Reading the Tauck forum from 2022 for Danube Christmas markets - comments from several state the lunches at 2 palaces are mediocre at best and time consuming. Any recent updates ? Has Tauck made upgrades or options to eat in the markets ? Appreciate any recent comments.
The lunches were a good break for me. In Vienna on one day there were demonstrations and many people on the streets. When we finished lunch Tauck ushered us away from the areas affected very efficiently. That day it was also very cool and damp and a warm lunch and entertainment by children was much appreciated. The lunch in Salzburg was very long and time consuming, It was a good meal though. We were treated to lunch and a ride up to the castle in the funicular . I still had plenty of time at the markets both times.
We had some really cold weather on our cruise including a very wet snow storm the day in Salzburg so the lunches were a nice chance to sit and warm up. In Vienna it was a buffet meal and the food was ok but not great. Some people went off after to other markets nearby but most took the coach back to the ship. The Salzburg lunch was table service and was excellent. I would have liked time to tour the castle.
