This was our first cruise with Avalon and we were absolutely delighted with every aspect of our experience with them. The ship was tastefully decorated; the lounge was spacious; the exercise facilities were more than adequate; the dining room gave us plenty of space between tables and no long buffet lines. And our cabin was top notch, with a small seating area and a luxurious bathroom.

Dining options were numerous and varied and the food was excellent. We generally took advantage of the "light lunch" option offered in the lounge and enjoyed the "bistro" dinner on three separate occasions. We were delighted with the quality of the wines on offer every evening at dinner and were amazed that our glasses never seemed to become empty.

The entire staff was friendly and helpful, providing outstanding service. The Captain was frequently on hand and often said a few words to everyone, which we thought was a very nice touch. We particularly appreciated the Cruise Director, Robert, for his remarkable sense of humor and his masterful organization of our daily outings and on board entertainment. Most outings were included in the price of the cruise, with some optional outings available at what we thought were very reasonable rates.

Cabin Review

Cabin <p>Top deck

Our cabin was top notch, with a small seating area and a luxurious bathroom. Closet and other storage space was generous. Two things stand out in our minds about this cabin: (1) we never heard a single sound from any of the surrounding cabins and (2) we didn't feel compelled to run to the lounge to "escape" from it.
