Alaska cruises...only old people?

I am going on a Princess cruise to Alaska next year and I heard that only old people go on those cruises...is this true?

I really hope there's other teenagers there...

Thank you!Alaska cruises...only old people?
Although there's no guarantee that there will be other teenagers on your cruise, the likelihood is high that there will be! It may have been true 15-20 years ago, today, it's not just old people who cruise to Alaska. There are young families, multigenerational families, couples, people of all ages on Alaskan cruises, including teenagers.
Don't worry about it. The point is to see the sights along the way, and enjoy the ports you visit plus taking some tours to see more of the area. Onboard activities are only there to keep you occupied until the next port. The cruise is also a great time for family togetherness. ... and meals and snacks occupy some of your time.



FYI: Holland America Lines does have a reputation as a more sedate, mature line, but that does not stop my whole family ( ages 8 - 88 ) from enjoying the many trips we have (as various groups) taken to various points and sites in Alaska.



It is a great experience!Alaska cruises...only old people?
No.



There are ALWAYS teens on board, even on the cruise lines that are supposedly for "old fogies" and even on cruises longer than seven days. Some of them don't know how to behave, if you can believe it!

The last cruise we were on, the Captain actually threatened to have them put ashore at the next port, they behaved so badly.
No, I can speak from experience when I say that there is a wide variety of people of all different ages on cruises to Alaska. On my last cruise the ages varied from infants through younger children to teenagers covering the entire spectrum from 13 to 19.
