- LBLisa· May 12th, 2024This was our first cruise and we enjoyed it very much. The ship was immaculate, the staff was lovely, and the food was really good. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to others.Trip date: April 2024
- MLMark· May 1st, 2022Great ship, crew, & itinerary. Keukenhof was the highlight, but stops and walking tours of other cities were terrific. This tour attracted an older clientele, FYI. We made some great new friends.Trip date: April 2022
- PNPatricia· April 25th, 2018Carola was an awesome guide, humorous, knowledgable and helpful!!!Trip date: April 2018
- BBBernadette· July 26th, 2016Avalon is a wonderful cruise ship company. Everything was well handled, the accommodations were lovely--the ship is very well appointed. The staterooms are comfortably laid out and the beds were comfy and there was plenty of storage space. Food was delicious. We enjoyed all the meals. There was always something to appeal to everyone. The staff were super. Always available to help with whatever you needed. I think they must have all taken a happy pill in the morning! Never have I seen people with such big smiles all the time. Our cruise director was great, well informed and helpful. We were very impressed with the captain. He was always around and took time to sit and chat with everyone.Show moreTrip date: April 2016
