The staff you have chosen on the cruise are outstanding!!!! They are a wonderful representation of Avalon. They are all so skilled at whatever their position. Should one of my friends or family desire to travel (or do a river cruise), of course, I would want them to have the very best and it is, in my opinion, Avalon. (what a beautiful ship, by the way.) The staff all made me feel that they really, really cared if I was enjoying my time with Avalon. If, for some reason, it was "just a job" to them, then I have been truly fooled, because they were all very sincere from my experience. Per
