Scenic River Scenic Crystal Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food to Europe - River

Scenic provide good value if you are looking for average and you’re travelling on a budget. If you’re looking for quality and pay for a premium- it’s disappointing. The notion of quality premium wines is a joke. As for food - it was mixed - we had to jump on the Scenic Ruby after flooding on the Danube and their food was excellent. The food on the Scenic Crystal was not good - 5 meals were ...

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 ...

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 ...

Having cruised on the Rhine and Danube previously we wanted another experience River Cruising in Europe so we chose the Moselle cruise which we found to be an excellent choice. The scenery along the Moselle was spectacular and Scenic Crystal made our experience most enjoyable. The Stops or destinations along the Rivers were well planned and Excursions off the boat were very well planned. The ...

This was a nostalgic visit to places we had already visited and were familiar with. The cruise was sold to us as being of superior quality, but at a fantastic price. On two evenings at dinner our order was taken quite quickly, but we waited more than an hour and half to receive our main course. I indicated the problem to the hotel manager, Bogdan, on the first occasion, but the situation was ...

We decided on Scenic based on our friends’ recommendation and it did not disappoint! It was all inclusive which meant we didn’t have to worry about any additional payments. The best thing about Scenic cruises is the quality of service, food and drinks. The staff looked after us so well that we felt like royalty! We also looked forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner every day! The only unfortunate ...

We chose Scenic for their all inclusive policy and service rating. This did not disappoint. There was literally no reason to get your credit card or cash out during the cruise, except for shopping of course. Of course there is a charge for the spa but I literally didn't have time for this. The staff on the ships are wonderful. I can't say enough about them. You are certainly waited on. We were ...

This was our first cruise with Scenic, having been influenced by their claim to provide “Luxury cruising” and wishing to enjoy a little more pampering. Not being wedded to any cruise line in particular, I do feel able to make comparisons with other companies, so let’s get started: BOOKING Booking our cruise was quick and easy. No surprise there, it’s always easier to gain attention when ...

This was my first river cruise and won’t be my last. Had a wonderful experience on the Scenic Crystal. Wonderful staff, great excursions, food was outstanding. We came with a group of 18. Couldn’t have been a better way to travel with this many people. We had 160 people on our boat but never felt crowded. Plenty of space to accommodate our group.They had such a nice variety of excursions. Always ...

My wife and I booked this trip almost one year in advance. We wanted to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary in a different way. We travelled alone. We arrived in Budapest 2 days prior the cruise departure so we could tour the city on our own. We had no problem with the embarkation although we found out the day before departure that we were on a different ship. At first we were to be on ...
