Great Review! We took our first Gate 1 river cruise in April to Netherlands and Belgium on tulip cruise and loved it. This was our third river cruise and by far the cheapest. Gate 1 is 20-30% cheaper than other companies and very comparable. We had taken several Gate 1 land tours and thought we'd see how they did in the river cruise category. They delivered in every respect!

Bidding process is easy-peazy. We leave next Sunday on the Regal. I originally purchased a balcony aft on Marina deck, which is our favorite location. About six weeks ago, I bid the minimum, $70 per person for a deluxe balcony. I was notified last Saturday that bid was accepted and we now have a deluxe balcony on back of ship on Marina deck. I have always wanted to try an aft facing balcony so immediately accepted the offer by paying for it on My Princess. The whole process was very easy, and, in our case, we got a new cabin very close to original location. It is very easy to bid and a fun warm-up to hitting the casino onboard.

Thank you for the detailed directions. We had a devil of a time finding the parking garage on our last cruise. I'm going to print these directions out for future reference.

Just a heads-up Cruise Suzy, we did the Mountain Views and City Sights tour last January and really enjoyed it, but there are many steep and uneven stairs in the botanical gardens and some steep slopes. You walk down the mountain through the garden to get to the bus.
