Budapest to Prague September 8 departure. Who else is doing this one?
Any word on the status yet? As of today we are about 3 1/2 weeks out and the forecast is not promising for significant rain. Hopefully we’ll get some good advance notice on any changes.

I spoke with a Tauck representative and he said that it is too early to determine if they would cancel the cruise or not. He said they are praying for rain! Come up with any ideas for a Plan B?
I am booked for the 9/15 sailing, and have made arrangements before and after. If Tauck cancels I might travel on my own, by train rather than bus, and staying in less expensive hotels.
We're on the 9/8 sailing and of course have heard nothing. My travel agent spoke with Tauck and they indicated to him that we should know something this coming week, Aug 17-21. I spoke to a Tauck rep they said we'd know something by 8/28
I think Tauck has to wait for Scylla . Their hands are tied.
That's a good observation. I expect the contract between Tauck and Scylla says that if Tauck cancels they still have to pay Scylla, but if Scylla cancels, they don’t. So Tauck has to wait until Scylla says that they can’t provide a boat. And Scylla isn’t going to do that until they're absolutely sure they can’t run the cruise.
FWIW a tracking app shows MS Savor tied up at Bratislava and MS Joy tied up near Krems. Neither has moved lately.
tcrosse, do you have a link or info on the app please? TYIA.

Western and Central Europe is forecast to receive between 5 and 10 cm of rain this week. With the sun backed soil the river levels may rise faster than expected. Hopefully this makes river cruising better in the coming weeks
