Traveling with Australians is a whole lot more fun than 140 other Americans. The Aussies's attitudes toward life in general is refreshing - they know how to have fun. The Jewel was in excellent shape, the crew very attentive, and the shore excursions well chosen. Scenic is "all inclusive" never need to reach for a wallet or credit card. Scenic even provided us with a private limo for our transfer to our Amsterdam hotel at journey's end.
