I thought the ship was beautiful. The staff we dealt with was above average. We thought the food was above average, (except for not having a free lobster night). The buffet was quite large but the juices were deluted and they had the same things every day which got old. We thought there needed to be more activities. When you look at the daily activitiy schedules on this cruise line and compare them to other ships, there is quite a bit more things to do on other ships. We won't be going on this cruise line again until they have more activities like maybe a comedian or different performers. There was to much opera for me. The Pirate show was good but there was quite alot of lip syncing for this show and the Michael Jackson show. The staff said that this cruise had 1/3 U.S. citizens, 2 Asians, and the rest Europeans. The average age was 56. We found that there were more rude fellow cruisers on this ship. Probably because there was no comedy shows
