Scenic River Scenic Crystal River Cruises Reviews

Due to high water levels we started our cruise on the Scenic Ruby from Budapest. We joined the Scenic Crystal in Rudesheim. We we were therefore able to compare the two ships. Ruby is older but basically the same as Crystal except Crystal has Deluxe Balcony rooms which we had booked. The Ruby was in better condition than Crystal. Crystal had ripped and stained carpets. We found the staff, ...

We chose Scenic for their all inclusive policy and service rating. This did not disappoint. There was literally no reason to get your credit card or cash out during the cruise, except for shopping of course. Of course there is a charge for the spa but I literally didn't have time for this. The staff on the ships are wonderful. I can't say enough about them. You are certainly waited on. We were ...

We chose Scenic as we were looking for a cruise that was 100% all inclusive. It turned out to be the right decision as we never once had to pull out our wallet. The only additional cost was a massage! Scenic lived up to everything we expected. Rooms were excellent and the addition of a small balcony was great on mornings when we wanted room service rather than eating at the restaurant. ...

We chose this cruise to get a good overview of the countries along the upper Danube. We arrived in Budapest a day prior to embarkation, in order to have more time to explore the city. We stayed at the Marriott, which is the preferred hotel for Scenic. We were picked up at the airport and transferred to the hotel, and then picked up at the hotel and driven to the Crystal. Everything went so ...

Our cruise director was fantastic. She did her very best to resolve problems and kept a very positive attitude throughout the entire trip. We did not really appreciate changing ships after four days, without being told at the beginning not to unpack all our clothes. Communication would have been appreciated. Loved the electric bikes. Disappointed one tour was cancelled. Loved the opera and ...

Friends past experience had me yearning to sail on Scenic having already done one riverboat cruise on Avalon As expected Scenic provided a five star experience. Nothing was too much trouble and everything ran like clockwork. The dining and bar staff were exceptional as was the young lady who cleaned our room We sailed from Budapest to Amsterdam for 15 days. My only complaint and this is ...

On advise from our travel agent and excellent reviews we decided to travel through Europe on a river purpose built vessel and experience this fantastic trip ourselves , booked a year in advance to secure a cabin on deck 3 ,before the actual cruise we booked through Scenic into the Marriott ( outstanding hotel) and the view on the Danube river to give us enough time to explore the city for a ...

Saw the cruise advertised, and I liked what I saw in the advertisement. It proved to be an accurate advertisement. The ship was spotless. Food, for the most part, was varied. Food servers were a delight! They were accomodating and friendly. The director, Nicola, was a hoot! He was entertaining, and kept us up to date on all the daily happenings. Enjoyed his jokes at the end of all his ...

My wife and I were looking to take a river cruise and this cruise was recommended by our travel agent - Minnie Verburg at Marlin Travel Agency, Belleville. We flew from Toronto to Prague and spent 3 days there before traveling by bus to Nuremberg. Our tour guide Marten gave us a very informative overview of the city. When we arrived at the ship embarkation was very smooth. The cruise director was ...

First cruise on a river & we were told that the Rhine was the most scenic. Other than my comments under cabin, the only other issue I had was the entertainment on the night we had an accordion player & guitar player - the quality of which were poor & laughable. The violin player was excellent & fitted well with the cruising. It would have been nice if the entertainment generally ...
