Creator's Key Takeaways

i did it anyway because i was intrigued to find out if cruising on a line where you have to be over 50 is any different

the wi-fi was not that good so for example you couldn't really use a lot of social media

make sure before you go on any new cruise line and any new ship you check out in huge amount of detail exactly what is on the ship

the actual overall program was pretty much the same

YouTube Video Description

I went on a cruise where you had to be over-50. This over-50s only cruise taught me three big lessons about cruising that I had not thought about before. Theses three tips are things every cruise passenger should do before they switch or try and new cruise lines, especially if from a cruise line that you really enjoy. If I had done these three things I may have made a very different decision before going on this Saga Cruise. I paid for this cruise myself. I mention this as people, ask if I don't say it!
