Budapest Scenic River Scenic Ruby Cruise Reviews

My wife and I wanted to return to Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna and Scenic offered this ideal river cruise. This was our first one with Scenic and truly every aspect of the cruise was All Inclusive. The attention of the crew was outstanding and amazingly quickly many of them named us. The cabin was extremely well appointed and for us the availability of a table for two in the restaurant ...

We chose this short cruise as a taster for river cruising having spent many outstanding holidays on ocean cruises. The crew were excellent. However, the Scenic Ruby built in 2009 and updated in 2019 is at best a 4 star ship. The decor is a matter of personal taste, so cannot objectively be criticised, however our panorama suite at £1,500 per night... was a huge disappointment. No amount of ...

I have always wanted to try a river cruise because I have always travelled on ocean cruises. I liked the smaller amount of people, the ports were exquisite, you could see land on both sides of the ship always, no rocking of the boat, the excursions were good except for one where we could not understand our guide. The cons were there was not a lot of choice as far as food, the rooms are small ...

Best reviews, best TRUE all-inclusive, best dates, best location stops and tours, amazing cabin. The staff is second to none. BBQ on deck, personal service, incredible food and beverages, informative and small-town tours... we will be back many time! The ship is amazing, clean and well laid-out. Amazing and varied gourmet meals, well organized tours to very special destinations. The ...

Chose this cruise to see the scenery, castles, and towns as we cruised along the Danube and the Rhine and the fact we would not have to pack for all 15 days. Actually we only cruised 1 day total in the daytime, the rest was a series of long bus trips, 3 ship changes and a few night in hotels and some cruising at night. The Ruby was the last ship but no space to enter all 3. This was all due to ...

We chose this cruise because we were told it was all inclusive and fantastic. Our first five days were pretty good but we didn’t know that the river levels were an issue and we asked every day but no one would tell us anything finally we were told one night before dinner that the ship could no longer navigate the water. We were given three choices with no real plans to either of them. We were ...

Our first river cruise, found Scenic to offer everything we wanted, rooms with full balconies, all inclusive price including meals, tours, entertainment, alcholic beverages. The tours were first class in every way, just fabulous, extremely well organized and coordinated. enjoyed every moment of every tour Once on the cruise we found this was all true, no restrictions whatsoever, and we also ...

1/ We chose this cruise because we felt it would be interesting to see the scenery from the boat as we cruised down the Danube——however, the problem was that we actually spent very little time looking at the scenery since we were off the boat much of the time—-that was a disappointment —- 2/ The cruise was too structured——-because of the size of the ship there were fewer options—for ...

Thought it might be good from past cruises with scenic but very disappointing. Our panorama suite was not as expected from literature and video. Definitely not value for money. The table and chairs were not suitable for eating a room service meal. The balcony was no bigger than those on ordinary rooms. The noise from the engines kept you awake and the vibration made everything move, rattle, tinkle ...

Having been on Nuremberg to Amsterdam part of Rhine (with Scenic) we wanted to complete Nuremberg to Budapest which included part of Danube. The ship, the service, crew & quality of food & drinks where first class. We made some good friends & enjoyed some lively nights aboard. We found the scenery not as attractive as the previous years Duoro trip ( with Scenic) & prefered the smaller trips ...
