10 night Panama Canal Sunfarer
If you are old this is for you. But, if you are young or young at heart you need another cruise line. This is a small ship with boring activities and shopping. Not much to do but lay around, ,eat and drink. The average age was 60 to 80 yrs. old. Though we are in our 60's ,we feel we are more active and want some more outgoing things to keep us preoccupied. This ship lacked enthusiasm. Holland caters to older people primarily and if that is what you want than great.
We have been on several Carnival cruises and they have all been fun to be on. I think the difference is that Carnival is a larger ship and it has more shopping, more diverse age group with many things for all ages to do entertained.
