Review summary

Shipboard experience - lame at best. If your not into Ballroom dancing, then this cruise is not for you.  Daytime activities were extremely limited and it got worse at night.  Three things to do - dance, gamble, or drink.  Most of the passengers were sitting around the lobbies looking bored or stoned!  Most of the shows during the week were performed by the same performers. Same show with different costumes.  I don't go on vacation to dress up.  I don't mind getting dressed up once in a while, but every night made it feel like work!  If you spent time in your cabin, you saw the same show over and over again.  The only thing that saved the trip was the excursions!  They were fine.

I don't consider seminars an activity. Way too many of those.

Then read the guidelines on the website or in brochures. Cunard has always been a very formal cruise line. Not everybody wants multi activity cruises, hence people chose Cunard for what it is. It's all in the research and there's no excuse with social media these days.
