Review summary

We booked this cruise for our honeymoon. We are 27 and 28 years old. The cruise was mostly empty and the people that did show up were 60-80 years old. So we didn’t really have the vacation vibe we were expecting. However we absolutely loved our waitstaff and room.

Glad you enjoyed most of it. It’s always a good idea to do research to know what to expect on the ship and what age of cruisers it is targeted to.
