Review summary

Generally, a good cruise. We had a group of six. Two 30 somethings and four 18-20 year old's. That's still a pretty young group for a cruise in early June. Generally it was a good trip. I feel that the programming on the cruise is still geared heavily toward the 55+ crowd, but if you jump in and do the goofy stuff it' still fun. The nickle and dime mentality left me with a bit of a bad taste. For example, there is an upscale coffee bar (think Starbucks style) that was added during their recent renovation. My wife ordered a hot chocolate (for $3), and was shocked to see them open a packet and pour in hot water. Seriously? not even steamed milk? Here's the biggest issue for me: they've renovated the wrong stuff on this ship. All of the things you see (think pictures) are clean, and fresh. But all of the stuff you TOUCH, is worn out. The mats on the deck chairs were horribly worn out to the point of being useless. The pillows were awful. I didn't mind the mattresses, but my wife hated them. Keeping our stateroom cool was a big problem. We could barely open our curtains or balcony and keep the room cool enough to sleep. We LOVED the movies outside. Can we get a cruise line that's creative? Seems like all the same goofy stuff (art auction, bingo, etc.)
