I wouldnt be as concerned with the older folks on board as I would the condition of the ship and lacking staff. My parents returned from Zenith the end of March (14 nite cruise). They've sailed her before and more than two dozen cruises in total, and this was by far the worse experience ever for them.

They had to be changed to 4 different rooms over the course of the first 3 days because of all sorts of things, (i.e. bad plumbing that backed up in their bathroom, leaving sewage and liquid coating the floor of their bathroom - that is in itself, gross), the staff was inattentive, the head housekeeper ignored them when they had a question so they had to repeatedly see the guest relations desk downstairs. Dad said it was very evident by looking at the ship that it was in dire need of refurbishing from bow to stern. carpet rolling/buckling,

anyway, I could go on and on. my parents love their cruises and they had fond memories of their prior cruise on zenith, but this was very discouraging for them and I hope I never have to endure all the things they went through on this last one.
