Lovely cruise on an Avalon River boat
May
Pros: Small, inclusive, easy to meet people, constant scenery
Cons: no all-inclusive beverage package, average entertainment, some disorganization with excersions
Recommended: Yes
My husband and I just returned from an 7 day river cruise down the Seine River in France. The boat held aprox.130 people - a wonderful way to meet many people and make connections. The meals are all very good and we had many options. The staff is very friendly and try go out of their way to assist in anything you request. The land excursions were above expectation and I have to mention the local expert guides were exceptional, so knowledgeable and informative. I have only two, minor complaints: there is no beverage package available and I felt the wait staff "pushed" the liquor sales after or during the free wine/beer service with meals. Secondly, there seem to be a lack of organization when it came to daily excursions and the disembarkment process. The lobby became very congested each time as there were not clear directions as to who goes where and when. I've sailed another river cruise line that had a much better style during this busy time.
