were very knowledgeable and made the experience a real education. We enjoyed the special 70s evening on the ship, but did not much care for the other entertainment. Overall we enjoyed our trip very much, it was very relaxing, we had lots of fun and also made lots of new friends. I would recommend this cruise to anyone that wants to enjoy a vacation on the River!

Do Not Recommend Uniworld Rhine River Cruise

August

Pros: staff, service

Cons: food, excursions

Recommended: No

Staff were all friendly and helpful and provided great service. There were some tasty dishes on the menu but overall the food was not good and sometimes inedible. The free excursions (walking tours mostly) happened so early in the morning we missed all of them. Usually there was nothing to do in the afternoon. The paid excursions were horribly expensive and too long away from the boat. Overall, there was very little programming and not much to do. Dinners dragged on and on--the staff did their best to get everyone served in a timely manner but there's no way to do that. They need to figure out a new system for dinners.

2024 Uniworld Cruise - Rhine River

May

Pros: Beautifully appointed ship.

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

The safety card in our state room showing our emergency meeting area needs to be clearer. The letter B was in white on a yellow background and very hard to see. We did not know our meeting area was area B until the safety meeting. The letter needs to be much more prevalent and easier to see in case of an emergency.

Castles Along the Rhine

May

Pros: Everything was fabulous

Cons: The ship was dry---- need to add a humidifier . Also--- overhead shower head.

Recommended: No

Uniworld is still THE TOP in European river cruising. Everything on the ship from start to finish was amazing! The boarding and disembarkation processes seamless---food and beverages fabulous----and the crew was amazing. The excursions were wonderful and smaller groups than what I saw on competitors. Uniworld is the best in European river cruising!!

If I had known cruises were this wonderful I would have taken many more before this one! Now I am hooked, but as my staff tell me, I am spoiled! There is no going back to any other cruise line but Uniworld! I hope to take many more cruises in the future! Thanks for such a wonderful vacation!

The best vacation ever

September

Pros: The ship was beautiful, a truly, floating hotel. The crew couldn’t of been nicer. They were beyond any expectations I had. The food was excellent. We enjoyed having an overview of the next day with Pete, and found every guide, driver, waitress’, to be so nice and friendly.

Cons: I can’t say anything negative about the ship! One thing, we didn’t have any entertainment on the ship for 2 nights, apparently they canceled and couldn’t get a replacement

Recommended: Yes

Would do it again, it’s an awesome way to travel thru Europe.

Castles on The Rhine on the S.S. Antoinette

April

Pros: everything was great including the pre and post cruise extensions

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

Everything on the ship was wonderful. The staff was the greatest. Very attentive to details. The food and drink was outstanding. We really enjoyed our pre and post cruise extensions. Our local guides for these were fantastic. They took very good care of us. The cruise director, Chad, was the best. We enjoyed all the excursions we took. The local guides for these were also excellent. They all spoke very good English and were very knowledgeable. Everything on the cruise was very well organized. If there were any problems the staff handled them quickly and to everyone's satisfaction.

Recommended: Yes

Everything about this cruise was first class: dining room, cabin, excursions, ship's staff. The mission of the staff and crew was to make the traveler's experience enjoyable and unforgettable.

S.S. Antoinette

October

Pros: From the Captain of the ship to all the crew we were very pleased with our trip.

Cons: Don't know of any.

Recommended: Yes

The S.S. Antoinette is a beautiful, luxurious ship. Our every need and desire was cared for from every one of the crew. They were all so kind and willing to help in any way. All of the excursions were well planned and executed by very knowledgeable tour guides. The food was very plentiful and delicious with many choices every meal. The entertainment onboard was spectacular. We were kept up to date of all activities with a daily report left in our rooms in the evening and by our travel agent who planned everything. We would love to take another river cruise in the future.
