We are retired & have cruised with many lines, many times. The Scenic Experience is complete - air, transfers, alcohol(even in the room refrigerators), gratuities, excursions, whisperers, personalized GPS, & motorized bikes anytime. Nikola, the tour director was fabulous & the staff truly seemed to enjoy not only the passengers but each other & their jobs. This is not to say that it was perfect. Some of the lunch buffet was lukewarm & last year, on the Paris-Nice trip with the same line the trip was well below this level in itinerary, staff & food. We have taken the cruise from Budapest - Amsterdam & now from Amsterdam - Budapest twice with the same company & will do it again in a few years. It was wonderful. Be careful of the date you choose as the Rhine & Danube can flood in the spring & the ship can't get through a lock or under a bridge & the cruise itinerary goes out the window. Caveat - I understand that the refunds for a ruined cruise are under dispute in a class action suit.
