I informally surveyed them during a Mediterranean cruise to learn what they like best about it. These ten reasons stand out:
ServiceThe staff is one of the friendliest and most helpful in the cruise industry.
FareThe ship (a luxury-upmarket hybrid) has a luxury feel at an affordable price.
Nearly all-inclusiveFare includes restaurants, house wines, waiter & cabin gratuities, and more.
ItinerariesLate departures and overnighters allow you to better experience port areas.
Dining venue variety
Ship sizeBeing mid-sized, it can offer big-ship amenities, but on a personal level.
CabinsWell appointed and laid out. 94% have ocean views. Nearly 70% have verandas.
Public areasThey are cozy, comfortable, nicely appointed, and relatively spacious.
Poolside ambianceBecause few if any children are onboard, screaming kids won't disturb your peace.
Fellow passengersYou rarely encounter inconsiderate, loud, or otherwise disturbing fellow cruisers.
LinesWhether for dining, disembarkation, whatever, they were short or nonexistent.
The ship is not right for you if ...
You're bringing children and
teenagers (there are no specialized programs or facilities for them)
You
desire activities like waterslides and glitzy Las Vegas style entertainment
You're
on a very tight budget
