Review summary

If you are young or middle age this cruise is not for you. Few kids on board. The ship is in need of an overhaul. Worn carpet and furniture, no interactive t.v. on the positive side this cruise appeals to the 50s-70,s crowd. Good food,great fellow passengers and activities on board and on shore good for this demographic.

Ship tip

If sailing out of San Francisco with a red eye flight to the east coast, find a hotel that will store your bags for the day and take a hop on off bus to see san fran. for the day.

We are on this cruise right now. Aged between 30-35. The cruise is what you make it. We are having a blast. It's what you make of it. I agree about the overhaul. It's not terrible, just not as nice as the other cruise liners. Still the best cruise I have been on. Hawaii is amazing!

I've decided that this will not be my party cruise... Relax, read, learn, experience. No large nights dancing the night away.... Next cruise
