We picked Scenic for a few reasons. Good ratings for the cruise line. We liked the itinerary. Would have been better ratings from us if we had been able to stay on the ship we had booked. This alternate ship (the Pearl)had a wonderful crew.
The crew on the 2nd ship seemed to find us an inconvenience. This is understandable since it was inconvenient for us as well. We were required to change ships for one night due to the low water levels in the Danube. I can't imagine all the extra work that means for the crew.
The cruise director (Richard) was great.
We switched cabins - in Nuremberg - preferred the 2nd cabin (which was the sister ship to the one we were SUPPOSED to be on. Cabin #2 much nicer! too bad we weren't able to get it the whole time (as originally planned)
