Hi Works,

We just returned from our second cruise on the Millennium in May, and we were very satisfied with the entire experience. The ship and the ship's personnel were fabulous. We were not aware of any friction between age groups on board, and while there may be some bias towards older cruisers, there was really a good cross section of age groups. While we are a part of the older generation we found that most of the older cruisers we talked to were laid back and enjoying the experience. Cranky people are not just limited to an age group, and we didn't see any examples of this category.

As you may have noticed, the dining table assignments seem to be made with an effort to populate tables with persons of a similar age group, so if you are seated at a large table you will probably have contemporaries to socialize with. If you are in fact seated with persons that you are not compatable with the maitre 'd will be happy to change your assigned table. Please don't worry about someone spoiling your cruise, you will find lots of pleasant folks that are also interested in meeting new people and sharing their experiences.

Peter
