That’s not true, I see young people commenting all the time at what fun they are having. You have as much fun as you allow yourself to have. Cruising isn’t for everyone.

Looks like a troll trying to stir up ship. We've been on the Grand twice and once was to Hawaii. We didn't have an experience like this one. Maybe cruising is not for you and if your looking for a younger demographic to cruise with you should do your research! Romantik hit the nail on the head as in anything you do you make it fun and enjoyable or you can make it the worst time ever. One thing to remember about any review it's only one person's opinion!

Where does this reviewer get that tag 'Verified review'? This cruise is not even listed on the history in their bio. I'm noticing a trend with the most negative reviews posted by members with the shortest list of experiences. Hmm . . seems a bit shifty to me.

For first time cruisers understand that there are realities with ant cruise...shorter cruises will have a younger crowd than longer cruises...longer cruises cost more and require more free time...and this reviewer seemed dedicated to being miserable...this trip has many activities for every hour...or you can just relax...cruising is not for everyone...if your dream trip involves hours on a beach or being locked on to your mobile phone this is not your trip...but I have found it amazing to meet others...even if we are the youngest...and to be away from work for awhile...love cruising and love the Grand Lady

We have sailed on The Grand twice, both 10 days, within the last 13 months. Yes it’s an older crowd, as are we but not 70, but we loved every second of both trips. It’s a very laid back atmosphere which many people enjoy.

We are not even near our 70’s and loved this ship and the 15 day cruise. Sorry you didn’t find it relaxing and enjoyed as we did.

WHY GO ON CRUISES!!! We love this ship and do our planning. It’s the best! Everyone goes on a cruises to relax and enjoy yourself not to knock others so sorry for you .🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👍🏼💖🛳

It's the time of year. When kids are in school, the guests are normally older. We personally love to sail when there aren't many children.
