Excellent service from Scenic. All was included: drinks, tips etc, so although it seemed expensive, there was nothing else to pay. There were well organised excursions, with consideration for those with walking problems. They did arrange special itineraries with less walking when necessary. There was a very helpful cruise director, with a good sense of humour. We have been with this company before and found them excellent. The food is good with choices and pleasant atmosphere. The staff are well trained and cheerful, seeming to enjoy their work. They do offer a choice of UK airports, but did not allow enough time for the connection in Paris on the return journey and we only just made the flight. There was not as much to see in this area as in some others, e.g. the Rhine and the Danube and the ship did not go far from Bordeaux, but it was very pleasant.
