@Host Jazzbeau thanks for your response. Our public broadcaster is the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) much like BBC in the UK. There are no commercials, disguised or not! Least it be accused of illicit payments. I’m certain I’ll find the trip enjoyable. BTW the fare wasn’t quite the pp price, there was a percentage increase, understandable when they could potentially fill the cabin with two passengers.

Testing how to respond…seems easy enough

Hi, my very first post here! I’ve booked my first cruise ever for August next year on the Rhine. I’m cruising with Avalon from Amsterdam to Basel. I came here to read about river levels for the same period this year as a little bit of a guide. Whatever transpires I’ll enjoy the journey no matter what. What is interesting is I haven’t read anybody’s posts on this thread mentioning Avalon, yet many travel with Viking. I’m solo so Viking wasn’t an option as the fare would have doubled…..so I went with Avalon for the discounted no supplement fare. I’d love to read travel stories about Avalon, my scant research found them to be great, have I been mislead? Oh I’m Australian so pulling out isn’t an option, it’s a long way from here to the northern hemisphere 🙃
