Classic Christmas Markets: a Lump of Coal

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on River Queen

After a wonderful experience with Uniworld’s Burgundy and Provence cruise five years ago I was terribly disappointed in their performance this time around with the Classic Christmas Markets cruise. While I understand that inclement weather conditions are outside anyone’s control, Uniworld did a very poor job of contingency planning. We were provided information as to the status of our itinerary ...

Cruise Termed 7 days into the 14 day trip

None of the experience with the ship, shore excursions or food can make up for having the 14 day cruise planned from Budapest to Amsterdam terminated after 7 days and then being left in an unplanned city with no assistance The Danube had been rising over the first few days and then at dinner on day 5 we were told the cruise would end 36 hours later in Passau, we were all to vacate the ship by 8 am ...

Extremely Disappointed on Scenic

We heard Scenic offered a level of luxury and service that just did not deliver. We selected this cruise due to the itinerary and timeframe. Their guide communication system just flat out does not work but they insisted on continuing to use it. This was very frustrating and wasted considerable time. They need to go back to the VOX system used by other cruise lines. The excursions were very ...

We booked the top level cat 7 because we wanted it to be special even though it was expensive, almost twice as much as the lower levels. The water was low on the river and caused the cruise to turn into a BUS trip. Tauck did a terrible job of handling this. For the first six days they bussed us from place to place, packing and unpacking several times. While on the "BUS excursion" the food was ...

I have cruised with Celebrity Cruise Lines for many cruises and this one ranks as the worst one ever. On this cruise the Blu restaurant was disgusting, typically in Blu the service is excellent especially at breakfast time with someone always going around with coffee and someone else with pastries but not on this cruise we always had to ask for more coffee and was only offered pastries twice most ...

It started to go wrong on the second evening at dinner. Three people on my table had the lamb which came with shards of bone in each mouthful. The Maitre D was not bothered. The cruise became steadily worse. We were never offered coffee after dinner. In Lisbon the whole of my coach asked for the tour to be ended early by taking us back to the ship. In the buffet "Waldorf salad" had the walnuts, ...

Awful experience

This was my first cruise experience which I most definitely will not be repeating. Boarding at Southampton was like waiting to board a ferry, sat in the car along side the ship for an hour in an enormous queue. The cabin was in need of updating but it was clean with comfortable beds. The buffet can only be described as the equivalent of a motorway service station. Food being offered ...

Boat: Jasper: Scenic Luxury River Cruise (Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam) a 5 star cruise! I want to know, who made up the daily menus? No one that is familiar with fine cuisine. Food will make or break a company. Mess up with food, and repeat customers will not return. This company needs hire a couple of trained Chefs to make up a decent modern menu and then train the kitchen staff ...

Sailed on a 15 day cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam with Scenic Ruby on August 28th, 2023. Flights and everything booked through scenic. On the boat the food, drinks, staff were fantastic but delayed and cancelled flights at both ends cause lots of stress. Because it was a Sunday no calls to scenic were answered and we had to organize alternate flights ourselves with no help from scenic. Our ...

We have used P&O several times before and were pleased and therefore excited to take the whole family this time. We are still in shock at the shocking deterioration since our last cruise. App did not work for restaurant bookings, they were all fully booked before we realised. Pools were emptied for repairs and too deep for smaller children No staff resulted in not everything being open ...
