On the Connie now for a six day holiday cruise. Do not fret, the ship is in good shape- not new but definitely well cared for.The food is not what it used to be however we are not going hungry. Upcharge lunch in Tucson on sea days is pretty decent and well attended. My husband had a filet and said it was good.We have a sunset veranda which has a very large balcony. The room is in good shape an a/c is great.
