Creator's Key Takeaways

If you are over 50, something that you should know is that not every cruise ship is going to be the best fit.

I am 54 right now. My husband Frank is 60 and I definitely have some thoughts on this.

Holland America is a very good cruise line for anybody that does have mobility challenges.

Princess Cruises has every other cruise line beat when it comes to technology with the Medallion.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose cruise lines that are adult-only or adult-focused for a more relaxed experience.
Consider the size of the ship; midsize or smaller ships can be better for mobility challenges.
Look for packages that include beverages, Wi-Fi, and specialty dining for better value.
Check older ship layouts for entertainment venues to avoid a sleepy evening atmosphere.
