Cruise Smarter LIVE from Emerald Princess — “Old Ships”: Classic vs. the Latest - Feb 8, 12 noon ET

Описание: Cruise Smarter LIVE — “Old Ships”: Classic vs. Latest & Greatest
LIVE from Emerald Princess | Sunday, February 8
Special Time: 12 Noon ET / 9a PT

Is an “older” cruise ship something to avoid — or something cruisers are unfairly overlooking?

This week on Cruise Smarter LIVE, we’re coming to you LIVE from onboard Emerald Princess to tackle one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) topics in cruising:
the stigma around older ships.

With so many brand-new ships launching every year, more cruisers are hesitant to sail on anything older than 5–10 years. But does that mindset actually limit your cruise options — and keep you from some truly incredible experiences?

Emerald Princess first launched in 2007, making her nearly 19 years old — and the perfect place to have this conversation.

This Week’s Primary Topic: “Old Ships” — Are They Being Overlooked?

We’ll discuss:
Why some cruisers avoid ships over a certain age
How “newer” doesn’t always mean “better” for every traveler
What older, seasoned ships often do better than new builds
How ship age impacts itineraries, port access, and overall experience
Why focusing only on the “latest and greatest” may limit your cruise choices

We’ll also talk candidly about:
Refurbishments vs. brand-new builds
Ship design, flow, and passenger experience
Who older ships are perfect for — and who they might not be

💬 Your Opinions & Questions — Live
This is a fully interactive show, and we want to hear from you:
Do you prefer brand-new ships or classic favorites?
Would you avoid a ship simply because of its age?
What matters more to you: the ship or the itinerary?
Drop your questions and opinions in the chat — we’ll respond live.
