Review summary

I would rather do 4 regular cruises,than pay the kind of money I did.Partially my own fault.I am not a big drinker.The crowd was mostly friendly and educated.Not one obese person.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Had to wait about 3 hours.I know you can't control the weather.It was still very unorganized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Nice,size.Good selections on TV.The same as a cabin on more mainstream lines.

Ship tip

It's not worth the money,but a much better class of people.

Give me another 6 months. I'm losing as fast as I can; fat slob that I is.

Good thing your cruise ended before Christmas. You wouldn't want any obese person, like Santa Claus, on your cruise.

I agree Skooby.Dont know what you mean Ialvys.As for the other one yes.The more money you pay,the better the clientele.Healthwise, Intelligence and social and ethnic background.

I think most luxury cruises aren't worth the price you pay, but one thing is different is the lack of riff raff which I would be glad to pay to avoid them like on my cruise a few months ago.

Better class of people?? Is that in reference to the lack of obese people you mentioned??
