Review summary

We loved the cruise because there were so many kids/teenagers on board. Made the cruise feel vibrant and young. we are not a couple that finds the older demographic pleasing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Used the walking track every day, Great to keep fit, Participated in many shows.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We have always spent time at the Pub, but after listening to Micheal ( and as a musician myself) I thought his guitar balance was out of wack and the vibe just wasn't there. We really enjoyed Paul at the Schooner Bar (Yes every night.) A very professional entertainer

Service and Staff

Disembarkation

Probable not as easy as previous Disembarkation. We put this down that the ship was delayed and a lot of people panicked to get off. We ourselves missed our flight back to Cairns and had to rebook a flight later that day at a cost.

Some of the replies to my comments are certainly misread and misunderstood. Maybe I should have said that I find it more pleasing to have a mixture of generations on our cruise. No I am not a young generation that does not like elderly people or have a disrepect. In fact I am 73 years old, spend 4 hours every week at the Elderly Citizen's club. I also volunteer every week my time entertaining Elderly people at the Council Elderly City hall. (Yes i am a muso)

And that is precisely why we will never cruise with Royal Carribean or Ovation ever again.
