Decisions, Decisions. My TA has come back with the Romantic Rhine Cruise on the Avalon Panorama. Almost the same dates, 2 extra days. It would be Basel to Amsterdam. Two nights in Zurich and one night at the end in Amsterdam included, gratuities etc. The cost is more, but there are two extra days cruise days and Category A instead of B. Thoughts?

I think that is the reason our TA suggested that cruise, keeping our budget in mind and what is available. I have reached out to her this am about a Rhine cruise so we will see what she comes up with. It is confusing there are so many cruise lines and itineries, what is included etc. We have never cruised before, even though we have done a lot of travelling. Thanks for your help

Thanks everyone for the welcome and the advice and ideas. I think I will do a little more checking around before booking anything.

I my not be posting this in the right place. However, senior couple, both 70, looking to do a European River Cruise. Not set on any cruise line or cruise. We are working with a travel agent, and she has suggested Avalon or Emerald. She has found one for us to look over. It's the Danube Symphony on the Avalon Visionary, Budapest to Munich Oct 2023. Includes one night in Budapest prior and two nights in Munich at the end and prepaid gratuities. We would have a Panoramic Suite (large window that opens I think). Any suggestions of something that would be better for first timers or a different cruise line. The reviews for the ship itself look good but I havent found any information on that particular cruise. I also wonder if we are looking too late for this year and that it might be better for us to wait till next Spring.
