Thank you, Hoyaheel . This is good information. The art classes especially would be right up our alley (especially during sea days). I do wonder whether we might not be better off tailoring a mid-level cruise like Oceania to our needs just a bit. Well, it's good that cruising is happening again, isn't it, and that we have the flexibility to think about these things.

We do realize that the mega ships, with the race cars and the rock climbing walls and such, sound like an awful lot of fun, but at our age and activity level, they just are not our cup of tea. We much prefer a ship that. has afternoon tea and lectures and classes and the like. Even a library appeals to my DH tremendously. And if you add in lots of good food, we are sort of in heaven.
