We recently took a Scenic Danube cruise, the water levels on the Danube were low as the industry states, the operators and travel agents don't want to discuss your river cruise could end up as a bus tour, an expensive bus tour. We spent about 20 hours on buses which shortened our visits to each city. We only had one day on the river cruising the rest was spent on buses. Scenic was a long way from a luxury cruise. The best part of the cruise were the local tour guides.
FOOD
The food was certainly not 5 star, it was buffet average food.
We had a great cabin the royal panoramic suite, unfortunately staff below us were smoking and laughing all night so we had little sleep some nights. We choose these rooms to be able to have spectacular views from our room, being parked next to other River boats all we saw was the inside of other boats.
