July 9th 2009 Cruise questions

[IceGuy765]

How are you guys doing. I'm new to this forum and just have a few questions.
What do you guys think is the average age of this cruise line is.
My friends and I are all in our early 20's and we were hoping there would be a decent amount of people around our age on the boat. On our last cruise there wasn't an enormous number of people our age but there was definitely more then enough to have a great time.
Also hows the night life? We went on the Caribbean princess last year and the nightlife was amazing. We partied in the club until early in the morning almost every night and I think it would be a big disappointment to everyone if we went on RC and had a different experience.
And lastly does anyone else have this cruise booked yet?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Which ship are you cruising on?

I'm in my 30's but from what I gather there was a lot of the party people on the ship we were on. It looked like there was some pretty cool nightclubs also. We went on the Freedom last year. My husband was standing in line at the free ice cream machine and got an eye full. There was a woman right in front of him with her hiney hanging out wearing a thong bikini... so if that interests you any? There's something for everyone I think!

Wesnlin, just how fast did his ice cream melt?

IceGuy, welcome to Cruise-Chat! I think you'll find the night life just as amazing. It seems the average age is younger during the summer months. It also seems that there are more girls than guys—or maybe it's just that I don't pay much attention to the guys.

A travel magazine I get puts the average age of RCCL cruisers currently at 40, and at 53 for Princess. So overall you will probably find a younger crowd. My daughter travels with us and she is 20 and always seems to find people in their 20s around (you can get in the clubs at 18 even if you can't be served at the bar). I just grabbed the cruise compasses from my last cruise: Day one evening: Millionare Game Show, Welcome Aboard Show, Wine Tasting, Family Disco, Parade on the Promenade, Karaoke Kick Off, Movie time, 8-12:30 Dance music Deck 14, Piano bar 8;45-12, Guitar & vocals 9:30-12:30 a.m., DJ music at the Catacombs (a lively, young people spot) 11:00-LATE. DAY 2: Latin dance, Boleros 7:30-1 a.m., Dance music deck 14, Nightclub dancing with DJ Catacombs club 10:00-2a.m. Celebrity DJ 12:00-2 a.m. Karaoke & Boogie Bodies, On Air Club, Bar Managers Glow Party 11:15P.M. Catacombs, Search for Singles, Country "Name that Tune", Production Show in theatre, Battle of the Sexes game at the Sphinx DAY 3: Same as DAY 2 plus: Classic Rock name that tune, Margarita and Mojito Madness, 70s song tribute and parade, Dancin in the street 70s style, Adult Quest game show, Late night adult comedy in the theatre. Same as Day 3, plus: Big Band Dance Music in the Sphinx, Jazz Cabaret on deck 14, Love & Marriage game show, Outdoor nightclub poolside, DAY 5: Lots more of same.

Also the Freedom class ships have the flowrider going. Also always people in hot tubs having a night cap, many pubs and bars with no entertainment just a place to hang out and maybe play cards or dice--Remember the Casino is on board, and there is bingo almost every night (very fun, especially when you are playing to win a cruise!)If your friends don't have enough nightlife they are just not trying to have a good time.

O wow I could have sworn I mentioned that. I guess I was going to put it in the title but just forgot.
We'll be on the Explorer of the Seas on July 9th.
Thanks for all the replies guys.
