We wished for a smaller cruise...fewer people, and this was it! It was fun! Most all the travelers were outgoing and fun and funny. Food was great, with beautifully presented plated dinners. Abundant choices for breakfast and lunch buffets...a few menu items as well. Our cabin on 3rd deck was great! Ample storage space, comfortable beds, big slider window and a very workable bathroom. Staff were super! One night, was "staff" night...even the Captain entertained us with 2 musical voice solos! Got a big hug from a special waiter before our departure! (Say hi to Madalin from "Madam") Tours were good. I did skip one, as just too comfortable to just sleep in! Wished for more free time in the little stops! And maybe even a day or 2 with nothing planned. We would recommend Avalon cruises! Will surely consider this line should we schedule another cruise! It was class all the way. Felt well taken care of and safe, too. Give Avalon a try! Thumbs up!
