We traveled on the Kaiserin Elisabeth and were very impressed. The grill buffet was also very good, unfortunately the quantity of some dishes was too small, although the ship was not fully booked. The crew on board, including the captain, were very competent and very friendly. The tour is highly recommended. Due to the prevailing heat, the planned fireworks display could not take place, but as an alternative all guests were offered free Prosecco.

It was a very nice evening from start to finish with a beautiful ambience, great music, good food and friendly staff. The only small point of criticism would be the following: We are not from Vienna and don't really know our way around. There was a last-minute change to the ship. But even if we had known, there were no staff or markings (beach flags or banners) in front of the ship that the dinner cruise was about to start. I walked around the whole quay forever trying to find the MS Kaiserin Elisabeth or any indication of where exactly the dinner cruise starts. Perhaps that could be retrofitted.
