ummmmm why is this even important??? Age has nothing to do with it, but in our case (and probably many others) we cruise when we can (both time and finances and things happening within the family - which comes first and foremost) and if family things interfere with that or other circumstances, then so be it. Every year is different and I'm not voting b/c things change from year to year and its not important - we cruise when we can and when it works for us.
