I for one have no idea what I would do. We have been doing this cruise thing for over 25 years. It is what we live for in some ways. Just waiting for that day can be fun. It is always to fast. We are 76 years old and we will do this until the day we can't get up the ramp and on the ship. WHAT ABOUT YOU ? How will you react to that day? Let it out.

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

I'd start booking tours with travel expeditions like G-Adventures and some all-inclusive resort stays. We've done both before we started cruising. I prefer the cruise, but there are other options.

I would be very very very unhappy. Then I would get my travel pad out and make a list of places I would like to visit and go from there. I really enjoy cruising, but if I didn't have it anymore I would find some other way to travel that I could hopefully come to love.

I would alternate between a beach vacation in the caribbean and renting a houseboat to cruise cruise the Intracoastal Waterway. Either way, I would be in or near the ocean !
Age and declining health are going to be a part of life. However, if the restrictions do come in, I will find another way to vacation. if I am able.

My Grandmom is 90 and healthy for her age. We were thinking of going on a cruise to Alaska. We went to a travel agent. I usually don't use a travel agent, but in this case I thought it would be a good idea. She suggested for her to buy travel insurance because of her age and was it ever expensive!! But travel insurance is very important. I met a man in the Rome airport and his elderly Mom got very sick on her trip and he had to fly to Rome to be with her. She had to stay in the hospital in Rome for two weeks! She had good travel insurance thank God! Maybe nothing like that will happen on your trip but better safe than sorry!
