Review summary
Cruise was full of very old people with walkers, scooters, oxygen masks, etc.
Music is from 40s and 50s, no entertainment for younger people (my 70 yo mother was with us and thought that the place was very depressing!). Most of the shows are for very old people as well. And you need to be in the theatre at 7:20 to get seats for a 8 pm show.
Club 6 was terrible and empty. DJ Shea was awful. Most of the people were there for discounted drinks at 11 pm. Nothing to do anywhere else after 10 pm when kids are finally asleep.
No pool for kids under 4 feet tall. No sprinklers were on for 4 days at sea in the middle of the pool area. No music at the pool either.
Adult pool looked nice, but I didn't have a chance to go there.
A lot of sunbathing space/chairs on sun decks.
Restaurant food was very mediocre (to my very big surprise!). Breakfast was crowded and chaotic.
Fairly new ship with no wow interior - only one fairly small pretty area in the middle. Also very shaky compare to 4 other cruise lines we used before (both big and small ships), 4-5 nights out of 11 it was very hard to walk around or sleep and there were no rough seas.
