We chose this cruise because we knew that we wanted to have an experience with a cruise line where they take excellent care of you with fewer passengers to contend with. Avalon fit that bill with great reviews and the cruise proved them correct. All aspects of embarkation & disembarkation went so very smoothly.
The meals in the dining room & elsewhere were delicious and varied, and the service in the dining room and the Panorama Lounge was first-rate. Thanks to Emilia, Yannis and all our servers - you are the best!
Entertainment is not the main attraction of this cruise but the music provided each evening was enjoyable and appropriate. We did enjoy the demonstration of Black Forest woodcarving and the evening music of "La Strada".
Our cabin was immaculate and was kept that way twice daily! The bathroom was spotless and we enjoyed the L'Occitane toiletries included.
