It certainly feels as if they are taking us for granted. A lot of seniors love to cruise--I'm one of them. Seniors represent a good percentage of the cruising population. Why, then, don't we get significant discounts or perks, as big spenders in the cruise industry? Maybe we need a senior cruise line. One that caters more to our needs and wishes.
At the very least I think we should give more support to any cruise lines that value us senior cruisers by marketing for our attention. Those that offer senior theme cruises, amenities or price packages targeted at seniors. Which cruise lines do you think are the most senior-friendly?

I like Silversea and Crystal. I've also heard that Holland America is a good one.
ReplyDeleteYears ago the lines would not really accommodate people with a disability or mobility concern and seemed to discourage them from sailing. This is my opinion, just the vibes I got. And all the rules, please. I understand concern for liability. But I just did not feel the lines were that great in this area. Hopefully, things are better now.
