    Thank you. Very enjoyable and well done. We just got back from our first GCT cruise, although we’ve traveled with OAT a lot. We started in Prague with pre trip, then Vienna to Amsterdam, then Bruges post trip (Great Rivers of Europe). So now trying to decide where to next!

    Terrible cruise! I just returned from a Grand Circle Rhine River Cruise & the only thing positive I can say about it was that the Serbian crew were very nice & hard working. Cabins are all alike w two beds coming out of the wall w 3” mattresses. Food was mediocre & the house wine was cheap. No regional wines or cultural events onboard or off. The most perfunctory of guided tours were given in the few towns we visited. At least 3 stops were canceled & an evening w dinner, local entertainment was canceled. This cruise line cuts corners & because it’s cheaper than the competition, it’s popular…but you will get what you pay for.
