My husband and I are booked for October 2020 on the Food Wine Rhine cruise. We will have one pre-night before the cruise... Is there enough to see in Basel or should we do our pre-night in Lucerne instead? Would it be foolish to try to catch the train in from Lucerne the morning of the cruise? I've read the train system is very efficient in Switzerland and the train ride is only an hour to Basel from Lucerne. I have my eye on the Hotel Schwiezerhof. Also, does anyone know what the pre-night hotel is in Basel that ABD will be staying at? Do we need to be at the ABD hotel early to meet the guides to pick out excursions? I've read that in the past that guests sometimes did not get their first choice of excursions for the Rhine. (Not sure if this was a problem on the Adults-only Food and Wine cruise or just the regular Rhine sailings.) My other fear is missing out on the excursions we want bc we aren't staying at the same hotel. Thank you
