Answers to questions

Are there a number of younger adults on this cruise with you? No there are very few young adults. I actually would guess there are zero (or maybe I just haven't seen them) young adults. I would say there are alot of middle aged people and senior citizens. The 2 younger children I described are not school age. The 3 that are with the speakers are getting off in Lima so returning to school. The parents of the younger children are probably the youngest I've seen.

I'm 28 and would love to do this in a couple of years (if I can, of course) - do you think I'd feel out of place? It really depends on you and your interests. I would suggest trying a longer transatlantic cruise to see if you fit in well with the demographics on this cruise. I was surprised by how young and fit the group is. The average age was said to be 68 or 71. The average age on other world cruises I had heard was 83. I think that alot of cruisers canceled this cruise due to the economic situation and were replaced by a younger set (50s & 60s). However, most everyone is retired. I'm 41 and do not feel out of place but I have done 3 transatlantic and find that I really enjoy the longer cruises and the demographics on them.

Also, thanks for the recommendation about the ginger tablets - I get motion sickness too. Do they really do the trick? I think the ginger tablets are very effective. The TV show The Myth Busters tested it out vs. other motion sickness remedies and pronounced it effective. I think they even said it was the most effective but I saw the show a long time ago and don't remember for sure.
