Seniors only Cruise???? - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

Would you go on a seniors only cruise? Say if the age was 55 and over and one of couples had the be at least that age. (this would enable the partner of the 55 year old, if one was younger, to come along too.) And no kids!
I'm not sure I would do this unless it was a HUGE discount.

Just a thought to get this senior topic going...

Sounds like my style! When you find one, sign me up. Wait a minute! That sounds like just about any HAL criuise, and any cruise on any line that is more than 15 days.

Yes, I agree. As an envious non-senior, isn't any cruise of 14 days or more virtually kid-free?

Haven't cruised HAL but did notice very few kids on 15, 11, and 10 day cruises. Also our Alaska cruise seemed to be a senior one. At age 50 I was one of the youngest on board, except for the crew!

If the ship is a desirable one, if the itinerary is exciting, if the price is right -- yes, I'd go on a senior only cruise. But not because it was senior only.

As with any booking it would depend on Brand, Itinerary, and since it is a "theme" Cruise I would want to know who the entertainment would be..

If 2 out of those three came back Positive I would be willing to book. To be honest I couldnt tell you what the average age of the people we cruise with now is... so I don't see where a "senior cruise" would be a negative, however I will say the wait staff seem to be getting younger !

come to think of it...if they are all crotchity and complaining about everything like many were on our last cruise.....I don't think I could handle a whole ship full of them!!!!

Some of the biggest complainers I have run into have been in the 40=55 group!!

MOST of the biggest complainers we have run into on a cruise aren't kids......but seniors...........

We would not at this time Carol..........but would consider it in the future

Well, the folks who got kicked off the Sensation weren't seniors. I'd hope that with age comes added common sense, but I'm probably wrong. Would I go on a senior's cruise? It totally depends (no pun intended) on where it goes and how much it costs. That sounds pretty much the same as now.
