HC2023 Posted June 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi all! New to cruising but after a glowing review from a colleague we are thinking of a Celebrity Cruise next year on the Beyond. We are late 20's/early 30's and just wondering if we will feel out of place (? too young) on a cruise. We like laid back experiences, notreally into crazy partying (I am usually in bed by 11pm haha!) and usually our european holidays are 5* resorts. We love sightseeing, relaxing around the pool and nice bars for drinking cocktails. Just hoping that we will fit in and not feel too young! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCPIV Posted June 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I don't think so. There's no doubt that Celebrity passengers trend older than some other lines, but we've seen plenty around 30. You'll be fine and have a great time! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pennstatedj Posted June 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Generally if it a 7 day cruise of less you will be great. You will enjoy the E class ships. Have fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted June 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I doubt you will feel out of place. Celebrity has a nice mix of all ages. Longer cruises 14 days plus have a tendency of having a higher age demographics because younger cruisers often have limited vacation time. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at an 11 night one in the med next summer. We are lucky we get quick a generous annual leave amount. I love the itinerary and my other half is happy as long as he is well fed and watered! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkystheLimit Posted June 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2022 There were many in their 20's and 30's on our 6 day cruise last week. Agree with others that the longer the cruise the older the passengers tend to be. That said, there was an 85 year old woman on our cruise that ran circles around everybody onboard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Fly and Sail Posted June 21, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2022 You'll be fine. Celebrity has a healthy mix of all age groups. In fact many X cruises such as the New Years Caribbean one last December had quite a young demographic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellsbells3032 Posted June 21, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I was similar to you and cruised a number of cruise lines in my early 20s to 30s - never felt out of place even on the ships with older crowds - I always found everyone friendly to me cos I was one of the youngsters on the older ships. But celebrity is one of the younger ones and we certainly never felt out of place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted June 21, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I don't think you will at all. My first Celebrity cruise was in my early 30's. We are definitely towards the younger end of the crowd but the average age also isn't 80 either. I think Beyond will still tend to appeal to some younger guests which may bring down the average age a bit more too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin23 Posted June 21, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Absolutely no way will you feel or look out of place. Quite the opposite. You get a broad mix of demographics on most cruises…book it I am sure you will love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been on many port intensive Med 11 nighters, while you might be younger than many of us, I think there might be a few nights when you may be just as tired from experiencing so many fantastic life-time memories!!🤩👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted June 21, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2022 My kids are in their mid 20s and LOVE Celebrity. Actually, after sailing on many others brands, they sailed on Celebrity for the first time in their early teens and it’s all they have sailed since. You will be fine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted June 21, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Same with our kids. Started as Teens and love it now as adults. They also have careers that have Lots of time off and they cruise when they can. And Celebrity is their pick. And OP, the description of what you enjoy lines up with the Celebrity crowd a good deal. More low key, can entertain themselves and don’t need ‘Hairy Chest Contests’ or Gonga lines and so on. What’s neat about the Euro cruises is lots of Europeans on them also which makes life so interesting. Come join us! den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfhngr Posted June 21, 2022 #14 Share Posted June 21, 2022 You should feel right in. We just got off of a 10 day Euro cruise, I was surprised as to how many younger ones there were. We're in our 50's, and I enjoyed the variety of ages. If you like pool and drinks, then it should be ok. The ONLY thing, the music by the pool, IMHO! Older stuff, if you don't mind, then great, if you do, take earbuds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted June 21, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Put it this way....this 34 year old has been cruising on Celebrity since she was 5 and never felt out of place once! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going on a Med cruise, the demographics are so much more diverse including all ages and Europeans. You won't be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted June 22, 2022 #17 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You shouldn’t. We met a 20-something couple on our RCI Alaska cruise. They were only sailing RCI to attain D+ status…and were headed back to Celebrity, which is their favorite. We chatted some, they find that Celebrity fits their lifestyle best and really love Celebrity! Hope you have a great cruise. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowballs mom Posted June 22, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 22, 2022 My daughter and her friend are both 28. Celebrity is their favorite cruise line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted June 22, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 22, 2022 HC2023, welcome to cruise critic. You will learn a ton of things on here. I don't think you will feel out of place on Celebrity at all. I wish I could change ages with you and do it all again. Enjoy your cruise and book another while you are on board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted June 22, 2022 #20 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Even if you're one of the only younger couples on the ship, you'll find nearly all passengers will be to be welcoming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(both the same class--Eclass) We are in our 50s. But we discovered Celebrity 8 years ago in our 40s after sailing Princess, DCL & RCCL. We find the service & food to be a step up on Celebrity from other main stream lines. We found the average age to be a bit younger on Eclass ships than other Celebrity ships. We find Eclass ships to be AMAZING--absolutely gorgeous. Met the nicest couple in their 30s last summer on the Edge & they are hooked on Celebrity. If you like sightseeing, relaxing by the pool & nice bars--you are in for a treat. Edited June 22, 2022 by KKB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algebralovr Posted June 22, 2022 #22 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You’ll be fine! My daughter and her hubby are sailing on Celebrity Beyond to celebrate her turning 29 and Elite on the same cruise. We took her on her first Celebrity cruise at 20 in 2014. Took her and her BF on a holiday cruise in 2015. They bought their own honeymoon on Celebrity. Folks of all ages are on Celebrity cruises. There will be fewer younger folks on longer cruises, but anything 10 nights or less? You’ll be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny01 Posted June 22, 2022 #25 Share Posted June 22, 2022 And as to age…….I may be 76 but I’m still a young man, at least until I have to pick something up from the floor! When I’m driving along and some old man is driving the exact speed limit in the left lane and I glare at them as I blow by and yell, to myself just in case they are armed!, “You Old Geezer!!”……then i catch the sight of my balding grey head in the rear view mirror…Oh well. I love talking with the younger generations, they have so much to share and make me think more. So come join us and lets enjoy! den 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
