Review summary
The ship was fine. The food was excellent. The service was fantastic. The only problem was most (like 95%) of the passengers were 70 or older. At 10:30 the place turned into a ghost ship. All food other than room service is shut down. The only thing open is the casino. After 11 days it was long and I was glad to be home. One problem was even with the older clientele was the saving/hording of deck chairs. They put their stuff on them then go to lunch or whatever for a couple hours.....not cool. Wouldn't have expected that from the older generation. The trip was quite enjoyable. There needs to be a happy medium ship for people aged 35 to 55. i was travelling with my spouse. The next option doesn't give you that choiceShip experiences

Ship tip
Never go to the Lido deck on any ship unless you like juggling your food while looking for a seat. Then when you set your stuff down to go get coffee the staff cleans the spot. It is a horrible way to wake up. We always have sit down meals or order room service.
