Am I just missing it or are there no roll calls for Scenic? 

Thank you, everyone! I appreciate all the information!

I'm thrilled to say that we booked on a Scenic River Cruise that leaves August 19th! So excited!

We took your advice and are doing the Pargue to Budapest itinerary on the Danube with 3 days in Prague before and 2 days in Budapest afterwards. 

Can't wait to learn more about river cruising!

Such great information from these replies! Thank you so much! 

I will look into AmaWaterways...I'd never heard of them. Any other river cruiseline you suggest I add to my research list? 

Hey there! Hope I am posting on the correct board. We've done tons of cruising but never a river cruise. Instead of doing a 14+ day cruise, I think we should do a shorter 7 or 8 day itinerary to be sure we like river cruising. We are thinking to go somewhere in Europe. I can easily book my own air. 

The only river cruise line I am familiar with is Viking. What others should I look at for a first river cruise?

We like veranda staterooms and several options for dining...not even sure what else I need to say here. I just need a starting place....

Thanks! 

Sandals! Especially if it is winter and we are traveling from somewhere cold....I want sandals on asap!

We did ! Thank you! Portland Lobster Company was great!

Thank you so much ! We have a plan now!

We can leave ship at 8 and need to be back by 5pm. Booked a lighthouse tour from 11:30-1, which I now realize is not giving us a lot of time on either end.

We'd like to get a feel for Portland...maybe not another tour. Can we just walk around? Should we hire a taxi at the dock?

Thanks for the quick help!

WE have been to both islands before but our friends have been to neither.

Our ship Arrives in St 8am in St Thomas and we are thinking of getting to St John as early as possible (totally comfortable doing that on our own) and just staying around Cruz Bay. After an early lunch, head back to St Thomas as our friends want a few hours to shop.

My question is what can we do if we stay around Cruz Bay for a few hours? Beach is not something they want to do but we remember St John as being so beautiful and we want our friends to at least set foot on the island.

Thank you.
