Sail Date: Jun 2016

We chose this cruise and Scenic because we believed that Scenic were the number 1 River Cruise providers. We expected to have a 20 minute journey to the ship but it ended up driving for 3 hours. The guide on the coach had no information as to why we were embarking at a different port. It turned out the ship was docked and could not move because of high water levels. However the lack of communication and information was very poor and many guests were left angry. When asked specific questions at the embarkation meeting we were not given a specific answer.

The first trip was to Nuremberg, which should have been a 20 minute drive, but took 3 hours each way which was tiring.

An e mail from Scenic informed me that we could be stranded for 4 days. However it turned out that we could sail on the Tuesday night but had to sail back to our second destination but we weren't complaining

Cabin Review

Although on the small side the cabin and bathroom were nice and kept very clean
