Douro 1 Day Cruise Regua etc Return

Is it a fair guess that in November I would not need to reserve way out but could wait to see what the weather looks like during the 3 days we have allocated to Porto?

Then, when we get ready to book, does anyone have knowledge of Cruzeiros Douro? They do OK on Tripadvisor reviews. Looks like they may encompass companies mentioned in Rick's Portugal like Rota do Douro. But I don't see any advantage in booking direct if Cruzeiros Douro is ferreting out all the options.

Our hotel booked this for us a day or two before. At meals, we were seated at the English speaking table. Nice boat and service but the trip was rather montonous.

We did a wonderful week long river cruise on the Douro. Also, stayed two extra nights in Porto and loved it.

The more scenic are of the Douro is beyond the short cruise (day) cruise from Porto.

Consider taking the train up the valley, the train runs along the north side of the river.
