My honey and I began our cruising days in 1974 with Holland America and we are still two very happy cruisers. Over the years we have tried other lines out of curiosity,but return quickly to what we believe to be the best in the business!!

I am 67 and my partner was 72. I have been on two NCL cruises to Alaska. For the most part great experiences! Never had to wait more than a few minutes to get into any other restaurants. We like the freestyle dining and never had any problems with crowds. We like the fact that we did not have to dress up. So for us, it was a great experiences both times.

Fell in love with going on cruises age 65 when we went to Galapagos on a 16 passenger ship through Adventuresmith. We then did 3 trips to Alaska on a 12 person ship. We then started cruising with Lindblad - biggest ship was 148 people. Love Lindblad. These were obviously all expedition cruises - only type we’d do. We’re now 80.

My wife and began cursing 2023 . We have 5 cruises under our belts all on carnival. Two of the largest, Mardi Gras and Horizon. Small size Glory and smaller Paradise.<br>We are 60+ and we loved all the ships with Horizon being my favorite and Mardi Gras hers ❤

We are 71 and 70, we only cruise Celebrity, and usually in the Retreat. As we raised our family it was always Royal Caribbean. But now the kids are taking their kids in Royal Caribbean, we switched to Celebrity around 60.

I'm 70. I fell in love with cruising in 1990 when my company chartered the biggest ship of the time, Sovereign of the Seas. We did more charters on different RC ships and I loved them all. In my 40s, and one more time in my 50's I tried Princess. It was fine, but from me, no real accolades. One time our neighborhood took a Carnival cruise. It was a cruise, but not one I ever needed to repeat. Then, coming out of the pandemic, and now in retirement, I fell in love With Celebrity, especially in The Retreat. All 6 of my Celebrity cruises has staff, on the 2nd day, know my name, tasted, cocktails, etc. Number 7 is coming up soon. But I'm anxious to try number 8 after that. Oceania Vista for 18 days in the Panama canal. I will not sail with Viking. They look great but demanded full payment more than a year out. That's a dealbreaker for me. Great comparison video. I loved it.
