  • Join us on the Avalon Waterways Panorama for our first ever river cruise! We joined Avalon Panorama in Amsterdam and spent 7 nights making our way down to Basel on a Romantic Rhine river cruise.
    In this episode we have a lovely breakfast onboard Avalon Panorama before heading on our first excursion of the cruise, a complimentary Canal Cruise of Amsterdam.
    Were back onboard Avalon Waterways Panorama for lunch and then make our way to our next port of call, Cologne.

    🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys?
    We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us!
    We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails).
    We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.

    I watch your videos when I want to relax in the evening. You both are so upbeat and kind. I will never get to go on the cruises you take; airfare costs more than the cruise. Nice rendition of Tina Turner's Rollin' on the River!

      Shame about the wind, I could have made that song into a music video! Would have had the perfect back drop for it! 😂
      We totally understand what you mean about flight costs. It costs us the same as the cruise when we fly to the Caribbean, we’ve even considered transatlantic Caribbean cruises just to get better value for money. 😅

    I'm enjoying your River Cruise videos. We head off on that same cruise this September so its good to see what your tour involves. Those waffles you have in the back lounge I thought were dutch, we have them here in NZ supermarkets too, they are delicious. Was there many people on board? What time of the year is it? Thanks again.

    • @CruiseMonkeys
      @CruiseMonkeys  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ohhhh have a fabulous time, it’s such a relaxing cruise! Yes, they are stroopwaffles, but we have a place that makes them locally 🤤
      On this ship there were around 110, so not full but even full it wouldn’t feel busy. This was October, it was the ships final river cruise before the 6 winter break before they restarted for Christmas.

    ... first off Merry Christmas to you both ... does your window open so you can feed the duck ? ... would be hopeful for a beer about here ...I see you went back to the ship ... re-fuel and off you go to explore ... so the entire wall seems to open ... very posh ...also good to see you go from sober to after a top deck stroke and ready to turn in ... BON VOYAGE ...
