Ngaire, thanks for the analysis. Reading your comparison of Amadeus versus Scenic, it seems to me that Amadeus is far ahead unless you really want a full balcony. 11 nights for $3596 versus 10 nights for $4835 is a big difference even if tips, wine and beer with lunch, and an excursion or two more are included with Scenic. To top it off by adding a "nuisance" charge of 25 euro for internet on Scenic, I would vote for Amadeus. Of course, we will probably opt for the Egypt trip in 2010 vice Budapest - Prague so we probably shouldn't have a say in this trip.
