Older crowd is where it's at. I'd much prefer them than the obnoxious younger look at me crowd.

Sounds like a good cruise to me. And I’m 31. The older crowd is usually much better behaved.

If you want a younger crowd go when school is out. Not when you went, either that or go on carnival they’ve more of a younger crowd. Personally I think the Escape was great and had a mixture of young and older crowd with great food and entertainment for all
