Prague to Europe Senior Cruises Reviews

Based on our research, firsthand testimonials and travel agent recommendations, we chose Avalon. So, expectations were high. Well, this trip exceeded anything we could have dreamed of. Our trip was packaged with our travel agent through Avalon/Globus. This included the flights, transfers, accommodation (2 nights pre cruise in Prague) and on board gratuities... Avalon rep greeted us at the ...

We wanted to see historic Europe in a guided carefree way. The actual cruise and destinations were awesome. We seen so much history and met some wonderful interesting people. Emerald really did a good job organizing the itinerary. However there was so much coughing and people that were very sick. The ambulance came to the ship 5 times and took people away. My wife contracted pneumonia and is still ...

Perfect time of the year to experience a river cruise. Not to hot and not to cool. Although the weather person got it all wrong. It was incredible weather in the mid 20's to highs of 32 Celsius, for the complete trip. Prague is incredible, 4 days was not enough, could have spent more time . This is one beautiful city that is hard to describe, one has to experience it first hand to get a ...

We were going to London for a family wedding chose this Emerald cruise mostly due to the dates and their solo cabins. The cruise included free airfare and since we were going to London, Emerald booked us flights to London rather than Prague, several days earlier, without any additional fees. We booked our own flight to Prague and still got the included transfer to the hotel. ...

Some friends suggested this cruise and since I had never river cruised before I thought I give it a shot. The cruise staff was exceptional and made the trip delightful. My program director Szabe Borberly was outstanding and salvaged the trip for us. I score the cruise a solid 9 as many other cruise companies were at the same ports and it created some congestion with our daily tours. I consider ...

Friends of mine chose this cruise. They had also never cruised on Scenic. This was my third river cruise, the other two were with a competitor. Overall, an okay cruise, and that's all. Some great staff though mostly in the lounge. I don't understand at all what the butler does or how he differs from a cabin steward, or room service. I called him twice and he referred me elsewhere both ...

We had sailed Emerald before and rated it highly, so when we decided on the Danube they were our #1 choice. It’s an attractive well maintained ship with plenty of crew. The weather wasn’t so great so the top deck got little use, but that’s April in Europe. The pre cruise stay in Prague was really good, a very nice and helpful tour director and a comfortable hotel (Majestic Plaza). Well organised ...

Had to call repeatedly to get travel documents. long wait times on phone. representative said they would help but no action was taken. All email responses say they will get back to me in 3 – 5 business days. finally got someone to help. could never contact scenic before cruise. 8/16 received email regarding low water – will have to change ships. Itinerary will not be affected. Change ships ...

We are experienced river cruisers and usually love the on board experience, our cruise on the Sky was the opposite. We transferred from the Star due to low water levels and the experience could not have been more different. The ship wasn't full but the noise levels in the restaurant were intolerable. Groups of younger Americans competed to see who could make the most noise, including whooping ...

We choose because of going with VBT bike tours. We were treated well by the cruise staff and VBT leaders. Layout of cabin perfect. Beautiful room and panoramic picture window. Great location new to us. Weather surprisingly perfect. Coffee excellent. Appreciate free water bottles in room and on leaving ship. Spacious storage of cabin. Best layout of a cabin on a cruise we have ever had. Good ...
