I had traveled with two other couples who have cruised on other riverboat lines and hands down said that Avalon was a cut above the others. I have to say that the staff/crew of the Panama were so great and fun to be around. Service, attention and the food was what we had expected. The guides were upbeat and so knowledgable it was a pleasure. The bed the first night was too soft and within a couple of hours the mattress was changed out. Nice response to our comfort. The staterooms were well thought out and we didn't have any space shortage to putting away our things. The bathroom was large, roomy and with nice appointments. We stayed a few days in Prague, and the attention to us was as perfect. The hotel they booked for us was the Four Seasons. This was a wonderful hotel to be in after time spent on the boat. On the front end of the trip they had us in the Intercontinental Hotel in Budapest. It was a bit worn and needed some updating, but adequate. We would certainly considering future travel with Avalon Waterways.
Well appointed. Ample room to store and put away out things. Cabin was very soundproof and never heard anything from other cabins. Loved the panorama windows with sliding doors. The bathrooms was large and functional. Great shower.
