Sad, but forty years is generally recognized as the limit of the economic life of a passenger ship, and this ship is well into her 41st year!

Even if the ship were pristine structurally, her lack of veranda cabins puts her at a huge trading disadvantage.

 

Time and tide wait for no man :rolleyes:

 

Royal Caribbean's very first ship, the 1970 built Song of Norway is also ageing out of the marketplace in precisely the same way.
