This ship has an interesting assortment of people and by this age, everyone has a story. We have the retired Broadway actress. She glides, free style but dramatically, around the dance floor wearing gossamer outfits that float behind her as swoops and twirls. She and her husband always come to breakfast in their robes. I considered that a little strange at first then I thought maybe these free sprits usually ate breakfast in the nude and robes were perhaps a concession for which we should just give thanks. We had lunch with a gentleman who was telling WWII stories, not as a topic of conversation, but relating first hand experiences and memories. Like the 93 year old lady that looks better than I and moves better than Jim, we continue to marvel at how active and engaged these folk are in their 80’s and 90’s. We are beginning to wonder if constant cruising casts some spell on you and you only age when you step foot back on shore! Not all our cruise mates however are that age, most are a “youthful” 60 or 70, a few are in their 40’s and 50’s with a couple of teenagers traveling with their grandparents. There is one gal about 30 in a wheelchair that is amazing. She is traveling alone, goes everywhere and does everything, with very little help and without complaint. Conversation with almost anyone on board is entertaining, at least for a little while. I will admit, the tape seems to replay with some of them if you linger too long.
