adidas5676 Posted April 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2020 There are a lot of age-based questions and topics here so it will be interesting to see what age groups are represented here. I get the feeling that this group is pretty skewed in certain age groups but let's find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted April 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I voted as boomer as by born in 1964. But because of school year calendar cutoff, I actually started a year later with people from 1965. So I really identify as Gen X. Can I re-vote? Or can you move 1 vote to Gen X. Thanks in advance. I take these polls very seriously. Edited April 10, 2020 by HBE4 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take these polls very seriously. I also developed a complex from this poll too. I have always identified has a GenX b/c of my grad year and now I'm being told I'm a millennial...wahhh!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted April 11, 2020 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Not surprising for the majority. It's the age group with the most disposable income. Empty nesters, a lot of retirees, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up the definition of seniors. 50+ you get AARP, 55+ communities are senior citizens, and RCCL's current policy is no 70+. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents who are healthy, were born in 1937 and are 82 years old. Once you get to 85+, not many cruise. I could have predicted the baby boomers would be the highest number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion that started this poll was about seniors and the 70+ doctor's note requirement. What again is considered a senior citizen is widely debated but 65 has always been the most recognized age. I know of no one who would consider anyone in their 50's to be a senior citizen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired 3 years ago, You are older than I am, but not by much. I retired about 20 yrs ago. 😄 I don't consider myself a senior citizen at all and have a hard time thinking I am ready to move into a 55+ community. Maybe once my DH stops working I will feel differently but not at this point. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I technically quit, but whose counting😉 Had spinal surgery the week after retiring, mobility is about half what it should be so I aged really fast. Both thankful and grateful I can still walk. Pretty sure I'll fit in very well in the new enviroment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL themselves consider anyone 55+ a senior, and you receive a senior discount when booking a room. Your age is just a number, and it does designate you a label-just like any other age group. But your age doesn't define how you feel. I know 85 year old's who have the spirit of a 25 year old. And I think that's wonderful....however for this purpose of this poll, seniors are the most represented group on this message board-and nothing wrong with that.

I knew you had surgery from some of your reviews, didn't realize you were still having mobility issues. Best wishes on the new house and relaxing environment. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare allisonb22 Posted April 11, 2020 #22 Share Posted April 11, 2020 i am definitely an outlier here (turned 21 in jan, born in '99) and on CC in general but i love cruising I could read these threads all day! my little escape from school. i can't wait for the day i can retire & just cruise, cruise, and cruise! 😉 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
