Relaxing

We booked the Danube cruise starting on1st May. We were lucky enough to sail on the APT Solara which was on it’s maiden voyage. The ship was clean and pristine and the seating and furniture were all nice and new. We couldn’t believe how quiet and smooth the ship was, at times we thought we were stationary yet looking out of the balcony window we could see we were moving. The room was spotless when we arrived the bed in particular was very comfortable and the shower nice and hot and had a good head. My wife enjoyed the bow camera on the large tv showing the front of the boat. There were issues with the news channel and film channels which either pixelated or showed a completely different film from the one selected, so there were technical issues.There were two things that need changing for the room, the rubbish bin was far to small and the pillows on the bed were odd one very large one and then a really tiny one. The staff were all very professional, polite and always helpful they literally couldn’t do enough for you, particularly in the restaurants and housekeeping. At this point we have to mention Roland Noordermer the cruise director who was absolutely brilliant , friendly , helpful and so knowledgeable about the areas we were travelling through. Due to the fact that I had just had an operation only a few days prior to travelling , we opted out of some of the excursions, which wasn’t a problem. Staying on board was nice and relaxing and I quite enjoyed the quiet ride down the Danube. The last evening cruise on the Danube in Budapest was amazing with all the buildings lit up and a good selection of music from Roland is not to be missed. One issue that needs addressing regarding the restaurants is the limited menu. We had informed APT prior to travelling that my wife was dairy free which included beef and due to my operation, I was on a low fat diet. Every meal involved beef of one sort or another even the alternatives offered were a beef burger or cheese burger. Most of the cakes or desserts were cream based in one form or another. Most days we ended up with fresh fruit so very little alternatives for us. There was fish on the menu, but very little other choice. We feel there needs to be greater options for people with food allergies. Overall the cruise, ship and staff were superb everything was well organised including transfers to and from the ship. We would thoroughly recommend APT cruises.
