点评:My Husband and I went on the Riviera Medieval Germany Rhine cruise. Upon our arrival at the ship in Nuremberg we were shocked to find that we would not be actually cruising along the Rhine but instead were on the Main canal which connects the Rhine to the Danube...oh wait, we did travel about 1/2 a mile on the Rhine in order to get to Mainz. (Hardly a Rhine cruise)
No mention in Riviera's brochure of this being a journey along a man made canal.
No mention was made of the FORTY ONE locks that we would be navigating.
No mention was made of the numerous bridges that we would pass under thus rendering the use of the sun deck impossible for three quarters of the journey.
We were expecting to see the beautiful scenery and majestic historic towns of the Rhine, instead our views consisted of various industrial sites, particularly cement works, aggregate manufacturing, recycling plants, rusty abandoned works, rusty cranes.
On the plus side, yes, the various towns we visited were beautiful and full of history and the cruise ship was first class with a wonderful crew, well equipped cabins, excellent food and had a great atmosphere.
5 stars for the ship and crew but only 2 stars for the canal trip itself.
We would not recommend this cruise unless you have an interest in the inner workings of the German canal lock system..
翻译:我和我的丈夫参加了里维埃拉中世纪德国莱茵河游轮。当我们到达纽伦堡的船上时,我们震惊地发现我们实际上并不是沿着莱茵河巡航,而是在连接莱茵河和多瑙河的主运河上……哦等等,我们确实旅行了大约 1/2沿着莱茵河行驶一英里即可到达美因茨。 (几乎不是莱茵河游轮)
里维埃拉的小册子中没有提及这是沿着人造运河的旅程。
没有提到我们将要航行的四十一个船闸。
没有提及我们将经过的众多桥梁,因此在四分之三的旅程中不可能使用阳光甲板。
我们原本期待看到莱茵河美丽的风景和雄伟的历史城镇,但我们看到的却是各种工业场地,特别是水泥厂、骨料制造、回收厂、生锈的废弃工厂、生锈的起重机。
从好的方面来说,是的,我们参观的各个城镇都很美丽,历史悠久,游轮是一流的,有优秀的船员、设备齐全的船舱、美味的食物和良好的氛围。
船和船员是 5 星,但运河之旅本身只有 2 星。
我们不会推荐这次巡游,除非您对德国运河船闸系统的内部运作感兴趣。
