Cannot fault the cruise itself apart from the weather unfortunately! The ship was clean and tidy, the crew polite and attentive and the food lovely. However it is worth mentioning that although it is suggested that if you can climb a couple of sets of stairs you will be able to manage the distance to walk from the boat to the centre of town this can be too much for someone with slight mobility problems. Unlike ocean going liners there is no shuttle service. Also the double docking means that out of 7 days we could not open our curtains or have a view on 2 full days and some parts of the days. Having paid for a double juliette balcony this was not ideal.
due to easyjet cancelling flights we had a very bad start.
tui stated that occasionally we had to double dock and sometimes a we had a difficult walk over two ships only twice did we not double dock that blocked any view. also stated that occasionally the top deck would be collapsed for low bridges, it was down for four days and one day we sailed all day and had to stay inside not value for money not as good as a sea cruise.. towns visited and scenery very good
April 2022 was our second time on the lovely Tui Maya, two different itineraries on the Rhine. Enjoyed both so much that we have booked to go on the Maya again soon, this time on the German River Main.
Also, we have recently booked another Tui river cruise ship, on the Danube next year. We usually have a Deck 2 Superior Cabin, but have now spent a little more for a more spacious Suite.
We are experienced cruisers, e.g been on a Saga ship on the Danube some years ago.
Also, we have done many sea cruises over the years on various ships, including Tui Marella
We love that Tui have now gone into River Cruising. Great staff, good food and drinks, marvellous large windows in deck 2 cabins to enjoy the views, wonderful value for money.
Superb.
