Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a senior but I'm not that kind of senior which Cruise Line is right for me

I detest the generational labels that get thrown around these days with the Boomers and the Millennials and gen Z

One remarkable area of growth that I'm seeing right now in the cruise industry is travel with the baby boomer parents and the generation ex- children

timing is everything when it comes to cruising not only will it potentially save you money but you're going to get vastly different people on board

βœ“Establish what's important on board a ship before making your selection
βœ“Plan to travel when school isn't on vacation or when there aren't major holidays

YouTube Video Description↓

What you are looking for in a cruise line at 55+ could be vastly different than what others are looking for. How to I see if Princess, Holland America, MSC or other cruise lines are right for me? Should I be looking at Luxury Cruising like Silversea, Explora Journeys, Regent or Ritz Carleton Cruises? The stereotypes about senior travelers onboard cruise ships provides such poor information to the cruising public, things have changed! Some cruise lines aren’t just for seniors while others highly depend on the time of year, length of cruise and other factors. ---- CHANNEL & CONTACT INFORMATION ---- ** Please note unless otherwise noted, my videos are not sponsored either by the brands depicted or by other brands unrelated to the video. ** "Tidal Horizons - Cruise & Travel" is for informational and entertainment purposes.
