Boarding the Murray Princess was similar to boarding a normal cruise ship where we were allocated to our cabins after a safety talk. The cabins are all on the lower deck level with a lift as well as stairs to access the above levels which is very convenient for those people unable to use stairs comfortably. The ship had a couple of larger cabins for invalid persons including those using wheelchairs. We had one of the larger rooms which also had convenient access to the lift and also to the cafe bar. I understand that the normal cabins are much more compact and accessed from the side balcony areas.
We were all given a gift of a coffee mug each which we could use every day to help ourself to free tea or coffee at any time from the cafe bar.
The restaurant and bar are on the top deck where we had all of our meals and pre dinner drinks. Breakfast was informal where lunch and dinner were more formal. Presentation and meals were very good and there as plenty of information handed out each day (same as a cruise ship) where the day's schedule was set out in detail so we knew where we were on the river and details of the more historical places.
The quality of the food and wine was good and the staff very friendly. There was no TV or WiFi available when we were on the boat due to technical problems they were experiencing at the time.
We enjoyed the experience of this unique tour.
