Nice cruise for an AARP convention, at least that is what it looked like.

There tends to be less of an age variety on longer cruises. When we went on our honeymoon there were only a few other young couples. We didn’t mind though. 😊 ...... Sad to hear that the food wasn’t hot. Our food was always cold or lukewarm at best when we went. We’re going on the grandeur again in May. Hoping for the best! 🤞
