We wanted a type of holiday that we hadn't tried before and didn't involve any type of sea cruise (prone to sea sickness) or long air flights. We also wanted a trip that gave us the option of joining in with day trips to interesting places or just staying on board and relaxing. The cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest certainly did that. The ship is big enough to navigate the rivers and locks yet ...
As previously with Scenic the organisation of embarkation, disembarkation and the excursions was excellent. The ship was very comfortable and managed by the crew very well - an excellent captain. The hotel side, room and general ship cleanliness and tidiness was outstanding. The dining experience was good although service was a problem at one point; however this was dealt with very ...
My wife and I travelled with Scenic for a fortnight from mid-September 2016 between Amsterdam and Budapest. We paid for a balcony suite in the middle of the Sapphire deck (deck 2) and found it to be very comfortable and relatively quiet. The bed was excellent and a pillow menu was available if required. From time to time we could hear some noise as we moved through locks, but it caused us no ...
I liked the fact that we only had to unpack and pack once.
All of our food and drinks, including snacks and the contents of the mini- bar in our cabin were included in the price --- that was good. Coffee and tea were available on a self-serve basis from nice machines all of the time, with delicious biscuits available and the areas were kept scrupulously clean.
Buffet breakfasts and lunches ...
We chose this cruise because it was ALL INCLUSIVE; because of the choice of shore excursions offered; because of the personal services; because of the dining choices; and also because of the wonderful reviews found on this website. Scenic Amber was just christened in April 2016 and the ship was beautiful. Everything was clean and well-kept. We had ordered a private balcony suite on the diamond ...
The river cruise was without a doubt the best holiday we have ever been on. The Scenic Amber was outstanding, the crew could not do enough for you and nothing was to much of a problem. All three sections, house, kitchen and bar were outstanding. The cabin was always kept clean and tidy, the Buttler did a terrific job looking after us, the meals were just the best especially with the different ...
This was my first European river cruise. We were switched to Scenic due to a fire on originally booked Emerald ship. I am totally spoiled! Scenic Amber is Scenic's newest ship and it is lovely. Service, food, excursions, all top notch. Excursions have 'gentle' option if you aren't up to walking uphill or lots of stairs. On most days there were several choices of excursions and some were hard ...
The Scenic Cruise boat we were on was less than a year old and in perfect condition. Really enjoyed activities on the top and watching the settlements only the river as we drifted by. The food was well made and well presented. The cabin was clean, well laid out with comfortable mattresses. AND it was cleaned every morning. The boat staff was extremely helpful and always did their best to help ...
