    Last year we traveled Celebrity to the southern Carribean and we were among the youngest on the ship (63 at that time). We were quite surprised. Another cruiser explained that when you find a cruise longer than 7 days, the travelers tend to be retired as that is who has that kind of time available.

    One more bonus: For each dollar you spend staying at the hotel (any hotel, doesn't have to be a Holiday Inn), you get bonus points. These add up and can be used for FREE nights or towards airplane tickets, so overall, it actually costs you less.

    Oh and the nice thing about all this? You don't have to be retired to do it.

    My son always reminds me that whatever I do, I'm picking my nursing home - meaning, if I'm really nice, I get to go to a good one!

    Sounds like reasonable expectations. and in most rooms there is a desk for our sewing machines! Didn't think I was going there without one did ya?

    Been trying to find away to take one to heaven with me, do ya think they have sewing machines there too?

    I just need one large enough to fit my longarm in the room too! Guess I'll be stuck on one ship so I better find a good one with lots of other quilters. :idea: Could make my frame smaller and put locking wheels on it, right?

    The more we talk about this, the better it is sounding!!!
