Will you be cruising in 20 years?

[Mum2Mercury]

Of course!  I'm 56, so twenty years only makes me 76 ... maybe I won't be snorkeling or taking part in other strenuous activities, but I fully expect to be able to cruise.  I come from a long-lived family with great genes, and I take care of myself.  

 

My mom's turning 80 this year, and she walks every day and manages a large garden.  She might need a little more rest than she used to, but she could wheel her own luggage on /off without any difficulty.

Probably not, besides age we likely will have gone everywhere that we desire by cruise ship.  We had a big schedule last year and next year looks to be another multi cruise year.  At this pace we will be ready to fill the gaps with some intensive land based travel within 4 years.

See, I think the opposite:  I figure within 20 years, especially now that I'm retired, I'll have visited all the land-based spots I want to see ... and a cruise is just easy, especially if I opt for a B2B, so it would work well for an elderly vacationer.

I am planning on the 30 day stay for the future.  I also have to consider my DH’s choices - he prefers 30 days maximum away with as few flights as possible.

I shouldn't be dead yet, so, sure.

Probably yes, but maybe not as frequently. I've still got so many land based trips I need to do still too!

Probably less. Not an age thing for me it is just the types of cruises I am attracted to seem to be disappearing and I don't see the market coming back for them. Maybe if my industry had a big salary increase I would be able to afford the huge price increase of cruises itineraries I am interested in then I could possibly cruise more often😂.

Mr. SRQ and I will be in our mid-70s so assuming we're still in good health then yes, we'll still be cruising. My parents will both turn 80 this year and are leaving on a cruise with their best friends tomorrow. They're my role models.
