Danube Cruise
Contrary to recent reviews we had a great experience, true getting to communicate with Scenic is woeful but apart from that….this was a cruise that should have gone first in 2020 then 2021. We were upgraded and loved our Royal Balcony Suite with the extras including more laundry. Halfway through we had to swap ships due to water levels but apart from having to pack the crew made it seamless. We in fact like the Scenic Opal more than the Chrystal which was a little older. Our first river cruise but to us the food was pretty good with lots of choice and our mini bar was refilled daily and customised to our tastes. The service was good, slightly better on the Opal but the cruise director Nicolai was very good as the trips we chose were well run, most of the guides being interesting too. Our driver from Addison Lee for the airport runs was helpful and friendly. Only 3 minor niggles….the tap in the bathroom spat water out over you, the shower in the Chrystal had no handheld attachment which is useful for washing hair if short like me! And they took our bathrobes the day before…necessary I suppose to get all washed in time. All in all a very good week where we met some lovely people . Unfortunately since our return we have tested positive along with at least 4 others we met and to be fair there weren’t many precautions onboard and think we had all got complacent.
