one thing not shown in the ads and so
0:02
something that throws many first-timers
0:04
on river cruises is that the ships often
0:07
dock alongside and parallel to each
0:09
other sometimes three or four deep you
0:12
can find especially on the busy rhine
0:15
and danube that your ship will have
0:17
other ships moored right up close on
0:19
either side boxing you in so even if
0:21
you've booked a premium floor to ceiling
0:24
window cabin you may find another ship's
0:26
cabin just a few feet away from you and
0:29
you're looking straight into that cabin
0:31
and it can actually get pretty dark this
0:33
also means that to get onto land you
0:36
have to climb up and over the adjoining
0:38
ship's sun deck or walk through the
0:40
adjoining reception areas if you have
0:43
limited mobility this can be
0:46
pretty challenging so be aware it's also
0:49
though a chance to peek inside other
0:51
river cruise line ships and see if you
0:53
prefer that particular one next time so
0:55
it's a good little insight there
