    Dear Mrs Reckerth, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cuisine, food, and service on board, as well as the overall route of the cruise. We regret that the information regarding transportation options at the landing in Rastatt was insufficient. We will certainly take this into account for future cruises to ensure that all guests have the necessary information. Regarding the excursion to Rüdesheim, we're sorry that it did not meet your expectations. Your suggestion about being able to visit the vineyard and taste the grapes is valuable, and we'll explore ways to enhance this experience. We also acknowledge your concerns about the lack of information in German during the excursion. We will work to ensure that our excursions provide equal, explanations in all languages offered to avoid such discrepancies. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again in the future. Best regards, The Customer Service Department

    Dear Mr. Percival, We would like to thank you for taking the time to review your cruise with us. We are glad to read you enjoyed the ship and the food. We have noted that you would have preferred a lunch buffet. Your suggestion, as well as your comments on the excursions and the entertainment have been forwarded to the ship’s purser and his manager. We are sorry if the entertainment was not up to our regular standards. Regarding the sailing schedule, the purser informed me that it was done as planned. The program indicates the sailing time each day. However, it is true that the sailing time from Treves to Cochem is not clearly mentioned in the program. It is implied though. We are sorry if that lead up to any confusion. Despite that, we hope we’ll still have the pleasure to welcome you again on board one of our ships. Best regards, CroisiEurope Customer Care Department
