I just got off the phone with the Scenic rep in Vancouver, BC and was told that all boats are presently functioning but there may be some small delays out of certain ports as things are moving slowly. He said that Scenic boats have a shallow draft so are able to get thru. There were some problems earlier in the season, but all boats are now cruising as usual. This applies to the Rhine.
Hopefully this is accurate info....
We were on the Scenic Opal on Aug. 20th and I can tell you that this ship did not get through. We were on the Opal for 4 days, given a long bus ride into a town and another long bus ride to transfer to the Ruby. We were on the Ruby for two nights and then transferred to the Amber for the remainder of our trip. Our trip was very hectic and tiring. We were looking forward to a leisurely vacation (as advertised). It did not happen. Strange information from your travel agent?
