In choosing Scenic Cruises all our research was worth it, and so much more. We traveled on the Scenic Jade on the Jewels of Europe with Prague and Paris. Room the Junior Balcony Suite. Being cheeky I was going to elaborate on my many problems on our cruise. Firstly I put on 4kg as I couldn’t stop eating the food. The food was buffet and off a menu. If you wanted more, get more.
You basically ...
Everything about this cruise from Paris - Honfleur - Paris was excellent, with the exception of the food at dinner.
Superb staff that are welcoming, efficient, kind and always ready to offer assistance. Public areas, cabin and bathroom very well designed for space and comfort. Thoughtful amenities in the cabins such as hiking sticks and water bottles. Good entertainment offering on the cabin ...
We chose scenic because it was all inclusive. We found that the little things that make a 5 star was lacking.
First, the wifi was horrible. The TV stations options were poor. There are times on the trip that you actually do use the tv and WiFi, so zip it.
Dinner food was ok, we have had better meals on oceana and at specialty dining on the bigl ships. They fell short here.
The wine ...
Great river cruise but made exceptionally so by the brilliant staff who couldn't do enough for us. The ship was spotless. We were spoilt by the staff who catered to our every whim. Alex was the Hotel Manager - he was the BEST!!! He looked after me (I'm vegan and partially disabled) and he gave me 5 star treatment every night. He treated everyone with a smile and courtesy and made us all feel ...
A perfect blend of quaint villages along the Moselle with larger cities like Düsseldorf and Koblenz. We loved the variety of excursions and it was hard to choose between wine tastings and castle tours. We enjoyed the Scenic exclusive tours of the Rastatt palace concert and Hockenheimer F1 insider. Local guides were fantastic, knowledgeable humorous and considerate.
On board the variety of food ...
We have travelled with Scenic previously and found them to be excellent - hence choosing them again for our Europenan adventure.
The special inclusions Scenic have are second to none, providing opportunities for many different experiences - from private piano recitals in a castle, followed by a wonderful meal, to hiking through vineyards, and onboard musical recitals with world class ...
We have recently returned from our eighth Scenic river cruise (some we have done twice) and again we went with high expectations. Scenic not only lived up to our expectations but exceeded them as they always have on all our cruises. What a wonderful cruise, the ship is beautiful, the food wonderful, staff were fantastic and we were looked after extremely well. We chose this cruise again as last ...
After being very warmly welcomed by front desk staff, we started to learn about river cruising. Our cabin was very comfortable (Deluxe Balcony on Diamond Deck) with all the amenities you could ever want. Lots of on-screen entertainment options, so we re-watched some Bond films over the evenings.
On Scenic Jasper, the Crystal Dining Room is the only actual dining room. Portobello’s is a small ...
We chose Scenic as we had not travelled with them before and we had heard great reviews from previous travellers.
Food and staff on the Ruby were excellent. We missed specialist dining in designated restaurant - seems to have been cut out.
Lack of entertainment in evenings was very disappointing. There was a piano on the ship, it was never played. No library or games area for wet day ...
Let me give the positives first
1. ship is old and beautifully maintained
2. Our deluxe balcony suite was comfortable and spotless. Plenty of closet and drawers, safe and small refrigerator which was stocked with beverages and a few snacks. Soaps, and hair products are in large containers. Shower was delightful with multiple shower heads. We enjoyed the balcony chairs. Top deck was ...
