I would not stay again on the back of the ship. Every morning we had black dust from the engine that settled on everything on our deck.

When you consider it takes 5 to 10 years to build a ship. 9 years can not be considered old. If you want to see old go on the Paradise and get a load of the mahogany wood work in your cabin. Old have some character you can’t find in the later ships

Thanks for sharing your experience! Perhaps you should try Holland America, for an older crowd.
