There were no "kids programs" and we didn't see any families with young kids on board at all. There was a disco so there were some 20-somethings. The land excursions were great. It was a 7-day eastern Caribbean cruise. We had a junior suite with a balcony overlooking the stern.
We've been on a few other cruises since then but none have been as good. Also our last two were family cruises with extended families and their little kids, and arranging for everyone to do stuff together was so NOT fun it really kinda ruined it for us. We are hoping to some day afford a river cruise, and float up the Mississippi for 5 days.

Back in the day, the Norway was the cruise ship. I believe it was 40,000 tons.I sailed on one of their smaller ships in 1986 it was a blast. The ship was actually smaller than the life boats on modern ships.
