    Very well organized trip. Everyone on board tried to make our experience as pleasant as possible. All inclusive was great. There was nothing more to pay for. I will definitely sail again with scenic luxury cruises.

    · August 22nd, 2025
    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.
