Danube River Cruise #56 - Final Blog : New Friends!

Debbie and Hans from Canada
Chris and Linda from England
Welcome to the final blog of the Danube River Viking Cruise!  We took this great 5 country, 10 day cruise in May 2019 and had an amazing time. In fact, we've filled 56 blogs about it, and hope they've inspired you to take the same river cruise. In addition to the amazing things we saw and experienced, and the wonderful crew and treatment on the Viking River Cruise ship, we met some really special people who we befriended. This final blog of the trip will introduce you to them! 

1) Debbie and Hans from Canada- We got to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on the ship (I heard about it and tipped off the crew that led to a special dessert and a crew serenade). We loved spending time with them and so glad we're connected through Facebook!

Mary Margaret and Don from Georgia
2) Chris and Linda from England - Chris has a wacky sense of humor and Linda is wonderful (and patient!). They both brought us a lot of laughs! One evening, Chris took a bunch of napkin rings and brought them to Don and Mary Margaret's cabin - knocked on the door and quickly dropped them in Mary's hand and he ran off laughing! Glad to be connected through Facebook, too. 


Rob, Nikoli and Tom
3) Mary Margaret and Don from Georgia- We spent a lot of time together and enjoyed great conversations, laughs and toured some of the places. We also keep up through Facebook.  

We can't wait to see all of our new friends again!

4) The CREW- There were 2 special waiters who totally spoiled us- Tommy and Nikoli. We always sat in their section. They truly were the best of the best.
