You did not do basic research to understand which brand of cruise caters to didferent clients. You went to one of the most scenic, beautiful & historic places on earth and were disappointed there were no go-karts? Cruising is not for you . There has to be a place somewhere that people who don't want to booze & party 24/7 can go to avoid the overstimulation of everyday life. You might prefer Carnival cruises for the atmosphere.
