It was recommended by our travel agent. We were not sure where to go and she thought this would be a good change. We especially enjoyed the music concert at the Palace Lichenstien.
The lunch at the oldest restaurant in Salzburg which dates back to the 1400's was a real treat.
We participated in the 35km bike ride along the Danube and that was truly special
Ship - very nice and ...
We chose Scenic after attending one of their local presentations and after extensive research. We were not disappointed. Their attention to detail and providing us with the best experience we have ever had, was exceptional. The crew working as a team did an amazing job in providing us quality comfort. After understanding the efforts of the captain, cruise director and crew to assure the cruise and ...
Did a Scenic cruise last year for my first river cruise and was totally impressed. Have over 25 ocean cruises in the past. When Scenic talks about all inclusive, there are no hidden surprises. After 15 days on the ship, my check out invoice was $0. We ate every meal, went on outstanding excursions every day with local guides, took advantage of completely open bar 24/7, sent out laundry, ...
Embarkation was moved to Breisach from Basal, but it was not a big inconvenience. The cruise was wonderful. It was our first river cruise and our expectations were exceeded in every area. The staff was phenomenal; the service superb. I can't think of anything more they could have done to make us feel special from the Captain, the Cruise Director, Reception, waiters, housekeeping....all. The ...
This is our second cruise on Scenic. We cruised on the Scenic Amber last year down the Danube and it was wonderful. This years cruise on the Jasper down the Rhine was very good BUT......... not as good as last year. Last year Scenic used their own buses for the entire cruise. This year the contracted out to local bus companies. The service was spotty. Some were very good and right on time, some ...
This was our first taste of river cruising and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We met many new friends on the cruise from different countries and hope to keep in touch. The Jasper ship was very comfortable and luxurious. Bathrooms were spacious and great water pressure and hot water! Our assigned butler for our suite was even able to provide a one time complimentary laundry service: picked up ...
We wanted a five star experience to celebrate our birthdays and wedding anniversary. The decor and rooms lived up to our expectations. Clean and modern designs. The staff overall were attentive and helpful.
What let the experience down was the food. It was not five star or near, at times the food was served cold or just warm not hot. Presentation of food could have been more imaginative ...
After believing that Scenic was a 5 star river cruise company we were very disappointed with the trip. The dinner on the first night took 2 1/2 hours - every food order was misidentified, hot soups were cold, entrees were cold, ice cream had melted - the worst dinner in my life. We complained and the timing of service improved but the overall food quality was mediocre, the size of the entree ...
Dear Alan999,
We are very sorry to hear that you found your Scenic cruise on board Scenic Jasper disappointing. The food and service you mention on board does not sound like the usual 5 star...
I have been on other ocean cruises & river cruises and this time chose Scenic as I was told it was premium quality and a step up from the other European river cruise companies.
So maybe my expectation was too high as so far this is no better than Gate One cruises which are about half the costing. The food is ok but nothing superior. The service is mediocre and could be improved. As an ...
I would highly recommend this cruise to others, especially in the 60+ age bracket. The only complaint I had was that the scrambled eggs at breakfast and some of the sauces had too much salt. Breakfast was easily overcome by ordering from the menu or having an omelet. This was a wonderful cruise. Our cruise director, Eric, did everything possible to ensure we had the best possible time. I also ...
