| First of all, be ready to get as many different replies as there are noters.
We all have our favorite lines/ships.
You have been on both RCCL and Carnival, and you know what type of person your
sister is, so you should be the best to determine which is for her. If your
just wondering about the age difference between the two, Carnival is most
definitly a younger crowd. But RCCL is not that old of a crowd. And regardless
of the age group, if you are out going, you will meet up with people who you
will have fun with. And keep in mind, as I think you saw, any given week could
find the either ship loaded with a mostly young crowd or a mostly old crowd.
I would not hesitate to recommend RCCL to anyone.

| Another thing that affects average age is length of cruise. Generally
the longer the length the older the average age. Carnival should
be younger on average than most. Destinations also affect age, example
cruises to Alaska would have an older crowd on average. A typical
3 night weekend cruise (Fri-Mon) would on average have the youngest
crowd, all other things equal.
But remember, if the ship holds 2000 people it is not always important
what average age is, kind of hard to be with 2000 people during cruise
unless round the world. But it does affect entertainment etc. like
you mentioned.
I am not sure but a cruise from Puerto Rico or other islands may be
a little younger with all other things equal based on the following
theory that I came up with.......totally unproven!!
Many cruises out of Florida when not at capacity just before departure
date fill up with retired Floridians who have the ability to
show up with little notice at the dock ready to go. Prices for these
are extremely low to fill the ship. The average person who can
typically take advantage of these would be retired living close to
the port.
