DDGHANSA, thanks for the comment. By today's standards very basic, however as you say a lot of character and time to relax.

The old cruise ships were limited to the essentials and had character. You could still relax there. The new cruise lines remind me of Las Vegas, pure commerce and entertainment. The times and the audience change and that's okay too.
