OK, typical cruise fare.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Bingo was expensive, and didn't get good attendance, therefore smaller winnings. One activity was billed as "ballroom dancing" Our expectation was there would be a teacher there. All is was was piped in music for you to dance too.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Did several of the stage events, which were all good. Enjoyed the "Billboard Onboard" piano duo the most.

no children, average age on cruise was 68

mostly nice. On the eighth night, our room was flooded. (bed, draperies, etc) Was resolved next day by moving us to an upgraded cabin.

Glad you enjoyed and sorry for the flooded room but I’m sure it was nice for the upgrade.
