Thanks for all of the comments.

We booked on J406 at the end of May

many thanks for the replies, none of which have accused me of being ageist .... YET!

I see that there is no nightclub, so does that mean there is no music / dancing after midnight? Presumably there is no DJ to entertain us at a sailaway party?

We hadn't really considered th early retirees, silly really as we fall into that category too!

We certainly feel a bit more confident about booking. Probably J406 in May.

I called P&O today to enquire about cabin availability on Arcadia. The guy I spoke to was very chatty and clearly wanted to sell me the cruise. I asked him what he thought was the highlights of the ship and he asked me my age. When I told him we are in our 50's he said that Arcadia was Adult Only (which I knew) and then said that he shouldnt really comment on the age of the majority of Arcadia passengers but then said that there would be virtually no passengers below the age of 65 and most much older.

We have cruised on both Aurora and Oceana and know that there are many "senior" passengers. We are in our mid 50's and have no problems with this. It makes us feel younger! Our experience is that there are also plenty of other passengers in their 40's and 50's or even younger.

I'd welcome other cruisers comments. Its making us have second thoughts about booking.

We are thinking of Arcadia to Central Meditteranean over Easter. The cruise looks good value as its £600 cheaper than an identical cruise 6 weeks later. We are trying to think of any dissadvantages of travelling at this time that might reflect on the price, but cant think any. Wondering if anyone can think of any....

Easter day is a sea day so no fear of a city being closed

Its an adult only ship so no children on holiday, although maybe the odd teacher on board (I didnt mean teachers are odd!)

Weather in Med should be pleasant in April

Thanks

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll just have to spend it!

With some generous OBC deals at the moment, do we lose any that is not spent at the end, or can it be carried over to another crise?
