WHICH SIDE OF A RIVERBOAT IS BEST -OUR AGENT DOESN’T SEEM TO KNOW?

Q – I am so damn mad at my travel agent. We’ve asked her three times which side of the ship is best (we’re sailing the Avalon Line on the Danube) but she doesn’t seem to know. It would seem like a simple question. I think I’ll just do it myself next time. Do any of your people know the answer?

A – Well, actually, all of us on staff here prefer the cabins in the middle of the ship. Smoother ride – ask for one of those. Probably best for you to book directly given your charm and sophistication. Most experienced river cruisers like to book the sider of the boat that gets the least sun as air conditioning on these boats is not particularly strong so afternoon shade can be a blessing.
