We are a still working couple (55 and 53 years old) who are just beginning to cruise. The ship had many older travelers but we also found many travelers in mid-50-mid-60s that were active and social. We didn't see too many children or teens on this boat.

Except for three straight days of rain in St. Petersburg, there is little to complain about with this cruise or ports. The food was great and with servers serving you at the buffet, there was some sense of portion control. Everyone was very pleasant - servers, housekeeping etc. Four specialty restaurants were very good, with Reg Ginger our favorite. Embarkation was easy and as individuals disembarking, we were the last set of bags to be ready at port. We took an uber to the train station ($30) vs. taking the cruise line's VERY expensive transfer to the airport or downtown.

Shows were a bit amateurish, but enjoyed the magician. With shows starting at 9:30pm, we were only able to catch a few shows since our 8pm dinner reservations typically ended after 10pm.
