🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Taking a pay cut due to starting at entry-level salary — If you can afford it, it's fine; many older people are in senior positions.
Sharing a cabin and sleeping in a bunk bed — When younger, you're more willing to adapt; older individuals may prefer home comforts.
Having less energy as you age — You may not keep up with younger crew, but you can still work and explore ports.
