BND Posted July 8, 2020 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I've read a lot of crap online. Doesn't make it true. Not likely. Sorry, adults get to make the decision who they are with, and how exactly could they possibly do it? Gonna give wristbands out like they do to kids? We're both under 65, but this is ridiculous. 65 is also such an arbitrary number. If they really wanted to separate people for "safety", they should do it by health status since that really is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Fusion FoodsJ Posted July 8, 2020 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I've heard 65 and older will be given Suite's at interior Cabin prices and will all stay there......(I'm 65 and hoping anyway......) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I could live with that! But include the Deluxe drink package so I won't mind. AND include room service delivery of bar orders and I could stay locked up in the Suite all year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetz Posted July 8, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted July 8, 2020 And now can not find the link. Ugh I first heard of this from friends we cruise with. They have a Alaska cruise booked for June and they told us that was one of the new quide lines. They are under 65, we are not I will ask where he received his info 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cementhands Posted July 8, 2020 #18 Share Posted July 8, 2020 We’re both just over 65 and love younger active people. This would be terrible. But I can understand the logic. Over 65 higher risk factors. High blood pressure and cancer survivor and compromised immune system are key factors. Surviving covid19 can compromise lungs heart and the mind. Trying to avoid the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted July 8, 2020 #19 Share Posted July 8, 2020 They already tried that once, when we showed up at the pier, and they only had my wife listed in our cabin. 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefan0110 Posted July 8, 2020 #20 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I forget the exact article/section, but one of the recommendations in the EU return to cruising documents was to separate seniors. It was a recommendation. As said above, I can’t see any enforcement if people wanted to be with the younger group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I read has me thinking that people traveling together and staying in the same cabin could be together regardless of age (but with which group I'm not sure).

cruisegirl1 Posted July 8, 2020 #23 Share Posted July 8, 2020 So since i am under 65 but my spouse is not, I guess they will give us an extra cabin so we can stay segregated. I hope they allow conjugal visits. m 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why we moved all our cruises 18+ months out and have other plans this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
