We did a week long cruise in January

Yes what you describe is accurate however we saw a different show every night, three or four comedy shows, had the unlimited drink package, enjoyed a fully equipeed gym that was every bit as good as our local gym, a running track that circumvented an 1100 ft long ship, got to see a private island in the Bahamas, Nassau, Cozumel and Costa Maya.....on the excursions you could get as active or inactive as you wanted

Would do it again in a heartbeat....and there is no need for some fancy room......you literally sleep in the room, so why bother? We had a balcony and that is literally all we needed....

Literally saw people of all ages, all persuasions, and thankfully being the third week of January not too many little kids
