    It really was an excellent cruise and I enjoyed it immensely. The only comment I would make is the act that all alcohol and excursions are obviously factored into the cost and personally I don't drink very much and am unable to participate in any excursion that involve walking a distance. I would like to think I would be able to go on another cruise but perhaps pay for any drinks and excursions.

    The inclusions were excellent, walking tour guides at most locations were brilliant and well informed. The Cruise Director (Richard Grey) was absolutely fantastic, running the program with precision, and good humour. The entire crew was magnificent. Just a couple of small things that were a bit off; firstly, the cab drivers at the end of the cruise for those travelling under own means, advice of what the coat should be to hotel in Budapest was not clear (they didnt use a meter!). Perhaps a ball-park idea would have been nice to know. The walkibg tours were in some cases a bit rushed - although with the sailing schedule understandable. The on-board information system was great, although it would be really nice to be able to download the fact sheets of the towns and other POIs that show on it, via QR code reader on smart phones. The codes are there, but even Cruise Director couldnt advise whether they are available to the guests. Seems its all locked down to Scenic internal servers. Lastly, the backpacks supplied are fantastic, although an external pocket with the elastic bungee cord mesh to hold the supplied water for the shore excursions would be a good idea (internal pockets plentiful, but water bottle leaked onto clothes inside bag). Thank you, had the most awesome time. The nice touch was the 30th anniversary card signed by the cruise director and bottle of champagne on ice waiting for us on the balcony when we arrived back from a shore excursion was fantastic.

    Can’t believe a quarter of our tour was spent jammed up next to other boats. Do you call it relaxing when you are double and triple docked next to other boats and can’t use your balcony Scenic, and by the way breakfast and 3 or 4 lunches were good but your dinners nothing but crap.!
