I always chuckle when someone mentions that they've got GAS (geezer avoidance syndrome).

 

I've spent a chunk of my professional life at sea. On one Pacific crossing, a series of circumstances, including outrunning a typhoon, found us on Saipan during a memorial celebration remembering the battle of Tinian and Saipan. At one particular event, I ended up seated next to a bunch of REALLY old geezers. As it turned out, one was a guy named Paul Tibbits (pilot of the Enola Gay) and the other was one of the last living Navajo Code Talkers (forgot his name but it might have been Chester Nez (he was the last one to pass away).

Yeah - those conversations were real yawners....

I always chuckle when people feel the unnecessary need to be condecending and supercilious. So many people on here have been kind and friendly. I am happy for you and your lovely conversations. My question was for peoples experiences on the particular ship that I am booked on. I was not targeting "geezers", if you notice I mentioned college kids (I used to be one, and still love to tie one on and act inappropriately at times) I mentioned young children (I have three and love them dearly) I also mentioned older people (I will be one one day and cherished my time with my grandparents) I also mentioned food (do I also have "FAS") That being said, it doesn't mean that I want to spend my first alone couple vacation in 14 years with any of those groups, or on a ship that caters predominantly to any of those groups. I want a ship that caters to my demographic and that is what I was asking about....others experiences on that ship and what it was like.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Yes it is a five night key west and Mexico. It is too late now to change, so I will go and enjoy it! I just needed talking off a ledge. I got nervous when I saw the negative reviews. I think it being spring break will help liven things up a bit. And this is my first time on Celebrity. Disney is our favorite (we have three kids and like the nicer ships, done Disney every year for past 7) I have been on a few Carnival without kids with friends and had fun, just wanted to step up a notch for our anniversary but still have fun. I have done NCL and was not impressed at all.

My husband (48) and I (39) are booked on Celebrity Constellation in a week for a kid free 15 wedding anniversary vacation. I am so worried now reading new reviews that it is going to be awful. Tons of older people and nothing to do with terrible food! Is it really that bad? I thought that it was a bit upscale is why I booked. I didn't want spring break college kids (carnival) or a bunch of kids (Disney and RC) I hate NCL and a bunch of seniors (Holland), so I went with celebrity, but now I am really worried! Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
