Scenic Ocean Cruise Reviews

What a beautiful ship, with top class chefs & customer service second to none. The choice and quality of food in the different restaurants was amazing. Our cabin was very comfortable and clean. However what ruined our holiday was renovation works on the decks for 11/19 of our holiday days. Outside areas were closed, there was distracting noise, workmen moving around the boat, dust and dirt, ...

A very mixed experience. Our first Scenic cruise but we have been on more than a hundred cruises from the large ship to luxury and expedition cruises. The Scenic prior to cruise experience was unusual, sometime after booking Scenic sent an online medical questionnaire to be completed by your doctor which I did not wish to ask my doctor to do, on pushing back with Scenic, they seemed okay with ...

Mixed feeling about Scenic Cruises. We found the crew to be exceptionally nice, helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. But the ship itself is less than luxurious. We had a Grand Deluxe Veranda Suite which was very roomy but the bathroom had no sink, it was a shelf which made it impossible to properly wash and clean teeth. This was the number one thing that spoilt the cruise. Not really luxury ...

My recent voyage of discovery to Antarctica, South Georgia, and Falkland Islands on Eclipse 1 with my husband (John) is nothing but praise. We were welcomed on board by the Captain. Followed through into the lounge area where we met the Restaurant Manager who remembered us from a previous cruise. We were introduced to many crew. After a welcoming drink and made to feel special, it was time to ...

Review Beyond the Antarctic Circle Scenic Eclipse II January 6-22, 2024 We just returned from one of the most spectacular trips of our lives. Going to Antarctica was not on our agenda, but when a friend suggested we join them, we jumped in, and we are so glad we did. First, a note about the cruise company and the ship. We have never sailed with Scenic Cruises before. As an ...

It has been a lifelong dream to visit Antartica. We studied many other cruise lines for this experience and decided on Scenic as for the money it was the best value overall. This was our first luxury cruise and we really enjoyed the all inclusive approach to cruising. This ship is more of an expedition yacht and designed for a small group experience (200 or less). This made for a more relaxed ...

I went on this cruise a bit nervous and hesitant. It was my Husband's dream and I went along. I LOVED it! The ship is amazing, the crew is amazing, the food is amazing and the destinations and experiences are amazing! The ship is beautiful aesthetically, it is also fast and smooth. The crew from the Captain down is incredibly enthusiastic and friendly. The Discovery team is a stroke of ...

The service, food, cabins were all great. Totally disappointed in communication. Never received the next days schedule until 8-9 the night before. Even the next morning crew were not versed as to what the schedule would be. Totally unacceptable was our return flights. 1 1/2 days before departure we were told that our ship would dock at 9:00 and couldn't leave the ship until at least 9:30. We ...

We choose this cruise as an easy way to experience Iceland. But by the time we set off we had had so much difficulty dealing with the Scenic Office Team that we wished we had never booked. Difficulties with travel arrangements, officious medical reports and ridiculous recommendations for packing lists appeared to multiply as time went by. No help given just more problems for us to deal with. This ...

We did a river cruise with Scenic several years ago. The trip was so enjoyable, we did not hesitate to sign up with this company again. Scenic Eclipse II lived up to our expectations. Of course there was a little thing here or there but it is a newer boat with newer crew and overall, we cannot give less than 5. We had a simple suite that was roomy and comfortable. The bed was awesome and ...
