Yep that is accurate, we are sitting on Scenic Crystal tied up behind Viking ships in Regensberg, rumour on the ship today is Scenic have cancelled the return trip to Budapest due to uncertainty of vessels getting to Amsterdam on time.
-
We are leaving the ship in Regensberg like many others, the idea of packing daily in motel rooms then travelling by bus is not for us, we are now heading to Cologne for an extended stay and the the same again in Amsterdam, an no there was no offer for an extra bit of siteseeing cruise.
-
We are on the Scenic Crystal and they are putting everyone on buses who wish to stay with them, it will be hotels all the way to Amsterdam from Regensberg. Many are choosing to end their trip at that point and chase refunds. Then make their own arrangements.

Thanks Again for the information, now it is a wait and see, I will let you know what happens after Regensberg but it appears now from our lunchtime briefing our time on the ship is ending day 7 of 15, one guest has suggested Scenic had taken a gamble with the early cruise date and appear to have been caught out by a minor maintenance delay.
-
Thanks for the update. Yep definitely fingers crossed here.
-
Just had a further conversation with the cruise director and he is saying the reason behind the ship stopping in Regensberg and putting us onto buses from there is all the lock maintenance on the main danube canal has been delayed, I am not familiar with any of this other than the fact we are ending our cruise 7 days into 15.
-
Thanks again for the update, any information about the progress at the lock would be appreciated.

They are saying they have no ships coming back this was as they are all in the North at the moment, we will be trying for a substantial refund but our preference would be to do the cruise that we travelled all the way to Europe from Australia to do, this was a holiday of a lifetime that Scenic seem very comfortable to just blow off with little regard for their customers.
-
Thanks for the response, we are actually not due to reach Regensberg till Sunday the 2nd of April so I am surprised that scenic is saying we are not going to be able to pass through. Also do you know if the barge has been removed from the lock as yet ?

We are leaving Budapest on Scenic Crystal tonight 28/03 heading to Amsterdam on what was supposed to be 15 nights and have now been informed our actual ship time will end in Regensberg as they apparently can't get through the lock and we will have to travel the rest of the way by bus. Very disappointed to say the least.
