Review summary

It was our first cruise and we shared with another couple that had been on one before. They said it would be a special cruise due to the limited number of guests on the ship. It was quaint and very personable, we got to meet many of the staff members and share positive times. completing this first small cruise, I could not see myself going on one of the larger ships.

Glad you had a good time. It sounds like a unique experience that is probably quite different from a regular cruise ship. I wouldn’t rule out larger ships though. You may be able to enjoy them also.
