The only rubber on board will have been in the life jackets, I suppose.
I would never go on a cruise. Already in the harbor I get seasick.
It is to be expected. The only demographic one can expect to have the cash/time to take advantage of a cruise ship would be people old enough to stock away the cash. -And by that age, what else are they going to do with it? Save it for their future??? Give it ALL away to distant relatives?
Besides, that generation is the last generation to benefit from the economic middle class model born out of WW2. People and laws were generally fucked up, but at least the social structure was an environment that leaned towards higher and higher wages and benefits for the middle class. People had expectations of finding a good job and work their for the rest of THEIR ADULT LIFE. Imagine that. And they expected a wage that would be a living wage. Enough to pay the bills and set aside a little cash. And set aside they did. Which allows for the present day cruises.
Although their real growth in disposable cash came in the later years, their 50's thru 60's, when the perks of having the house paid off, etc. allowed for other things.
Now days, the model is so broken, it is a wonder who they expect will be taking those cruises. College costs are so high, you've got 20 somethings going into the workforce with tens of thousands of debt as the starting point. No one expects they'll be lucky enough to work a good job for the rest of their lives. And as for increasing wages??? That's crazy talk.
I don't know what they teach in business schools, but it sure ain't morals.

Most cruises are for an older crowd. Also escorted bus tours. If you're interested in a younger group, look for something more athletic.
I don't know about the gay cruises. Never did one. I expect they're "athletic" in a whole other way.

In the US you will find many families on popular Caribbean and Alaska routes in the summer. In late January through early March there will be a healthy contingent of 20 and 30 year olds (who don't have kids) taking a winter break in the warm destinations.
The rest of the year there are mainly older folks, mixed in with the occasional honeymoon couple. Any cruise that lasts more than 7 days will definitely be all older well-off or well-traveled passengers.
Gay tour groups will book passage on the big ships and offer their own gay-specific events for the group.
I did a Christmas cruise in 2000 and it was mostly an older crowd. I think kids would rather be home for the holiday to see their friends, so very few families were around.
Cruises can be a challenge for singles, since all accommodation is priced per couple.

The one cruise I know is The Rock Boat.

I heard one year they drank so much booze that they ran out and had to meet up with another ship to restock. Of course that's just what I heard.

always wanted to go on a cruise. what I make at my job barely pays the bills. plus now I have to pay extra for health insurance out of my own pocket. I don't make $1500 a month I can spare on health. I barely pay my $300 rent. Plus if all the cruise goers are that far up in age; most of them NEED viagra to keep it up. Not My Speed.
