Review summary

Very calm, relaxing cruise; not the extraganza like the large RCCL ships. Mostly older crowd (30s,40s,50s) although there were also a sizable amount of college-age passengers and families with kids. Food is great; the Blu has a good menu and the food in the buffet area is very diverse with good quality. The specialty sushi restaurant was not that great however. Both ports were okay although Coco Cay didn't seem to have much staff to serve drinks around the lagoon area. Also, there was no DJ at the lagoon this time around; most of the music was disappointing. Overall however it was a good cruise and a more traditional experience.

Thanks for informative review! You must be in your 20s if you say 30s are older! But RC is typically a younger crowd than Celebrity, I would expect! Holland was the oldest crowd of any ship I have been on! It is something yo consider. Nothing beats Carnival for excitement! I'm older and still love Carnival!
