  We had a lovely vacation on Crucestar. Our CD, Julia, was lovely and very helpful as were the crew. We only went to the lounge on a couple of evenings and the entertainment was really good. We were allocated a dining table with other English speakers which was great as the majority of passengers were German and my language skills are poor. I have a very simple palate and the restaurant could not have accommodated me better, I even put on weight with the 4 course breakfast, lunch & dinners! Our cabin was sufficient with everything needed for a week long vacation. Only comments I would make is that they need bigger towels and I found the bed a little hard. The itinerary was really good. The only difficult mooring was Vienna but the included bus & walking tour took care of any potential concerns. The included tours were really good and we could have availed of a concert in Vienna. Overall, a great week which offered all that we needed and an opportunity to visit some beautiful places at great value for money. Oh, I am in my early 50s and I wasn't the youngest but it wouldn't have mattered as the whole experience was lovely. Well done Crucemondo and keep up the good work. We would be happy to book another if the itinerary was right.

  Greg and Jozsef were amazing. Greg was an excellent guide, very organized, knowledgeable and fun. Jozsef was a safe and dependable driver. Regarding the itinerary, I wish we were able to see some of the Christmas markets at night. You don’t get the full experience when you only see them by day and miss out on all the lights at night. I wish we would have had more time to spend in Colmar and Strasbourg instead of being rushed to get back for dinner or either stayed somewhere closer to the markets so there was an option to go back after dinner on our own. I have a huge complaint about the hotel Mövenpick we stayed at our last night in Zurich. I was really disappointed Insight would choose a hotel of that caliber for us to stay in. It was very old and outdated. It was not the standard of hotel I would expect to stay in for the amount of money we paid for this trip and certainly didn’t compare to the quality of hotels we stayed in early in the trip. I was so grossed out by it that I contemplated paying out of pocket to get a hotel room somewhere else for the night. The room was extremely hot, the bed was lumpy, the pillows were flat. The carpet was stained, wallpaper pilling off the walls.

  Jampacked activities and I really wished it had more free time. More days spent in Switzerland instead of Germany would have made it perfect. Accommodations are almost perfect except for first 2 nights when they did not lay out the trundle bed even through they knew there will be three people in the room and we had to verbally ask. They corrected it after we complained. The only reason I’m giving it a perfect score is because our travel director Faith was outstanding and went above and beyond our expectations! Our bus driver Attila was excellent too. One has to be physically fit for this tour but overall enjoyable. This tour kept us wanting to return to Swtzerland someday!
