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.
