[QUOTE]Originally posted by dmwnc1959: [QB] Several years ago I was on the [i]California Zephyr[/i] and out of Denver we picked up a very large group of teenagers and travelling companions. A very large group. It was awful. A nightmare. And one one experience with a northbound [i]Coast Starlight[/i] the patronage in my car appeared as (not to be mean) 'the smelly homeless' and grunge rockers. And yet another experience crossing on the [i]Empire Builder[/i] I swear I was travelling with a group of backpacking Nomad vagrants. If I judge travelling by Amtrak by those experiences I too would say never again. But I was smart enough not to. And kept on travelling. I've been on 5 cruises to Alaska: 2 on Princess, 1 on Holland-America, 1 on Cruise West and 1 on Celebrity. From 1983 to 2004 I have been on a total of 29 cruises, year-round; holiday sailings, mid-Summer and Fall sailings, off-peak January sailings, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska, New England, and Mexico. I have also been on cruises that were as long as 11-days. I dont recall [i]any[/i] of them having a majority of older pace-maker driven passengers. But again a [i]single[/i] vacation cruise experience, an experience where an individual has had only [i]one[/i] sampling of what the cruise industry has to offer and on [i]one[/i] cruise, and judging the entire cruise industry by the patronage on that [i]one[/i] sailing, is a bit narrow minded to make such a finite judgment on. But people do. My friend did, about Amtrak. [/QB][/QUOTE]
