Written on October 21st, 2024We missed the 1st port and instead of having 3 hours bus ride, we had to endure the 6 hours of bus ride under pouring rain.

Due to safety concerns from heavy rains and flooding, we had to reroute the ship from Turnu Magurele to Vidin. I understand that the 6 hour bus ride from Bucharest in challenging conditions was not ideal, and I appreciate your patience. I also regret the inconvenience caused by the lack of umbrellas, poor lighting, and slippery ground conditions upon arrival. Regarding the excursions, we fulfilled our commitment by providing all passengers with the FREE four English-speaking tours promised. While I understand there may have been confusion about additional optional tours, these were not included in your package and had not been prepaid. We focused on ensuring that everyone received the included excursions to enhance your experience. Your feedback about the air conditioning and cleanliness has been noted and will be addressed with our maintenance team. I’m glad to hear that you found our staff exceptional; they genuinely strive to provide excellent service. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you consider cruising with us again in the future. Best regards, Crucemundo Janine

We’re pleased to hear you appreciated our staff, but we sincerely regret the discomfort you experienced in your lower deck cabin. We have forwarded your feedback to our maintenance team, and we are committed to resolving any issues to ensure a better experience for our guests. It's important to note that this is not an issue in our middle and upper deck cabins, which are not affected in the same way. We deeply apologize that an upgrade wasn't available and that we were unable to meet your expectations during this trip. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to improving our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again with a more comfortable experience. Sincerely, Crucemundo- LD

Written on October 17th, 2024- Cabin rooms smelled like sewage, especially ones without open windows. - Two twin beds in main cabins are pull-down beds and are 3 feet away from each other …Read moreCrucemundo commented on this reviewDear Lena, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated our staff's efforts. We apologize for the odor in your cabin, and we've forwarded this concern to our maintenance team for resolution. We understand your comments about staff language skills and will continue to improve communication. Regarding the excursions, we offered them for FREE and will strive to provide clearer information in the future. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. Please note that our offer explicitly stated live music in the evenings, and while we aim to create a pleasant atmosphere, specific performances or entertainment were not promised. The Pirate-themed party was intended as a surprise, and participation in costumes was not mandatory. We aim to create memorable experiences and value your feedback on this. Finally, due to regulations, non-electric engine vessels cannot dock in Amsterdam, which necessitates larger ships docking in Zaandam. We understand the inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your input and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Sincerely, Crucemundo - FS

Due to safety concerns from heavy rains and flooding, we had to reroute the ship from Turnu Magurele to Vidin, and I understand that the 5.5-hour bus ride from Bucharest was challenging. We appreciate your patience during this journey. Upon arrival, we provided dinner at 11 PM since that was when passengers reached the ship. Instead of canceling the meal, we ensured everyone received what had been promised. Our fixed seating arrangements prioritize safety and comfort, particularly for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions, allowing us to manage meal preparations effectively. We fulfilled our commitment by offering all passengers the FREE four English-speaking tours included in the package. While we understand there may have been confusion regarding optional tours, these were not part of the package and had not been prepaid. Our focus was on delivering the included excursions to enhance your experience. We appreciate your feedback about the air conditioning and cleanliness, which will be addressed with our maintenance team. I’m glad to hear that you found our staff exceptional; they truly strive to provide excellent service. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you consider cruising with us again in the future. Best regards, Crucemundo

