Review summary

Nice cruise with a low number of passengers. I prefer a lively ship. Very few even showed up for the sail away event. The entertainment was excellent. The meals just OK. The speciality dining was very good (one evening). All in all…a very quiet cruise…too quiet. I’m old but I hate being reminded of that with walkers and canes! I like a fun ship!!!

Beautiful but way too hot. I don’t think I had any water left in my body…clothing was saturated. The bus tour turned out having too much walking.

Well at least now you know what you don't like. Carnival is probably the best bet for you.
