Great ship and crew; horrible company.
"The only way to get back to peak season was to book Antarctica Cruise only, but South Georgia was a priority for me, so I was stuck, and booked for the shoulder season departure (Scenic knew exactly what they were doing – many of the passengers on this sailing were rebookings and well, so Scenic got to charge more for shoulder season departure with captive customers).Scenic offered incentives to use my deposit towards future sailing, so I did that and booked an Arctic cruise for June 26, 2019 sailing...."Read More

Disappointment

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

beanlm
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

The service, food, cabins were all great. Totally disappointed in communication. Never received the next days schedule until 8-9 the night before. Even the next morning crew were not versed as to what the schedule would be. Totally unacceptable was our return flights. 1 1/2 days before departure we were told that our ship would dock at 9:00 and couldn't leave the ship until at least 9:30. We ...

The best of the best

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

My voyage aboard the Scenic Eclipse was nothing short of extraordinary. Embarking on the Circle Svalbard cruise, which covered the entire Spitzbergen Archipelago, surpassed my high expectations and even exceeded the memorable Charcot North Pole expedition I embarked upon the previous year. These two vessels, Scenic Eclipse and Charcot, now hold a special place in my heart. The suites on Scenic ...

Review for a Asia Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

I had terrible difficulty booking back-to-back trips with Scenic but managed to accomplish it after lots of tries deciphering pieces gleamed from various Scenic web sites. This was the second half of a circumnavigation of Japan, and I won’t repeat what I already said in that review (Learning experience 1). Our previous segment was very full so that staff were really spread thin running around and ...

Review for a Asia Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

I wanted to get an in depth visit to Japan and circumnavigate the country. While Japan did not disappoint, I question the choice of doing it on Scenic. We have had a fair amount of experience of luxury cruises on Regent Seven Seas, Crystal and Silversea. A real eye opener was realizing after a day or two that this would be more like a riverboat cruise than an ocean voyage. Scenic Eclipse is a ...

Somewhat disappointed and overpriced

Review for a Asia Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

id4elizabeth
10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We chose Scenic Eclipse to experience a 5-star luxury ocean cruise around Japan, based in large part on the rave reviews of their European River Cruises. Our 2-star experience began with the transfer at the airport. The Scenic "representative" told us (according to her list) we weren't supposed to be there for another 2 hours. She took care of another Scenic couple on our flight, putting them in ...

Very disappointed with entire cruise

Review for a U.S.A. Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Scenic has just started in the luxury cruise business and it shows. Rating Scenic with the "top tier" cruise lines, they come in dead last. Food was just so so, cabin was a nightmare, entertainment was bare bones, and most of the land tours were boring. Service could be good at times and the staff was friendly. Scenic's big claim to fame is the ship itself which is very modern and sleek with ...

Much Less Than Expected, Not Ready for Production, Not a Good Value. Don't go if you have ANY motion issues!

Review for a Pacific Coastal Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

KitteryMaine
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We had previously been on Scenic River cruises and were exceptionally pleased with every aspect of the trip. It was a true 5-star experience so we had high expectations for this ocean cruise. The ship can accommodate 200 passengers. On this cruise from San Diego to Vancouver, only 128 guests were aboard. BUT half of them were traveling for free since they were travel agents, so only about 60 ...

Chose for a special birthday as liked the look and size of vessel when launched. The itinerary was very different and date worked well for us. all travel arrangements worked well and nice hotel overnight in Panama.Embarkation was very quick and shown straight to superb suite. Only one disappointment in cabin - the terrible and dangerous configuration of wardrobe door with bathroom door. Rest of ...

Antarctica on Scenic was a Dream!!

Review for a South America Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

After a lot of research Scenic Eclipse was our choice because of the luxury and amenities offered and included. Cruise started off rough when we were not included in priority boarding, so we were not feeling so go about things to come, But once on board, things were looking up when we met our Butler Vladimir. He started out working to find out what we needed and our likes. Vladimir was ...

Even better than we expected

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Scenic Eclipse

maraerna
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

The only way to see Antarctica is by boat and we chose this cruise because it was all-inclusive. It was our first cruise and we didn't want the stress of tipping etc. There were other stresses such as booking restaurants at the beginning which could have caught out us rookies - but the person who did our check-in tipped me the wink. All the staff were amazing. And the Discovery Team was ...
