Champion's

3 out of 5

Great venue, staff, service and off beats (band), however the other entertainment here was directed at the 60+, even to the point, no one was there apart from me and my son, listening to jukebox heavy rock and have a few beers, when it was turned off for TV which just showed talking, We soon left, thier loss of sales.

Crystal Pool

5 out of 5

Nice apart from one instance of a older passenger taking my sun bed while I was in the pool, which just turned on deaf ears.

Art Gallery

Nice artwork, but not my cup of tea.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Masquarade

3 out of 5

Again directed at the 60+ age group which left at 2300 hrs, but DJ did not change the music for the younger gen which stayed.

Anderson's bar

1 out of 5

The passangers that used this bar were up thier arseholes.

The Crow's Nest

3 out of 5

Nice quite venue, so why not have disco/club for the younger gen.

The Curzon Theatre

2 out of 5

OK, but directed at the 60+ yrs. Need to cater for age from 18 +

Most of us oldies are polite and try to blend in .Especially us 80+ mobile oldies who enjoy watching the younger folks having fun. We do remember what it was like to be young so we almost envy you .Cheers shipmates .

Sorry that the cruise was not a good fit for you.

I agree that it would be nice if cruise lines would cater to a more diverse audience rather than a specific age group. There are plenty of clubs on board most ships -- why must all of them play the same music?

Overall the ship, staff and off beats (band) was great, shame there was so many ignorant and arrogant passengers over the age of 60+ yrs, or the entertainment was direct at them, when this is a family boat not an adult boat.
