We went on this cruise because we were joining my brother & sister-in-law for their anniversary. We are in our 50's and traveling without children. We were not really impressed with this cruise. We've been on others that were larger ships and they had so much more to offer.

The staff were very good, friendly, and hard working. We didn't read the fine print that there'd be a corkage fee of US$15 for a bottle of wine brought onboard at embarkation, even if you were just going to drink it in your room.
