First of all, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Ben, I'm a 27 year old guy from Indiana. I've cruised once, back in 2000 aboard the Carnival Destiny. I'm busy with my career, but want to take some time and start cruising solo. One of the biggest reasons I want to cruise solo is to have the opportunity to meet folks from all different walks of life. I'm interested in meeting people of all ages, but would also like to ensure I will meet some who are of similar age to myself.
I'm considering a the Transatlantic crossing from Barcelona next November on the Epic. And I don't mean to offend anyone, because like I said, I want to meet people of all ages. But I was thinking and thought that cruise is likely to be filled with retirees only, due to the length and departure port. Or am I completely wrong. If I'm right, what routes are most likely to attract solo cruisers of similar age as myself?
Ben, I realize this thread is about 4 years old but I was curious to find out if you actually went. I’m in the same “boat”, cruised the Caribbean enough times and want to do something different. I booked a TA on the Epic for Thanksgiving 2020 at which point I’ll be 35. 🙈😬 I sailed on the Epic this past New Years and had a blast but a little nervous I may find myself by myself more often than not on a TA.
Do certain routes tend to attract certain age groups?
