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.
Hehe, thanks. I think I should clarify. Its being stuck on a ship for almost a week without any other port visit that is boring, not stuck on a ship with seniors that is boring .

I sure don't mind exchanging life experiences with seniors, some of it can be quite enlightening and you could learn a thing or two from the elderly. But it gets kind of old having to listen for the umpteenth time about "Back in my days" or "When I was your age" blah blah blah.

What I'm trying to say is whether QM2 offers event or shows that can appeal to a broad range of age group and not just to the retired demographics.