Hygiene Measures
Basic Rules
Physical Distancing
o Operational procedures are designed in such a way that a distance of at least 1.50 metres is maintained between persons. The distance may deviate if the ship passes through a country which requires
for less than 1.50 metres "physical distance".
o Where this distance cannot be maintained, employees protect themselves with the appropriate protective equipment for the situation, consisting of disposable gloves, aprons or protective masks / face shields (hereinafter referred to as personal protective equipment - PPE), which is changed regularly
o Physical contact is only carried out in a well protected manner in medical emergencies and during activities involving physical contact (hairdressing, massage).
o Shaking hands and other physical greeting rituals are strictly avoided.
Attention through Advice
o On board, instructions with pictograms are placed prominently in front of every access to public spaces, indicating how to protect oneself.
Hygiene
o Compared to many onshore operations, the river cruise sector has developed standards that are already tested - for example, in dealing with the norovirus. This hygiene standard applies to the regular cleaning and disinfection of
potentially contaminated objects (doors, door handles, handrails, elevator
buttons, etc.)
Passenger Health
The passengers were asked beforehand - before departure - by the tour operator about their state of health and about possible Covid-19 diseases in
their social environment. Passengers travel with a completed infection protection questionnaire.
At check-in, the shipping company carries out the standard procedure that
determines whether a passenger can board or not. (See Embarkation / Check-
In).
Passengers are tested with a contactless clinical thermometer if they feel sick.
Passengers are regularly questioned about their state of health.
The distance rules of 1.50 metres apply to all passengers.
General mask recommendation for the following cases: Passage from or to public areas and from or to the cabins.
Crew Health
Each crew member boards with a completed health questionnaire or medical certificate.
Employees are tested once a day with a contactless clinical thermometer.
Before taking up their duties, all employees are regularly questioned about their state of health.
The crew will be trained on arrival in the use of personal protective equipment and hygiene measures. The training courses will be documented.
Hygiene on Board
Preventing the spread of infections is a top priority.
Public areas are regularly disinfected.
The daily cleaning work includes a clear separation of the individual work steps.
The crew access to each cabin is always with prior hand disinfection.
Items shared by passengers (magazines, journals or bar snacks) are not allowed.
Touch screens for passengers are not used (e.g. to order), or they are disinfected after each guest.
In places where the minimum distance cannot be met on a temporary basis, passengers are advised to wear masks. The crew is obliged to wear masks if
this situation occurs.
Cabins
Each cabin must be cleaned in such a way as to avoid cross-contamination. After each cabin cleaning, hands are disinfected, and gloves are changed.
Daily disinfection of door handles, remote controls, telephone, etc. in the cabins.
Cleaning cloths are used in sets per cabin.
Guest questionnaires are not collected. The surveys are collected electronically. Printed material (such as guest questionnaires, menu information, etc.) remains with the guest or is disposed of after use. If data is collected electronically, surveys may take place.
Embarkation
Loading
o Suitcases are disinfected in front of the ship (handles).
o The ship's crew wears suitable personal protective equipment during the loading of suitcases.
Check-In
o Passengers are asked about their state of health on the day of embarkation
(could also be done on the bus to the ship). When boarding the ship on the day of embarkation, temperature will be taken with a contactless
thermometer.
o Passengers must always disinfect their hands when they access the ship.
o The entrance to the ship is controlled by a crew member.
o In front of the reception desk there are distance marks on the floor.
o The check-in at the reception takes place cabin by cabin, with an appropriate distance to the other passengers.
Double-docked Ships
o In case of double docking situations in ports, crew and passengers comply with the hygiene and physical distance rules and pass the adjacent ship
quickly to the exit without forming groups. The crew controls this process.
Public Areas
Lobby / Reception
o Plexiglas protects the reception staff and the cruise director's desk.
o Key cards and boarding passes are regularly disinfected after each use.
o The reception desk is regularly disinfected.
o The ship lobby is not a meeting point for excursions or other activities.

o It is mandatory to wear disposable gloves for anyone who comes into contact with items during activities in the restaurant the guest later comes into contact with.
o After clearing the tables, employees wash and disinfect their hands.
o If the distances in the restaurant cannot be maintained and there is no other area available, all meals can be organized in two seatings if necessary.
o A distance of 1.50 meters must be maintained between the groups of guests to the front and sides "shoulder-to-shoulder", and to the rear "back-to-back" a distance of 1.50 meters from table edge to table edge. If there is a separating element between the guest groups, the minimum distance is not applicable. In principle, all materials are permitted as long as the protection from a droplet infection is not significantly negatively affected by the choice of material.
o Shared items such as table spices, cutlery baskets, butter pots are not allowed.
o The breakfast buffet is without self-service. The crew serves from the buffet or à la carte from the kitchen, since even when serving from the buffet, depending on the restaurant layout, there is a risk of group formation when passengers choose their food.
