1-10 of 36 Amsterdam Avalon Waterways Avalon Imagery II Cruise Reviews
We were first time Avalon cruisers, so had no idea what to expect. We were VERY happy with 99% of all aspects of the cruise!
The ship is lovely and light and airy, in immaculate condition and spotlessly clean.
The crew were outstanding! all so friendly, happy and went out of their way to make sure you were happy and having fun!
Food was exellent, in range, quality and quantity!!! Really ...
We chose the Rhine/Moselle cruise because we were traveling with 2 elders and knew a river cruise would be a good way to travel with them.
The ship was clean, the stateroom nice, the staff pleasant and helpful.
The food was nearly unaccepable. It was like a cheap cafeteria to me, often poorly cooked, cold, industrial meals. The vegetarian options were 90% pasta, over-cooked, bland pasta at ...
Great reviews and had not visited the areas for this trip. The small size of the ship and the personal attention is excellent. The crew is enjoyable and helpful at every step of the way. Starting in Amsterdam and ending in Luxembourg with Paris added for a few days was a great way to joy and Spring get away.
One of the great things about this trip is the included tours and events as you go ...
This was our second Avalon cruise within the last eight months. On both cruises we were treated with the upmost respect and friendly ness. From the moment we stepped onto the ship until the day we departed everything was handled beautifully. The entire staff did an outstanding job. The cruise director, hotel manager, bar staff, wait staff, receptionist staff, cabin attendants, chef and assistants, ...
Avalon delivered in every way. The ship and its crew were exceptional in every way. This was our first cruise and we booked it with friends. Afterwards, a friend who had taken a similar Kristkindelmarkt cruise with Avalon confirmed we had chosen wisely. From the time we arrived in Amsterdam to disembarking in Remich, we enjoyed one of the best vacations we’ve taken. The laid back atmosphere, ...
Hello! We sailed last week on the Imagery II seven day Tulip Time cruise and it was awesome.
If you want to see a more in depth review I wrote a very detailed cruise blog/report on the CC river cruise board with the title "Just Back.. Our Bloomingly Beautiful Tulip Time Cruise Aboard Avalon's Imagery II. Full trip report with tons of pix!"
Here is just an overview of our cruise.
We have ...
I wish I could give Avalon's ship, crew, and itinerary 10 stars because it was outstanding in every way. The meals were so beautifully prepared and presented - with all the wine you want from the local region. The entire crew did their job with a smile and couldn't do more for each one of the passengers. The ship was spotless and our beds comfortable. My room attendant, Nemo, brightened my day ...
Pros: Nice balcony room, comfortable bed, excellent excursions, the lady playing violin was really great and entertaining, too.
Cons:
1) Food. Simply awful and small portions. Some examples: The "welcome aboard" lunch was noodles and hamburger. Reminded me of school lunch - not a good start to an expensive cruise. My wife's main course at the "gala dinner" was sole (fish). Literally ...
Having done quite a few ocean cruises this was our first ever experience of a river trip.
Initially Avalon made an absolute hash of our flights and eventually got us to the ship after midnight. As we missed that evening’s meal they did offer us some light refreshments in our cabin.
The cabin itself was excellent with panoramic windows and good facilities. It was quiet with no discernable ...
We thoroughly enjoyed all of the excursions. The tour guides were extremely well-versed, kind and courteous. We saw and experienced sites that we probably never would have if we had gone on our own. The time spent simply cruising down the Mosel and Rhine rivers, just watching the world float by, was also incredibly relaxing and breathtaking. It was nice talking to, and getting to know others on ...
