Our travel agent advised us that this cruise line attracts mature travelers. Being recently retired, I assumed that meant 50's and 60's. I think we were among the youngest ones on the cruise. Watch out for the ones on the mobile scooters! We saw maybe a half dozen children.

One of the best parts of the cruise was the unlimited laundry for $7 per day! The worst was their wifi access. It was very pricey and extremely slow.

The ports were nice and the tours were expensive but worth it to see the islands.

Smaller than some lines

Port Reviews

Half Moon Cay

Yoga on the beach was fun

Aruba

You can walk around a nice shopping area right off the ship

Curacao

The aloe farm was the best because someone from the farm gave a presentation. The other two places, you only had the tour guide to direct any questions.

Cartagena (Colombia)

Walking tour of walled city and fort

Colon (Cristobal)

We just got off the ship to walk around. Not much to see.

Puerto Limon

We had been here so many times we decided not to take a tour. Walked around but there was nothing to see. The last time we did a bus, train and boat tour which went to a banana plantation. That was interesting.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We live here. I recommend the sawgrass mills shopping tour or the Las Olas one.
