Review summary

Overall nice cruise, but am disappointed that Carnival only caters to the 20-something and 30-something crowds - why? Why not balance things a little? Every bit of music, pool bash, games, every day was from that generation, Can't they throw-in a Beach-Boys tune now and then?

When I was on the first cruise with my wife, we had a Sock-Hop. It was packed and could have gone on for hours, but was shut down after 1 hour. Poor planing there, On the Island Princess we had a group that read the crowd right and we Rocked and Rolled ALL NIGHT. I even won a Jive contest and a bottle of Champagne On NCL In the Atrium the entertainment was supposed to end at ten....They decided the crowd was too much fun and stayed until 2AM.... Many extra drinks were sold that neght....It's all in the attitude of the cruise line and the ability of the on deck staff and management to make smart and popular decisions. Yes, demographics make a difference, But... C'mon-----Rock and Roll is here to stay......

Hi tcm1. You may also be interested in a themed cruise that is all about oldies. I see ads for them regularly – sometimes including shows by original stars!
