Avalon Waterways Christens Affinity Ship

On May 9, Avalon Waterways unveiled the Avalon Affinity in Europe, the second of five new Avalon ships planned for debut between 2008 and 2010. Christening attendees arrived in Volendam, a Netherlands fishing village, and boarded a 1910 Royal Dutch Marine steamship where they enjoyed lunch before the Avalon Affinity appeared on the water in the distance for a special, Dutch-themed christening event.

Planning to take family and friends cruising for the holidays or in 2010 ? Book by Aug 31. Your group will receive double the gap points ! FYI - "gap points" are amenities for your group - You'll receive double amenities !


I've only been on about 7 Holland America cruises, and have 2 more weeks this summer in Alaska. The use to be more "white glove - country club" type service, but they have actually calmed down from that stiff type atmosphere, and you can actually enjoy more conversation with the staff ! I love the many dollars they put in thier art decor, as many do ! I find the food and entertainment good too. Their pasta, salad bar, hard serve ice cream, and bread puddings is what I remember most on the Lido deck.

I've personally been on 20+ cruises on Carnival Cruise Lines. Beginning with the ol' Mardi Gras, 20+ years ago, my latest Carnival was aboard the Fantasy, for my 4th time, November '08, out of New Orleans. I enjoy Carnival - It's exciting, bright colors ... a go-go- atmosphere for the young at heart ! I find the staff friendly and the food is good !
