while I possess culture and class, overall I didn't fit in with the clientele.

Review summary

Don't get me wrong, I most certainly love luxury. But the shipmates on this cruise were mostly wealthy CEOs, politicians, and even (NASA) scientists. I enjoyed interacting with the crew more than the passengers. So while I don't want a mass market cruise line, this was too stuffy for my taste. On the upside, it's all-inclusive cruising. No tabs, chits, or even (included) tips. It's 5 star dining and beverages. But I'll stick with the "premium" cruise lines like Celebrity and their specialty dining options and drink packages.

Entertainment

Smaller ship. Limited options compared to much larger ships. Entertainment really shouldn't be the highest priority for you on this cruise line.
