Vienna

Geo: 48.177, 16.4756

Another glorious day but the forecast is for a cool change tomorrow. Just as well as we've run out of lightweight clothing. Vienna tours Monday and Tuesday, in another city with amazing heritage buildings.

Cabin 304
Generous wardrobe behind Rob. Mini-bar (with our Czech beer waiting to be drunk), safe, etc. Haven't used the outside area yet, maybe later.
TV has movies, internet, cruise info and local stations.

Cabin
Hard, but comfortable bed with space under for suitcases. Very quiet.

Cute arrangement by our stewardess

Bathroom
Great bathroom with waterfall and hose shower roses in the little shower on the right.
No self-service laundry on board so the sinks and bath area do double duty for washing and drying.

Ship's Lounge
Comfortable and all drinks included. Not such a risk with old farts - if we were twenty-something I'm sure we'd be hammered much of the time. The Austrian wines have been very good.
There are 156 passengers, most older than us but perhaps twenty our age or less. Nearly all Aussies.

Vienna Lock
Coming into the lock outside Vienna.
One life boat on board. The Captain said if we sink the ship will rest on the bottom and we'll walk to shore!

Sun Deck
They have to lay everything flat to pass under low bridges. The boat's length is 135m.

Small dining room
This seats 24 and you have to book. The food, service and wine are meant to be special but we were unimpressed. It seemed to be more about being pretentious (tiny portions arranged just so, with colourful sauces painted on the food and plates). Others had a different experience so we'll have a second try later.
The main dining room has seats for all and there is a huge choice and very good food. Perhaps this is why the small room paled in comparison?
