The list that Ranger had above is all teens, but I do believe that we have alot "elders" posting frequent too. To name a few: Ocean Liners, Malcolm, sympatico, PamM, Draikar, and many more. I appreciate everyone here sharing their memories onboard their favorite ships, answering my questions, and exchanging information so we all know more about ships.

In the USA it's hard to tell. One can vote (with a few exceptions) and fight in combat at age 18 but many states don't allow anyone under 21 to drink.

I strongly think an Adult Cruiser Forum should NOT happen here. When there is the "adult-only" words, teens will try to get their way in. I am 15, but I am good. Like on a cruise, when there are adult-only activities, how often do you guys see teens trying to get their way in? I saw it quite alot including the friends I met onboard...

Now that's showing that you are really mature! Why not just ignore them? When you act the same way as these "old" passengers, you are no different from them.
I have seen participate in activities many times with the "older" folk and have a lot of fun.

Don't understand your question. What do you mean by crackers "bag" ?
I agree with you that those "old" folks probably shouldn't have given you the "look", but you have to understand that some "old" folks are just funny that way They forget that they were kids once and I bet they probably did a lot worse things than you and your friends did on the ship. Next time just smile at them and walk away. That will probably annoy them more than giving them a dirty look.
At age of about 8 in 1944 we were walking over an unused assault range on Larkhill camp near Salisbury in England.
I noticed what appeared to be a dud grenade.I pulled the pin and realised it was live.I smartlly tossed the grenade over a low brick wall.
The grenade went off, the wall fell down around us.We got away with it, but my mum sure didnt like the tear in my pants when we got home.

Where did you get it that PamM is an "elder"?

Since when is Draiker elderly. I believe he is just like me in his 20’s (Correct me if I’m wrong Draiker ).
Onno
