Avalon Artistry II Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this cruise because it was 12 nights and visited the Rhine and Mosel Rivers. The ports were interesting and fun to explore. The included tours were well planned and allowed time for individual exploration. We never felt rushed to get back to the ship.
The crew was friendly and helpful and excellent service at all meals. The buffets at breakfast and lunch offered a wide variety of delicious dishes. The dinners never disappointed to offer a wide variety of choices and the servings were perfect.
Our cruise director Vlad was very informative with his nightly cruise talks about the schedule and itinerary for the next day. Our cruise was cut short because of low water level and we had to be bused to our last day's tours and spend the last night at a Zurich hotel. Vlad handled the problem perfectly and kept us informed of the repositioning. And Avalon is compensating us for the inconvenience. We were flying home from Zurich so it was no problem for us, a much shorter transfer to the airport.
Cabin Review
Outside Stateroom with Window
We had a lower cabin with only a window but had plenty of room to store our clothes and move around. The window was the length of the room and let in plenty of light and allowed us to check the weather--it never had water on it. The bathroom is small and the shower may be too small for some people but it worked fine for us.
