After 3 years of waiting, we are so ready to travel internationally as an extended family again (my in-laws, my brother in-law and us with 2 kids). Fingers crossed that this trip goes off without uneventfully! There is still a lot of availability on this tour (as well as all the others) so it may be a small group overall. The Cat 7 room looks spectacular, but it comes with the caveat of having with the 2 kids with us. As much as I tried, I couldn't pawn one off on their uncle (traveling solo). Shocking.
We made arrangements to extend the trip one day on each end. This will allow us to explore Munich and Budapest a bit, while the rest of the family is coming right in the day of the cruise. Personally I think it is less risky, and more refreshing to have given ourselves one day to recover from the flights. Right now, I've been having fun just researching restaurants for some local flavors (that are also great for casual dining with teens) for those extended nights.
For those that may be interested:
As of March 23rd 2022 [from Tauck] - there are 6 boys- ages 12-19 years old and 6 girls- ages 11-17 years old*
- it can obviously change closer to departure, but I haven't asked since March as I might not get a reply by the time we leave.
