River Cruises Reviews

have been cruising the mississippi with american queen steamboat company and had a great time , I figured that American cruiseline would be as nice with same type of food and a beautiful ship as well. The food was like cafeteria meals, No great choices , breakfast was a small table with two types of pastries, with a limited menu ,Dinners and lunch were nothing to talk about.Lots of pork ...

My husband and I recently took the Viking Romantic Danube cruise on the Atla from Nuremburg to Budapest with a group of friends. The small ship was satisfactory, but it was too cold in November to use the third deck for exercise, games, or viewing. Food and staff were adequate. The included morning excursions were enjoyable with excellent local guides. For those who don’t like to shop, there ...

Was very excited to do this river cruise. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When I booked it, assured family member's life threatening food allergy was not a problem and she would be safe. When boarded, the cruise manager, the house manager, the chef and the wait staff all assured us they were aware of the serious allergy and the issues of cross contamination, especially since their ...

During our river cruise we were able to travel from ...

We had never been on a cruise but heard that Scenic was one of the leaders for river cruises and we had always wanted to go to Myanmar so it seemed a perfect combination. We thought that we would try our the company with a view to doing some serious European river cruising in the future. We'd done a lot of independent travel all over Asia and love it. Frankly we felt that the tour was beefed up ...

Went on the cruise because it fit our timeframe and part of group had free cruise because last years cruise couldn't move because of high water and they were given another cruise for free. Only two groups of Americans on the cruise 11 people--they are not prepared for English speakers very well at all. We had to ask for all news and daily stops and maps in English. They were not automatically ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and based upon Vikings advertising. We have been on about a dozen river boat and this was the most disappointing. First, while the were breakfasts were well done, both lunch and dinners were not only limited in selection, but also below par, quality-wise. In 30 years of travel, only once before did I return an entrée. On this cruise, I did so ...

This cruise was a great disappointment. We only sailed 3 out of 7 days! The first delay was because of river conditions. No other explanation. We were bused to see the sites. The next delay was because the lock operators were on strike. Not Vikings fault and it only meant a delay of 3-4 hours. The next delay was amazing. Many passengers had gone on an excursion. We were to meet them downriver ...

Wanted a local, small river cruse for personal service. I'm 91 and the Snake River cruse was on my bucket list. Cruse line changed my early arrival hotel which was right across the street from the ship to a hotel that was over 20 miles away. That hotel had no restaurant and we had to have sandwiches delivered for dinner. I had to get a cab to the ship. Cruse line was to provide baggage transfer. ...

I booked the Elbe Princess very early as thought they had solved the low water problem. Sadly it has not. The Moldau Canal is closed and we were advised we would board outside Prague. This was not true. On arrival we were taken for 2 nights to the awful Hilton conference hotel on the outskirts of Prague with no prior warning. We finally boarded in Dresden. Due to the poor organisation of the ...
