We chose Avalon because of four previous, wonderful experiences with the Globus group. Because of low water on the Danube we had to embark on the Panarama for one day and then transition to the Expression for the remainder of the cruise. Both the embarkation and disembarkation went extremely well. The Captain was gracious, approachable and exhibited confidence in what he and his crew were doing. This was a comfort to me. Our room was all that I had hoped for on our journey: clean, spacious, and, wow, what great views. In fact, the entire ship was meticulous. We were never interrupted by housecleaning, but they were always available to us if needed. The food was incredible during our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. We're still thinking of all the tremendous food choices that were provided us. The servers were friendly, always smiling, quick to serve and very patient with all the requests people kept throwing at them. As to entertainment we enjoyed the beer and wine tastings. The music entertainment was quality for many. Before I forget I must mention our tour guide, Isabel, for she was working diligently to make us aware of all the cruise happenings because of changes made to the trip with the low water. All the shore excursions had knowledgeable and friendly guides, and the substituted trip to Cesky Krumlov instead of getting down the river to Nuremburg was a fine trip for us. Avalon was very generous in compensation given to us because of the low water and the extra ship transfer. Would we do it again, you bet we would! Thank you for creating great memories for us!
