Budapest Senior Cruises Reviews

If anyone is thinking about a VIKING river cruise please take note, Dont do it !! Consider AMA, we paid £1k less and it was FABULOUS. We have just wasted £7k on the worst cruise ive ever been on. Dont pay extra for a balcony you cannot use it. There is always a boat docked next door and you cannot use it. The cleaner comes into your cabin when you are having Breakfast, for all you will be out all ...

It was not really supposed to have been me on this cruise, originally. My mother had a gentleman-friend, and they were going to see Europe together, but he went to an ill-advised Christmas party in 2021 and died of COVID complications a few months later. Nevertheless, Mom had always wanted to do this cruise, and I love Central Europe, so she brought me along instead. In the age of ubiquitous ...

We did the Southeastern European cruise with a post cruise in Istanbul on AmaVerde in April 17th. We did the Danube cruise with Ama before and we liked it and that is why we did this one with them as well. We were recommending and even encouraging others to go on AMA. It was a big disappointment as far as the cabin accommodations and food. The cabin had a funky smell like there's mold because ...

Although the staff were very nice & mostly tried their best, the priority is for Scenic's needs -passengers and their requests are very low on the list.! They have an inflexible attitude toward problems or suggestions & suffer a lack any empathy & the motto seems to be ' don't provide unless it's asked for several times first' Our cabin was missing items which took several requests to ...

8 close friends had originally booked this tour in late 2020. The Pandemic pushed it, and it took two years to finally sail. Veterans of many ocean cruises, this was our first river cruise. The Danube Explorer- Passau to Budapest with 3 added days in Prague and 3 more in Budapest. We had high expectations. A few were met. Many weren’t. I have to let you know, we are NOT picky travelers. As long ...

We departed Phoenix,AZ on July 12, 2022, bound for a Viking Grand European River Cruise boarding in Budapest, Hungry on the Viking Aegir. We are very experienced cruisers with 9 Viking cruises for myself and 12 for my spouse. Upon arrival we were greeted by Viking representative at the Budapest airport and boarded a bus telling us they had called the ship, and someone would be there to greet us. ...

A few years ago my wife and I embarked on a couple of River Cruises on the Nile in Egypt. The boats were old and in need of some updating but nevertheless very clean with excellent staff and food. We thoroughly enjoyed these cruises which truly were river cruises where for most days we sat on the sun deck watching the excellent scenery pass slowly by. My wife though had always wanted to cruise the ...

Let me just get this out of the way: The Viking customer service reps on the phone are the WORST that I've ever dealt with. If it wasn't for their actual "front line" workers on the cruise itself, I would have given Viking 0 stars if I could. The CSR on the phone either didn't know their own policies, or they were actually just trying to say anything to get our money. We were traveling with an ...

We chose this tour specifically to visit Vienna and the Christmas Markets. Neither of which were to be. Yes, we understand that Austria closed their borders and certain German states canceled their Christmas markets but Viking was unwilling to allow us to cancel our tour and instead referred us to the travel protection insurance company which of course denied our request as we did not have an ...

Extension in Prague was great, wonderful city but the Marriott they booked us at was the worst Marriott we ever stayed at. First there was construction noise all day, when we complained to the front desk the woman said nothing she could do. Our view was of a lower roof top...oh and the bar did not know how to make a Shirley Temple or apparently anything except a Mai Tai, the drink of the day ...
