  • In August of 2022, I booked a 4 night river cruise on the MS Viva Tiara and after boarding was treated to a little surprise! In this video, we sailed away and began cruising down the Rhein / Rhine river from Frankfurt, Germany. The food, the sunset, the bridges, it was all just great! #rivercruise #cruiseship #germany

    "Im not on the cruise I thought I was going on!"🤣😂🤣 Morgan, this cracked me up! It shows, that no matter how experienced a traveler you are, you can still make mistakes. I'm enjoying how peaceful river cruising seems to be. Enjoy! 😀

    I agree. The best thing about river cruising is just watching the world go by. Bridges and locks are great too. Very relaxing.

    Love you are showing all the amazing parts of a river cruise. If I want crazy go go trip definitely large ship. Relaxing get away in beautiful small towns with great views. A river cruise it is. Very different but both amazing. I think its great you are just enjoying the ride. Even if its not the cruise you thought it was. Great video

    Everytime you say Viva Tiara I think of Miss Vida Boheme and want to watch the movie again.
    Smaller dinner portions would be fine with me. Less weight gain on a cruise. Even though I like the variety of the buffet it's easy to over eat trying things that may only be offered once.

    We were on a Viking river cruise boat and we were in the lower level. We were fine with it.. However, the windows were way higher that the ship you were on. I like your ship better...totally impressed so far with that cruise line.

    I am being drawn to river cruises more and more - what wonderful views you have shown us as the ship peacefully glides along past woodland, great sunset. The dining room portion sizes are fine by me too, would rather have an enjoyable meal than feel uncomfortably full. Your commentary is very quirky "I'm not on the cruise that I thought I was going on". Look forward to the rest of your trip to find out where you visit on this magical mystery tour.

    You are so right about the portion sizes, perfectly fine with us also. We’re heading onto the Danube soon but with the Rhine already having low water levels we’re half expecting busses🤞🏻🤷🏼‍♀️. It’s a risk you take with river cruising.

    You room looks nice ,only the water being at window level gives me a bit of the Goosebumps .

    Hey Morgan, well done! I'm tempted to do a river cruise, so thanks. 2 questions ... (1) being in your low water cabin, next time would you upgrade to a higher cabin? (2) on your menu, next to the food heading it shows numbers like 5/6/7, what is that? Keep up the great work!!

    @StephenS0906 Před 2 lety +1

    Having the view you have is kind of disturbing, isn't it? I'd feel like I was constantly treading water, every time I looked out the window....lol! One thing I like about the river cruise is being able to sit up on deck and see both sides of the ship instead of just one. BTW, two commercials: One for American Cruise Lines, Inc., and one for MCT Oil. When it comes to meal portions anymore, I have found that I don't eat nearly as much as I used to. The menu options that they have for "50 and older" make alot more sense to me. More often than not, whenever I get a "regular" portion when I go to a restaurant, I end up taking almost half of it home for a second meal, and I often take the dessert to go, anymore. Just my two cents. ;)
