So what is actually like to be on a transatlantic cruise? Is it only for...the more senior folks?
Uh .... as a senior myself, I take umbrage - yes, umbrage! - at the implication that all seniors are, by definition, boring. In my long and well traveled life, I have met seniors who could put gen-xers to shame in terms of liveliness and fun, and young people whose lack of interpersonal skills and energy are, well, boring.

Just think of a trans-Atlantic cruise on a ship full of retirees as an opportunity to be entertained by the life experiences of the older generation.
