Budapest Scenic River Scenic Jade Cruise Reviews

Luxury crusing at its best. Although our tour was booked on the Jewel, we actually sailed on the sister ship the Jade, due to prior water level. On arrival we were greated by friendly staff that quickly became like family. The rooms are spacious and beds are top quality. Our personal butler, cabin steward, bar staff, wait staff, activities crew members and all others behind the scenes were ...

We chose scenic because it was all inclusive. We found that the little things that make a 5 star was lacking. First, the wifi was horrible. The TV stations options were poor. There are times on the trip that you actually do use the tv and WiFi, so zip it. Dinner food was ok, we have had better meals on oceana and at specialty dining on the bigl ships. They fell short here. The wine ...

Great river cruise but made exceptionally so by the brilliant staff who couldn't do enough for us. The ship was spotless. We were spoilt by the staff who catered to our every whim. Alex was the Hotel Manager - he was the BEST!!! He looked after me (I'm vegan and partially disabled) and he gave me 5 star treatment every night. He treated everyone with a smile and courtesy and made us all feel ...

It was not really supposed to have been me on this cruise, originally. My mother had a gentleman-friend, and they were going to see Europe together, but he went to an ill-advised Christmas party in 2021 and died of COVID complications a few months later. Nevertheless, Mom had always wanted to do this cruise, and I love Central Europe, so she brought me along instead. In the age of ubiquitous ...

Well, first of all, we did not cruise on Scenic Crystal but on Scenic Jade. Obviously this website has not caught up with the late change. We believe the boats are more or less identical but, obviously, any comments on here refer to SCENIC JADE, which is the boat we actually cruised on. Our (very short) cruise was great: lovely "cabins" with a king-size bed, all mod-cons and a balcony with a huge ...

Our ship was changed from Ruby to Jade - same layout, same design, same cabin. The cabin was spacious enough. Lots of storage. Having the balcony window move up and down allowed for fresh air and picture taking. Found the wine selection wanting. Not terribly impressed with the meals. One that stood out: the herb encrusted lamb was delicious. Ordering off the breakfast and lunch menus ...

Booked with Scenic because of there percieved reputation as being the best. One of , if not, the most expensive operators in both river and sea cruising and both my wife and myself expected do get much more than we actually got. We were supposed to have a butler service to introduce us to the cabin. Never saw one in the two weeks of cruise. The food was distinctly average at best. Spaghetti ...

I wanted to try Scenic because I wanted an all inclusive vacation where I did not have to worry about anything. We had first class food and service all the way. The crew and passengers were friendly. The excursions were well done with no detail left unturned. I liked the electric bike option and we used them several times. I had a medical problem while docked in a small German town. Every ...

I had previously (last year) done a cruise with Scenic and was very satisfied. I originally chose this line because they were one of the few who offered a single cabin with a balcony. As it turned out I was lucky enough to upgrade to a double cabin on my first cruise, and a deluxe double cabin on this cruise, which was wonderful. The extra space makes quite a difference - as a single I probably ...

This trip was recommended by a friend and we were more than pleased with everything. It was simply our best vacation ever. Scenic spoiled us royally with every experience. The cruise director personally looked after everything. The crew were amazing, the food, the excursions were personalized for our group only. There were 153 passengers, just the right size and we met people from around the ...
