Christmas Markets along the Rhine


Never hungry on the River Concerto - Breakfast is always a buffet

Occasionally, to accommodate a tour schedule, lunch is a buffet too	Robert, our waiter, is always nearby

Lunch & Dinner are ordered from the menu and efficiently served by our waiters Robert and Xavier. We made sure to sit in their station every single day.

	I was really glad to see Robert again. He was our waiter during our cruise in April. He helped me practice my Slovak language skills every day so I could communicate better with my relatives during our visit in Slovakia after the cruise.
Dessert was delicious and beautiful displayed

Sometimes I ordered both options	I couldn't resist these during "high tea"

Sometimes dessert was on fire	and the entire crew was present

Our corner table always had fun together
	The crew got into the spirit of local dress when serving beer and sausage in the lounge one morning

This spirit continued during the crew show near the end of our cruise


	One evening we were entertained by a wonderful children's choir.
This is our 3rd trip this year down this section of the Rhine, famous for its castles and legends. It's dangerous to navigate around the sharp bends in the river. The signal device at left is used to warn ships of oncoming traffic A famous bend is Lorilei rock. Lucky us! Lorilei herself came onboard to say hello.

We took lots of photos during our trips here in April and July and the castles haven't changed since then So only 2 castle photos this time since Rheinfels Castle, which we explored for hours this summer, is our favorite ruin.

The River Concerto is a beautiful ship
