Millennial Mythbuster

Easing common cruise qualms of tomorrow’s travelers.

HI, I’M MIKE, and I’m a millennial. I’m also a world traveler and a proud cruiser. For many people, especially those of my generation, cruising isn’t that “cool.” For many, the thought of cruising conjures images of tiny staterooms, skeet shooting, and passengers dressed up in suits and gowns just for dinner. For many millennials, this is our nightmare vacation scenario — a world stuck in the past. Luckily, this image is far from the reality of modern-day cruising. Being born into the cruise world, I had an early start and never questioned the cruise experience as many millennials do. So, for those who doubt a cruise can truly be a good fit for us younger folk, I’m here to tell you that your worries and fears of cruising are wrong.
