    The cruise itself is very chic, the views, the ambiance. The food was so-so, I think it could have been better. But the desserts, the fruit was great. Strawberries, pineapples, watermelons, and more. Delicious cocktails.

    The food on board had nothing to do with the food mentioned in the description. The meat was also burnt and dry.

    We really enjoyed the evening boat trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet was well stocked with everything you could imagine. However, we would like to mention one small drawback: The meat skewers were very dry, they were hard to eat. They could do with some improvement. The crew / the organizer are expressly not responsible for this: Some guests pounced on the buffet like starving animals. By the time we got a main course for the first time, some had already been to the buffet for the third time. By then, for example, the fish was finished, after which they pounced on the dessert, some of which was left uneaten on the tables when we left the ship. Indecent, subterranean, but apparently not to be changed.

    We traveled on the Kaiserin Elisabeth and were very impressed. The grill buffet was also very good, unfortunately the quantity of some dishes was too small, although the ship was not fully booked. The crew on board, including the captain, were very competent and very friendly. The tour is highly recommended. Due to the prevailing heat, the planned fireworks display could not take place, but as an alternative all guests were offered free Prosecco.
