# previous cruises: 1
Date of Trip: November 27, 1999
Itinerary: Caribbean - Eastern
The people on this ship are old! I'd say 75% of the guests where
over 65. We were given an inside cabin with twin beds. We had requested a
queen. They did not give any satisfaction. So we dragged the mattresses onto
the floor each night for two nights. Finally they sent up a carpenter to
remove the bolted night stand to a far wall & pushed the two twins together.
No room had any particular identity.
Service was fair/good. If you asked for something that they hadn't heard of before, the whole system gets involved
Once the room was put together, it was fine.
Being my first cruise and living in Manhattan, I'd say the
entertainment was 6 Flags/Great America level.
Nassau-don't ask why stopped there. Oh, yeah, to disembark one of the seniors who cashed in her chips in more way than one at the casino
the first night our. Puerto Rico- complete waste
Half Moon Cay-loved every minute!!
The vast majority are over 65-I'm 46- what do you think?
