Avalon Vista Cruise Report July 22 -Aug 5, 2012 Budapest to Amsterdam
by Ken Montgomery - Irvine, California
The purpose of this review is to give details about this particular cruise (Avalon Vista - Budapest to Amsterdam) that are not available from Avalon or anywhere else. Half the fun of a cruise is the preparation & anticipation. The times that the Vista arrives and departs various river ports depends on the times the boat can get into various locks. Also, the various cruise boats coordinate their land visits with each other so they don't all arrive at the main feature of the port at the same time, so access to Tourist sites will also dictate schedule.
The Cabin is one of the 2 Royal Suites on the boat. It had 300 square feet, which is huge for a river boat. It had plenty of storage space. It had 2 sliders that opened the suite to the outside world. The beds were very comfortable. The A/C system was strong, making the rooms plenty cool for sleeping. It has several 220 outlets for all your electronic toys. It has a small table and two chairs and a love seat, plus a desk chair.
