We are contemplating a 7-10 day cruise in May on the Danube and/or Rhine river. I am drawn to embarking in Budapest and spending a few days there before heading up the river to perhaps Vienna and beyond.
Does anyone out there have any experience booking cruises like this. What are some of the hints to gain the best deal, decent cabins, prices, etc. Wherever I go I flash my military ID, University Professor ID, senior citizens card, and AAA card to see which, if any, discounts are offered.
Any advice would be appreciated.
From England, thank you very much, indeed.

AMAwaterways and Viking are offering Free air right now from emails and brochures we’ve recently received. Must book in September. Tempting Danube itineraries.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

We did a Rhine cruise a couple years ago on Amawaterways and were very pleased with the boat, the crew, and the food. Would not hesitate to recommend Amawaterways. Here is a link to our blog: Rhine BlogSafe travels

I did some research on a Danube River cruise a few years ago and had a hard time finding one that left from, or ended in, Vienna. Only AMA had a short cruise. Vienna is just wonderful.
