Scenic River Cruises Reviews

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 ...

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 they are one of the few that are genuinely all inclusive. Alcohol flows all day, as does food and all gratuities are covered by Scenic. You really don’t spend a cent from the time you step on board, unless you choose to shop in the towns. This aspect was definitely as advertised. The staff were amazing in all aspects, faultless in fact. The excursions ran smoothly thanks ...

I was visiting the UK to wind up my business and to catch up with family and friends. This particular cruise fitted with my schedule. I chose Scenic because they seem to offer a more luxurious. However I had some difficulty in completing my booking online and had to use the help of Flight Centre to Complete the booking. Initially Scenic informed me that the disembarkation was on the 27th June at ...

A beautiful boat cruising to some great places . The food is excellent , the staff are friendly and always helpful . We couldn't fault the food quality ,the portions at first seemed small but were actually perfect,the captains table was a highlight ,the Italian restaurant less so ,quite big portions and not as good as the main restaurant ,but again the staff were great. The wines on the ...

We have cruised with Scenic several times over the years and our views maybe influenced by better times. That said we thoroughly enjoyed this trip but there were definite signs of "economising" and unless they careful they will just become one of the pack. Pros - Service was generally good although at times restaurant staff showed signs of inexperience. The onboard entertainment was excellent ...

Very interested in learning more about French wines, having a luxe experience and taking our first river cruise, the 11 Day Bordeaux trip on the Diamond jumped out at us. We paid in full over a year prior to sailing and were expecting a 5 star experience. The trip fell a bit short of exceptions. First of all, the entire crew was five star, headlined by Yvonne, cruise director, Miguel, assistant ...

Before the cruise, whenever we called, the people were always friendly and helpful. We told them we're staying an extra 3 nights in Zurich, but they couldn't take us to the hotel because it's wasn't a partner hotel, which is fair enough. But they also couldn't take us to a partner hotel and let us walk to our hotel. They also wouldn't take us to the Zurich airport unless we had a flight AND we ...

We sailed from Budapest to Amsterdam on Scenic Jasper departing April 24, 2023. We were very excited about our first river cruise. It was a lovely experience. However, we didn't feel Scenic lived up to all of the hype it gets as a 5-Star cruise line. I'm not sure what kind of high tech gadgets they're talking about having. They didn't even have USB outlets in the cabins. The app we used on our ...
