We will be sailing Scenic Eclipse II soon, and wonder how to make reservations for the dining venues which require them.

pete_coach, assume you have your answer re the receptacles on the Sapphire, but if not, I can tell you definitively they are the two-prong European ones.

This morning I phoned Scenic to verify our transfers from the airport to hotel and then from the hotel to the ship were set up for our trip in early August. My call was answered in less than 10 minutes! The person I spoke with mentioned he had only been with Scenic for 3 weeks, but he seemed knowledgeable. Transfers are arranged and docs to be sent by UPS 8 - 10 days before departure. He indicated docs are going out timely. We may have to call back to have them emailed due to our early departure, we'll see. I hope today's experience means Scenic is getting back on track and catching up with their backlogs and staffing.

We sailed this lovely trip in 2019, arrived early in Nice and stayed at the hotel Scenic uses. We and others were picked up at the hotel and taken by luxury bus to Tarascon, a drive of a couple of hours. If you aren't staying at "their" hotel, you will need to contact Scenic to find out where they are picking up passengers in Nice and let them know you will meet them there. They don't seem keen to pick guests up at other locations, which is understandable.

We head out on a southern France river cruise in a month or so. Have never used the laundry service as most of my clothing needs to be washed on cold and hung to dry. Previously have washed items in the sink, but this is difficult with larger clothing. How does the laundry service work, and is it possible to have some special attention to delicate items? Thanks for sharing your experiences.
