We choose scenic because it was all inclusive, ie. tips, tours, alcoholic beverages. The food, service, staterooms and overall attentiveness was unparalleled. We had a balcony suite and it was perfect. Loved the glass windows that moved up and down. Variety of food was first class. Never boring. Absolutely anything you wanted at any time. I've never had a more pleasant and attentive staff wherever I've traveled.
Only slightly negative aspect was that I would have preferred more 'cruise time' instead of some of the tours. All were good and interesting but some took too much time. Of course we had the option of just staying on the boat.
All senior staff on boat were very accommodating and open with their time. Variety of menu choices was outstanding. Being invited to the two exclusive restaurants on board was a treat. Cleanliness of facilities and friendliness of staff was outstanding.
Plenty of room. Great butler service and cabin attendant. Couldn't have been cleaner.
