Boat: Jasper: Scenic Luxury River Cruise (Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam) a 5 star cruise!
I want to know, who made up the daily menus?
No one that is familiar with fine cuisine.
Food will make or break a company. Mess up with food, and repeat customers will not return. This company needs hire a couple of trained Chefs to make up a decent modern menu and then train the kitchen staff ...
After being very warmly welcomed by front desk staff, we started to learn about river cruising. Our cabin was very comfortable (Deluxe Balcony on Diamond Deck) with all the amenities you could ever want. Lots of on-screen entertainment options, so we re-watched some Bond films over the evenings.
On Scenic Jasper, the Crystal Dining Room is the only actual dining room. Portobello’s is a small ...
The cruise from Budapest to Nuremburg could not have been better. The boat, crew, meals & wine, were all superb and good value. The wines were all from the region and were matched to the meals. The excursions were very well arranged and included concerts in palaces and walking tours. Three meals a day are included on the boat with one in a restaurant on the day visit to Vienna. Entertainment was ...
A beautiful boat cruising to some great places .
The food is excellent , the staff are friendly and always helpful .
We couldn't fault the food quality ,the portions at first seemed small but were actually perfect,the captains table was a highlight ,the Italian restaurant less so ,quite big portions and not as good as the main restaurant ,but again the staff were great.
The wines on the ...
Our friends whom have been on several other scenic cruises including this one highly recommended it to us and we will also recommend it others. The staff was friendly and helpful in a genuine way, not forced. Katerina was a lot of fun, we appreciated Hunor’s brilliant wit. We especially enjoyed Bagus, Hillman and Madea. They got to know us quickly and our preferences. Such nice men! The ...
We sailed on Scenic Jasper from Budapest to Amsterdam in late May 2023.
This was our first river cruise and first experience with Scenic after having taken numerous ocean cruises with many different cruise lines.
We have read numerous Cruise Critic reviews and note that prior to COVID, Scenic received mostly positive 5-star reviews, including from many friends who had previously sailed with ...
Saved up for a once in a lifetime river cruise to have it cut short by getting Covid. The ship is very nice the staff are also very nice however they need to prioritize their customers health. There were no covid protocols as a matter of fact they said Covid was no longer an issue but if you self tested positive you would have to quarantine for 5 days so the implication was (don't test). From day ...
We sailed from Budapest to Amsterdam on Scenic Jasper departing April 24, 2023. We were very excited about our first river cruise. It was a lovely experience. However, we didn't feel Scenic lived up to all of the hype it gets as a 5-Star cruise line. I'm not sure what kind of high tech gadgets they're talking about having. They didn't even have USB outlets in the cabins. The app we used on our ...
Always wanted to see Eastern Europe
Scenic has always provided order of service and value for money. We are all cruises. This was our first cruise with Scenic and it won’t be our last outstanding value for money. Good staff and a good ship. The offboard excursions were very entertaining and very eye-opening. Most of the European Eastern Block countries were X Communist and the tours and guys ...
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 ...
