Family Blue Danube June 24 2017
Just thought I'd post a thread in case anyone looks for this date! My husband and I and our 4 yr old daughter will be on this cruise with my husband's parents. It's on the Joy. If anyone has tips to share, that would be great!

VAtraveler, for tips first read everything on the Before You Go page for your tour. Lots of good info on what to pack, the weather, amenities on the ship, etc etc. Then read through lots of different threads here on the forum for different river cruises. The main difference between Tauck cruises are the itineraries. The day to day routine, logistics, etc are pretty much the same from cruise to cruise.
After you've read all that, if you need help come back to the forum and ask specific questions. Not all Tauck travelers bother with the forum but the ones here are generous with their help.
Have fun planning and dreaming about your cruise.
I have just spent a delightful hour reading this wonderful, funny, and informative blog. Thanks so much for posting all the commentary and pictures. My husband and I are both from Texas, too, and just booked the Blue Danube river cruise in July, 2017 to celebrate our 44th anniversary. We have never done a river cruise before and I have been looking at a lot of the posts to get an idea of what we are going to enjoy. Having only done cruises on the big cruise ships, this will definitely be a different experience and one I am looking forward to. We are on the July 20, 2017 cruise and I was worried about it being too hot but it sounds like for the most part the weather should be nice. I will probably be ready for some hot, spicy food when we get back home but the menus you posted look delicious.
We also traveled on the June 2016 Bridges Rhine River cruise so I'm sure we met you - do your daughters swim? We are a family of 8 traveling together - 4 kids, 2 parents, 1 uncle and a grandma - and we are also on the 6/24/17 trip! How cool is that.
My wife and I, son (16) and daughter (12) will be traveling on this trip, as well as my brother, sister-in-law, nephew (11) and parents so I'm glad to hear there will be other teens on board (Pauly). What ages are your 4 kids Merry Fam? We're wondering if there will be other kids on board around my daughter and nephew's age, as well as any other teens. We're looking forward to meeting everyone!
