I've been on over 15 cruises, and most recently a transatlantic on the Connie. This 4 day cruise had an entirely different feel to it, passengers were younger, drank more and the energy was a bit frenetic. Services on the ship seemed to be minimized: no education at sea, Michael's pub is now a private club, no brunch buffet, food options and size of portions in the dining room reduced. Now plastic mugs in the dining room proudly display advertising, and flatware in the dining room did not always match. There were few books in the once good library. As always, wait staff and cabin attendant were first rate. Ship was clean, and carefully cared for.It is getting to look a little ratty in places. One sour note, this was a "NY Jets" cruise, something I didn't learn until after booking. Should not have been a big deal, but the room they reserved for there after dinner functions, was part of the space of the wine bar, where the classical duo were booked to perform. I'm a classical music fan, and was hugely disappointed that listening to the music proved to be impossible. Guest relations tried to help, but the management did not seem anxious to correct the situation. I will go back on the ship, but not a 4 day cruise.
