I got the partying out of my system when I was in my 20s and 30s. Now, when I vacation, I like to r e l a x, see the sights, learn things, enjoy good food and good music. What I don't want is to deal with loud, poorly behaved, drunken fools and loud, poorly behaved, unsupervised children. Other than that, I don't care how young or old my fellow cruisers are!
I've been sailing on Holland America since my 30s and frankly will not cruise anywhere else. Never crowded, always a nice promenade to walk on, fewer chances of getting sick because of the full serve buffet; a great library, the best itineraries , great food , the music walk!! I could go on. I dont need 6 discos and a mega water slide. I want to feel like I am on a ship.
I really appreciate the fact you include downside aspects of each cruise line. It shows balance. 💕
Regarding Viking…it is an older crowd and no one under 18 allowed. Almost 2 years ago we sailed with Viking for the first time from Iceland to Norway, stopping in the Faroes. Oh wow! The scenery! The fresh air! The rough North Sea! 😁 The food was excellent, in the dining room you could be added to an occupied table or sit by yourselves. The crew was top notch. The cruise line doesn’t pinch you for every penny while onboard as the price includes almost everything, to include (European) Coke products. Access to the spa did not cost extra. The guest speakers were very interesting that left me wondering about my lack of knowledge about certain things…I mean, was I asleep in class when they covered xyz?!?! 😊 Yes, they are more expensive, but you really don’t pay for anything extra. Highly recommend!
I love NCL!!!!
Mid 70’s here. Celebrity and Viking are best for me
I love Princess cruise for the mature yet fun vibes
We enjoy Princess a lot, for us they provide a nice, relaxing atmosphere and great service.
Was about to not watch this until I remember I turn 50 next year.
My wife and I have over 100 days on Holland America Line and love the food. We are in our mid 60's. Celebrity is now our favorite cruise line. Scott
Holland American is one of 2 cruise lines that are allowed to sail into Glacier Bay National Park up to the tidewater glaciers. And they have a park ranger come on board. Also they open up the off limits front deck for glacier view while in the park. Our Alaska trip was 4 retired adults and 4 adults in their 20’s and a 37 yo adult. All enjoyed the cruise.
We love princess. In particular their mid size ships. Just left the sapphire princess. Food was great.
70 year old boomer here. Last Oct we did the Greek island/Turkey cruise on NCL and it was great. Good mix of ages and good overall entertainment. Did the club a few nights for old time rock and roll music. Excursions during the day.
I'm over 50 and I prefer Celebrity!
I'm 70 and my favorite cruise line is HAL. Also like Princess ❤️😊
Princess 👸 is the best .😊❤
Princess is my favorite cruised to Alaska and did a hawaii one balcony deluxe and premier pkg
Celebrity hits the sweet spot for me !
I love Princess for exactly the same reasons you did! That medallion system was fantastic! I did a 16 day cruise so really no kids, there wasn’t waterslides in the ship. Which I do like to do, but I don’t wanna deal with a bunch of snot nosed brats. I did a 16 day cruise through the Panama Canal on the island princess. It was fantastic!! I also love Norwegian for a lot of their cruise destinations and their shows and packages. These are the two that I’m torn between. I have a Alaska cruise on Norwegian coming up in September and a princess cruise in Japan on Princess. I’m excited for both!!
I'm 59 and cruise solo, my last 3 cruises and my next cruise is with Virgin Voyages. I like it that all food is included and of great value. I also enjoy the spa on the ship, though it is an extra fee. One thing in particular that has brought me back is the personal friendliness I've experienced with the crew. I've always felt well cared for and appreciated on board. Maybe that's because I try to respect and appreciate them for their service.
