So in reading other reviews, it occurs to us that we are not the "typical" cruiser. We have only had one cruise previously (well actually one of us) and it was with Carnival to Mexico. We are mid-forties (traveling sans children), we aren't into shopping, learning about or buying jewelry, gambling or big-time drinking.
