What would you do if you were told you can't cruise anymore because of your age and health ?

This was a great thread I think...but upon reflection, the fear of not being able to cruise because of those pre-existing conditions including age will be left where it belongs...on a personal level between you (the person in the mirror) and your MD....a shot card would be a reasonable reg....and possibly legally sustainable....other than that....cruise on!

No big deal. Read more books, paint, play stupid video games, or just travel the "old fashion" way.

Or buy a yacht and sail myself.

I might look into all-inclusive resorts.

I like that plan! Can I join you?

On the first cruise I was on, I met a mother and daughter who had been on many cruises together. Mom was 100 years old, and I met them in a lounge where mom was dancing to the band's music. That's the old person I want to be!

I don't think such a situation would be possible, but I think I would be very upset anyway.
My family and I love to travel and we do it quite often so it would not be normal for someone to forbid us to do so without a very good reason.
Last time we were in Lisboa and we really liked it. We turned to a company with the help of which we visited many beautiful places there that we did not know if we did not turn to them. From what I understand, they provide services in any country so that if any of you need it, they can leave their site here https://tripduck.com/corfu/

It would be very unfair.

As for rejecting someone for health, I’d expect a chance to have a physicians note as to health.

i assume that this question includes problems with health evaluations with COVID. And, for that matter, the statistics about age and health ... but those s are changing and the percentage of deaths has just dropped from 25% to 7%!

I think age is the wrong discriminator. Recently, I saw an age restriction, 72, on a bike tour. Supposedly because of insurance. While I might not consider the tour I know several 85 year olds that are definitely able to do the trip! While I know people over estimate their skills, at times, just take them to the gym and let them prove their ability don’t just out and out right dismiss them. My Dad used to love cruising just for the dancing in the evening. He stopped because of other issues but I’d have hated to see him kept from cruising because someone thought he should be too old! Geez!

For the record my step mom lost her husband in Barbados to a heart attack while on shore. They were going down an escalator in a hotel, he collapsed at the bottom. They were in their 60s at the time.

Ultimately, lowering the age removes clients that often most afford the expensive ships!

Great question, first, yes would be pissed. Then would take my $ and do all inclusive resorts or hop on whatever flight we liked that is on special and explore new cities.
