Sail Date: Mar 2017

My husband and I wanted to see Germany, Amsterdam and Budapest. I wanted a luxury ship that would attend to all my needs. I am blind and I appreciate the extra services we received as we booked one of the two largest suites on the ship. I had everything I needed to make this an excellent vacation. Our butler, Ratko Adjic went above and beyond for me. From morning cappiciinos to drawing my bath in the evening I was well treated. Dinner with the captain was marvelous. This cruise was all inclusive, alcohol, excursions and gratuities.

The excursions were very well planned in each town. We were able to get a taste of the city and in two towns we had private concerts. It was fabulous. Richard the cruise director did a great job planning for our enjoyment.

They never requested a credit card! We will travel with Scenic in 2020, Bardeaux to Bardeaux. Can't wait!

Cabin Review

Cabin Royal Panaramic Suite

Amazing suite, this suite is one of two at the aft of the ship. Floor to ceiling windows that overlook the river. Powder room separate from the bathroom. The bathroom was huge, including a huge soaking tub and a very large shower with great acoustics for singing in the shower. The suite was 475 square feet. A large seating area for entertaining and the bed area is quite large. Daily stocked mini bar with the drinks we preferred, Moët Champagne was always there for me.
