Back to the original subject (if ptsong can get off his Celebrity bashing for just a moment). I agree with the rest of the folks who say your cruise is exactly what you make of it. I was on the Summit (Millie clone) for an 11 day cruise which was mostly made up of over 60's (I'm 37) and I had a blast. Sure there were the crankpots who always found something to get mad about or complain about, but we chose to laugh about them and how much money they were wasting being angry all the time. The ship is plenty big enough to avoid those people, and if you end up with jerks at your dinner table you should ask to be moved the next night. My husband and I took a tour bus excursion in Panama and got yelled at by 20 senior citizen co-passengers when we were 5 minutes late back to the bus at the canal, and we had to laugh. If you give people the power to make you angry and uptight you might as well stay home. Sure there are frustrating moments in any journey (my husband's luggage was lost for 3 days pre-cruise, but now we laugh about the paisley silk underwear and Corona beer shorts he had to buy in Ft. Lauderdale to tide him over because they were the only clothes we could find for him within walking distance of our hotel). All I can say is you have to work really hard to have a bad time on one of these ships.
