Economy Block

 

Heather’s been bugging us to book another cruise. It’s her favorite way to travel, and it isn’t hard to see why. Once you’ve made it aboard, you’re ON VACATION. You can visit any number of amazing places and only unpack once. But any cruises going forward, she’ll be traveling with people over the age of 65. That takes slightly different planning. Older people manage better on smaller ships. Twenty years ago, we deliberately hiked up and down stairs and jogged the promenade to offset over-indulging at the buffet. But our knees and hips are less cooperative now. We were quite content with an inside cabin on lower decks. Now, our happy place has a private balcony with an ocean view. On our first cruise, we were thrilled by the buffet and the busy pool with the jumbotron. Now, we’re happier with quiet restaurants, peaceful libraries and adults-only retreats. Maybe it’s time for an over-sixty cruise.
