Review summary
Amazing ports of call provide opportunity to "feel" historic events in authentic surroundings. Local guides demonstrate wide-spread knowledge, enthusiastic narration, and personal warmth and interaction with cruise guests.
"Cruise Director" assumed a curious role. He did not appear to ever leave the ship, and displayed little effort to get to know but a relatively few guests. Other, similar, cruise lines have Director in the field with local guides.
Beds were particularly comfortable. Food plentiful, but not very variable.
Ships crew personable and friendly. Ship facilities excellent.
Delightful, educational, and enriching cruise.

We have done this cruise twice, taking different tours in each port the second time for a completely new experience! Our cruise directors on Avalon have always been good, sounds like you just got a dud. Hopefully Avalon gets your feedback and he shapes up or will not be rehired. Thanks for the review!
