Very nice ship but I wanted more activities on board. This is a cruise for older people, service was excellent. Entertainment was good but all done by 11:30 and things closed by midnight. Nice restaurants and dining, shows were good. Ports were ok.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Solid and right on the money review! Where this line is an ideal choice is for families with young children who want to cruise on spring break, but want to avoid heavy partiers.
