Had only ever been on one cruise before this 14 day trip, and it was a short trip from Florida to the Bahamas and back. This was a beautiful ship with great service and a great combination of younger hosts, hostesses, performers, servers from diverse backgrounds which made the travels even more fun. I and my partner went and got a special of 2 for one room, free airfare from the US to the departure city in Europe (Stockholm), and were upgraded from a balcony room with a wood/teak deck to a "penthouse suite" that was a bit larger, a bigger deck, with a butler! Unfortunately we were (both in our early 40's) youngest on the cruise by at least 10 years, and often 20 or more. I often felt as if I were travelling around with my grandparents and parents (ie, it wasn't a "love boat", but that wasn't what we had been looking for. The service was great, travel was wonderful, and we had lots of opportunity to strioke out on our own OR travel with groups. We did both, but were surprised at the high cost of some of the tours. But I would happily travel with the line again, and hope to soon.
