We buy photos, take Celeb excursions, book spa treatments and Specialty dining. And a nice piece of jewelry now and then.. We have more time and money than when we were young! Seven to 10 days is a perfect cruise It is generalizing for sure, but honestly I think you are in the minority as far as your spending goes. I also have more money now and of course more time. So I take a lot more cruises- 7-10 per year rather than perhaps 1 or 2 at most. I never buy photos anymore, have learned to book my own excursions if any, save my spa treatment for half the price on land, and have more jewelry than I can ever wear. Everyone is different but I suspect there are more 60yo+ cruisers like me than you based on observation and conversations onboard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my gosh!!! We had the same carnival cruise experience in March 1991 (with 4 and 5 yr old daughters and early 70s in-laws). And don't omit the snorkeling cruises with very drunk guests. Vowed I'd never cruise again after that experience. Took DH 5 years of research, starting in 2002, to convince me to give X a try. Guess it worked. We just finished our 33rd cruise last week on Celebrity. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
