Senior Cruising

Cruises are often thought of as for mostly older people or honeymooners. But, actually, the average age of a cruiser has dropped from 54 to only 44 years old!

However, there are still a substantial number of older cruisers, and they greatly enjoy the longer ones, 2-weeks, 2-months, even 6-months! For that matter, the longer the cruise, the older the clientele. Generally.

Even specific cruise lines have a higher percentage of seniors cruising compared to other lines. Cruise lines such as Celebrity, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, and Seaborne are among the more senior-friendly cruise lines.

Holiday and vacation cruise schedules usually mean you will see lots more kids than normal. Several hundred, for that matter.

Usually, the ships have specific eating times. If you are used to eating early, or going to be early, adjust your clocks to the ship's schedules about a month before hand, to get used to the time change.

Because you're on a ship, people can't exactly go too far, so you're all pretty much stuck together. Make the most of it and talk to people of different ages. You will certainly get to know lots of great people, and they would in turn get to know you!

While the Love Boat may be only a television story, you just may fall for one of the gentleman hosts who dances with you nearly every night. However, you must always remember that they are there for your dancing pleasures only!

And since you're likely going to be cruising with your spouse of many years, why not renew your wedding vows onboard? Captains and cruise directors are often willing and able to help you arrange that wonderfully memorably ceremony.

Warning!

In some ports of call, cab drivers try to take advantage of seniors by charging them more than the promised fare. If you do have trouble with a taxi driver, contact a port agent.

No matter what things MAY happen, you will almost always have a wonderful time onboard a cruise ship. And if you are lucky enough to be a senior, you might even get a special discounted rate! So book today at www.kingarthur.myttn.com and let's reserve your next vacation!
