Additional details

Sail Date: Jul 2018
Scenic Cruise of Europe? No. Switched to Hotel with no view and noisy stree
Luxury Suite? No. Switched to buses and rest-stop pay toilets.
Luxury River Cruise? No. Crowded bus tour.
Luxury Dining? No. Crowded cafeteria buffets.

We have just returned from our 2018 “Gem’s of the Danube” luxury river cruise.

Actually, that is not correct. We have just returned from a mediocre bus tour of several cities near the Danube. The best I can say is that there was a photo of a luxury river boat on the side of the buses.

• We were promised a trip of our life time -- take the Scenic Route. Meals and drinks included. Leave your wallet at home. Personal butler service. Dine in style. A Five-Star experience.

Response from FionaB, The Scenic Team

Dear Bummed in Budapest, We sincerely apologise for the current low water levels in Europe and share your disappointment that your cruise was not the 5-star experience you were expecting....

Cabin Review

The cabin, public spaces, restaurants, and staff were all quite nice. Sadly, we only experience them two nights and then were transferred to buses and hotels.
