Cruising isn\u2019t just for kids, families and singles. If you\u2019re over 55, it\u2019s your time to get out there, enjoy the adventure of the high seas and experience shore excursions you\u2019ve only dreamed about. Today\u2019s cruises include crowds that are diverse in interests, ages and activity levels. Carnival has itineraries for some of the best cruises, not to mention Carnival\u2019s senior cruise discounts and deals<\/a>, designed to ignite everyone\u2019s passions and pursuits.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Your Time: Choose How You Want to Cruise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you prefer a smaller, more relaxed and intimate ship or a larger one where there\u2019s non-stop action for all ages? You may appreciate a smaller ship because there’s less square-footage to navigate. You may also love the lively and diverse fun of Carnival\u2019s family-friendly cruises, too, especially if you\u2019re part of a multi-generational family vacation. The size of the ship<\/a> you choose is an important part of an enjoyable cruise.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re planning a longer voyage, you might prefer a larger ship, like Carnival\u2019s new Mardi Gras\u2122<\/a><\/u>. Larger ships have more adults-only spaces and places to find time alone. You\u2019ll also find more dining, entertainment and activities options on larger ships.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a shorter sail to a destination such as Mexico<\/a>, you\u2019ll enjoy one of Carnival\u2019s smaller ships. A smaller ship offers a more intimate sailing experience and also means you’ll likely see many of the same passengers during your trip.<\/p>\n
