A cruise is definitely what you make of it. I try 1000% not to have a preconceived notion before I get on any ship so I won't have any let downs. My rule is let the ship reveal itself to you as you go. Look for the things that interest you best and do them. Remember people you only have a week, so make it a fun on no matter what.

A cruise is what you make of it, so glad you made it good for you. You might try a different ship or a different line. We find pros and cons on everyone we go on.
