Question

Going on cruise soon and was wondering what the party life is like?

Answer 1

It depends on the cruise line. For example Princess Cruises tend to have an older crowd. Carnival has the reputation for being more of a "party cruise ship." It also depends on the time of year you go. For example, spring break tends to be a big party time on cruise ships because the crowd tends to be younger.

It also depends on your destinations. For example , the Alaskan cruises might not have the party life you're thinking about, but the Bahama/Caribbean itineraries tend to have younger cruisers.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I think it depends on the itinerary and the mixture of people on board. I went on a carnival cruise and nightlife was virtually non existent, while on royal caribbean the club was always packed. Both were Caribbean cruises, and had a good mixture of young people. I think Hawaiian and Alaskan cruises seem to have more of an older crowd.
