I presume you mean 2018 ,,,,,

 

When you finally get your cruise documents most of your questions will be answered as it includes a BOOK specific to your itinerary. I'm copying some info from mine. We sailed in late May, Budapest to Nuremberg, with a Viking pre stay in Budapest and stayed beyond on our own beginning in Nur', then moving to Hamburg.

 

1. we had no water level issues but this can't be predicted this far out. ya just gotta watch how the spring rains happen. Using Vienna as a mid point reference, April temps average high of 57 and low of 41 (f) ... according to the documents we were provided. For us, in late may it was a bit warmer but the info was generally accurate.

 

2. sulfate smell? never heard this or experienced it. maybe a reference to engine exhaust? because the ship does not have a 'stack' as such a following wind might cause exhaust to be blown back over the decks but I did not experience ANYTHING like this. (and I'm a sailor so would have known what it was)

 

3. As I recall there was 'explore on your own time' built into every 'included tour'. usually at the end of a walking tour, if the boat wasn't 'right there' the guide would finish by saying the bus will be over there at time XXX if you want a ride back OR you can get back on your own. The boat sails at YYYY. But NOTE that SOMETIMES the boat MOVES while you are on a tour - included or extra - so if you set off on your own the responsibility is YOURS to get back to your floating hotel. Like I said this is all explained in the detailed itinerary you'll get - ours was nearly 40 pages . . .

We are cruising this december and would like to know what time the ship leaves each port of call from budapest to nuremberg. We wanted to visit the christmas markets at night and dont know if the ship stays in port at night. So was just wondering. Thx Steve

We are going on the Romantic Danube cruise in December and wanted to know how long we are in each port. We wanted to do the christmas market cruise and wanted to visit the markets at night time. Does anyone know what times we leave each port? Budapest to Nuremberg

Hello everyone, Is there anyone out there that can tell me if room 9248 on the navigator of the seas is a room that gets really choppy vs the aft cabins. We have never stayed this far forward before and just upgraded to the JS. Just trying to figure out if it gets really rough forward. Thanks Steve
