Buda is gooda but pest is the best
Scott_S
, Jul 2020
The only reason this did not get all 5 stars is that we only received 2 courses (dinner and dessert) instead of the advertised 3 unless you count the additional drink course that you need to pay extra for. Still, I felt it was a better deal than the buffet option other travelers chose. The cruise was comfortable, the staff friendly, the food good, and the views wonderful.
