Budapest Scenic River Scenic Jasper Cruise Reviews

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 ...

We are well seasoned travellers, just returned (December 2023) from a 15-day Christmas Market river cruise aboard the Scenic Jasper. By way of an overview, if you would like a pampered, truly all-inclusive vacation-where you honestly feel valued then stop reading this review and book your Scenic experience now. Scenic set the service, value and experiential bar that competitors strive towards. ...

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 ...

The cruise from Budapest to Nuremburg could not have been better. The boat, crew, meals & wine, were all superb and good value. The wines were all from the region and were matched to the meals. The excursions were very well arranged and included concerts in palaces and walking tours. Three meals a day are included on the boat with one in a restaurant on the day visit to Vienna. Entertainment was ...

We sailed on Scenic Jasper from Budapest to Amsterdam in late May 2023. This was our first river cruise and first experience with Scenic after having taken numerous ocean cruises with many different cruise lines. We have read numerous Cruise Critic reviews and note that prior to COVID, Scenic received mostly positive 5-star reviews, including from many friends who had previously sailed with ...

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 ...

Although the staff were very nice & mostly tried their best, the priority is for Scenic's needs -passengers and their requests are very low on the list.! They have an inflexible attitude toward problems or suggestions & suffer a lack any empathy & the motto seems to be ' don't provide unless it's asked for several times first' Our cabin was missing items which took several requests to ...

We were impressed even before we boarded for our cruise! On the day before sailing we found the dock and boarded to ask a few questions. The staff was quite pleasant and accommodating. This was definitely a different experience than an ocean cruise. We brought our luggage to the ship around 11 am on the first day and they stored it while we ate lunch and then left the ship to explore ...

This cruise was highly recommended by several friends who had done many scenic and other cruises. Obviously scenic came out on top and this was the cruise we chose - with absolutely no regrets. The fact that we had to change ships because of low water levels only added to the adventure. The next down side was the comparison of ships. The Jasper was every bit as luxurious as anticipated, but the ...

After searching for cruises we chose this Scenic European river cruise and also speaking with family and friends and we were not disappointed The service and food were.great and our tour director Sylvia was helpful organised and informative even calling us taxi’s when she was very busy We both would like to especially thank Sylvia for her help in details for daily activities We would like to ...
