Somewhat value conscious. Traveled with 2 sets of non-English speaking in laws. That cut down on some of our food and entertainment options, but overall, a good first cruise experience.

The Good - Very good entertainment, shows, music in lounges, games in lounges late at night. Fire and Ice was really rocking with their Motown set, and Jeff "The Juggler" Tavvegia had a fun lecture on WC Fields and a juggling workshop. Friendly, informative, and timely housekeeping staff. If you can schlep your own bags and are an early riser, very fast disembarking ( Disembarking started at 7:45, members of our party caught a 8;19 train from Penn Station)

OK - Inner cabin, small library, gym, and card rooms. Food in non-premium rooms get very old after 5 days, getting a bit bored days 6 and 7. The exercise classes tend to start late and end early. Could not make one of the ports as the water was too rough for the tender ships. Read more
