Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. On the Viking HERVOR and presently docked at Rudesheim (9:45pm now, sailing at 11:30 pm!) after sailing the UNESCO Rhine Gorge today - beautiful day weather- wise!!! Trip has been wonderful - getting everything in with just slight adjustment in schedule!!!
  2. Presently we are on the Viking Hervor sailing to Cologne (will dock at Vons for bus into town) and, last evening, were told Sunday we would be in Koblenz in the morning, sail the castles in the afternoon and arrive in Rudesheim at about 5 pm!!! The trip to Kinderdike left earlier than the original schedule to give us extra time to sail to Cologne! Have to hand it to Viking - they are really trying to deal with low water problems while giving us the most they can!!!! Will report back on how things work out Sunday - fingers crossed!!!! (BTW - the Herfor is new state of the art ship and fabulous!!)
  3. We leave tomorrow for Amsterdam (2 days) and are scheduled to board the Hervor on the 8th to begin our River cruise. We've received all sorts of Info from Viking but no mention of low water on the Rhine or possibility of ship swapping! We'd be completely unprepared if it weren't for CC! Thank you all for posting - will try and report back as we travel!!!!
  4. Momofthre3 - my choice - the Greek Islands!!!! Have only been to Athens, Corinth and Santorini but just loved it!!!!! Try to include a sail through the Corinth Canal and if you get to Santorini, have at least a lunch on the water in Ammoudiou, just below Oia - fabulous!!!!!
  5. Travellovervic - Please keep us updated!!!! I known things are changing day-to-day but we will be following in your foot steps leaving NYC September 5th!!! It'll help to be prepared!!!! Please post about your excursions plus ship-swaping!!! Thanks much!!!!!
  6. Thank You Milling73 for taking your vacation time to share your experiences with us - its wonderful to have honest first hand stories even if its not what we'd like to hear - it helps all of us who have to make decisions!!!!! Please keep posting!!!!!
  7. My BFF and I leave Amsterdam September 8th for Basel and decided to go regardless of low water on the Rhine. I feel bad since this is her first River Cruise!! We're scheduled to meet a German friend for dinner in Rudesheim I've been glued to this site for weeks and praying for rain (at night)!!! But what will be will be!!!! Thank you all for your information - some of which I actually do understand! - and also for your on-site updates of how the companies are meeting this challenge!!! Your information is, as usual, very helpful!!!
