It was our first "luxury" and small ship experience for our 25yr wedding anniversary and my 45bday 🙂 we were actually pretty worried about the ship being too small and too many "older" people but it turned out there were a lot of young couples honeymooning or like us doing an anniversary trip. It ended up being perfect. I must say though that we waited a few more years before we did the next small ship and then more years before we tried YC in April of this year. It has definitely been a progression for us. In between we've enjoyed our Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity cruises each had their own pluses and minuses as well as lots of land based trips as well. We love to travel and really aren't tied to one cruise line, one place, etc. Just want to keep experiencing the world.
