We had never been on a river cruise and are so glad we chose this ship. The ship was beautiful, immaculate and so well laid out. Meals were truly outstanding. Restaurant quality for sure! Wonderful wines and beer were offered with lunch and dinner. The tours were so well done, led by guides who clearly knew their locations and were enthusiastic to share their cities with us. Evening entertainment was always well done and appropriate to the port. The crew were outstanding: Robert, Djoko and Boris our waiters....all went over the top with service. Our cruise director, Eric, was most professional. In addition to paying the suggested gratuity, we tipped many others additionally because the service was so excellent. We cannot wait for our next Avalon River cruise. Having done several ocean cruises, there is just no comparison. We chose an "E" deck room and it was perfect. Clever storage everywhere. Although we packed way too much, we found ample storage for everything. This was a port intensive trip and we never missed not having the panoramic windows. We heard no engine noise and slept like babies in the comfy bed.
Cabin was great. Well appointed and organized!!!
Fabulous guide. Lovely city.
