    Would not recommend to a single person. Two days in a row the tours we booked were cancelled. Both trips were in my top three reasons to take this cruise, so am extremely angry. Furthermore, the trip to the Bavarian Forest was cancelled on the basis of A SINGLE PART of the tour being closed. The woman in charge of the activities on the Emerald Destiny should be fired over her handling of that situation. Additionally, none of the Christmas markets, the main advertised feature of the cruise, were open! The food was also awful. Would give 0 stars if I could.
