If Scenic's Insurance company won't pay up, $16 Million could send Scenic down the proverbial gurgler. No doubt there will be an appeal lodged by Scenic's lawyers.:D

 

Strewth, I wish the media would stop calling these river boats 'Cruise ships,' they are goddam river boats.:evilsmile:

 

Anyway I hope those involved get their money eventually.

 

Scenic are amongst the highest priced of the river boat operators, but many Aussies seem to book with them. I prefer to be amongst a more international passenger complement. The river boats don't appeal to me greatly, still way overpriced for what they are, but if I did one it would be with Uniworld or Viking that attract an international passenger base. The 'boss wants to do one and keeps hammering me to do one, she can wait until I am on the big cruise ship in the sky.

The difference in price is Scenic is an ALL costs inclusive. Everything. Tips, top shelf alcohol, tours you name it. I'm currently on a Holland America cruise and am CONSTANTLY putting my hand in my pocket. I'd far rather pay upfront and sit back and enjoy knowing I don't have one more cent to pay except my own personal shopping.

Thank you very much :)

Scenic - Prague to Paris

HAL - Venice to Barcelona

Oh dear - we really wanted the zorba entertainment and from my research, it's not a very common type of entertainment (tourist or not) to find with dinner. Am rethinking finding our own night tour and dinner - hopefully HAL will refund.

Hi

We've booked the excursion titled "A Night in the Plaka" which is dinner and Zorba dancing.

There is only one review and it's pretty bad, which has me second guessing our decision.

Any other reviews, good, bad or otherwise?

Thanks in advance.
