lounge..... sorry must be thinking of the wine:):D:rolleyes:;)

Hi Pappa,

We will be on the New Crystal, Scenic Tours boat in one week. We are going from Budapest up to Amsterdam. We know the wine is free for lunch and dinner and we must say STOP!!! so that is really cool. Also I understand they don't mind if you have a bottle in your room to enjoy in the evening while sitting out on the balcony or if it is chilly the sun-loungh (with a touch of a button-the balcony is enclosed- how cool is that!) I am sure that holds turn to beer, I am sure they would not mind one bit. We will let you know.

Wow, with all your cruises that you have taken..... and this one rates the highest - that is impressive!

I know when we went to one of their presentations (in AB Canada) last year, we were so impressed with everything, that we booked this trip. It just seems that it truly is a very well oiled "boat"..... (I know, a baby ship;))

Sitting on our balcony with a glass of wine and looking at the castles as we slither by, is truly going to be wonderful, speaking of which...... can one see over the railing on the balcony? I was looking at one of the pics and wondered if you had to be "tall" to see over it????

Thank you again for taking the time to always answer

Thanks for answering and I do understand about the rules of the site. Also I think they are good rules, as one can trust what people are saying, as opposed to someone pushing "their" company.

I think your trip would have been awesome. All the whistles and bells were there for you.

From what we have read from everywhere, we think, the owner has visions bar none!!! We are looking forward to hitting the button and then.... having a sun lounge. This is our "first" boat/ship cruise ever, and have had it booked for almost a year now. I thank you for your insight and passing that along. We can't access your photos on facebook or blog, but did watch your christening video, hope the bottle didn't put a dent in the boat!!!

I think we will have to save our money so we can take it again, and get the butler plus all the extras! Thanks again.

This is true about Scenic and much more. I just experienced all the 2013 changes aboard the maiden voyage of Scenic Crystal.

Also changing:

All decks will have butler service, internet will be complimentary, transfers from the airport will become private transfers, etc. Scenic will be the ONLY all-inclusive river cruise line out there.

 

If you purchase your 2013 departures before the end of May and you'll get 2012 prices on 2013 cruises too. No other river cruise line can touch that.

How cool to be on Scenic Crystal's maiden voyage! :) We are booked on it in June 2012. Was there a video of the christening that we can access? Where did the Crystal go on its maiden voyage? Thank you.
