Well, most young folks (21 to 40 or so) have children in school and can not travel this time of year. Hence, lots of senior citizens on board (yes I am one). I wouldn't down grade the cruise experience because of that. Did you have fun? Was the service above average?

I cruised on the Ruby a couple of years ago. I hope the staff is better.

Good review! I find it amazing how I have read so many reviews that were so long it read like a telephone book and actually said NOTHING. Here, we have a review that is short, sweet and covers the cruise. Bon voyage.....
