Most of the time they come up when I am looking for something in regards to seniors on You Tube and if you check You Tube videos on cruise insurance you'll see numerous clips explaining some of the new regulations...

The problem is, as far as I can see, is that as we get older, we accumulate more and more disabilities to the point where we die. And the ADA has to decide at what point do they make everybody pay for our disability (for example, there’s no such thing as free Wi-Fi, all the passengers have to pay for it since cruise lines are not in the business of subsidizing people, they are in the business of making money) and at what point do we have to look after ourselves even to the point where we die.

I think the discussion was regarding disabilities and why some are excluded. I personally think cruises are not interesting, fun or enlightening. Even though I am old, I dislike being part of a floating vehicle for old people, most of whom should have put their swimming suits away a long time ago. Disney cruises almost seem exciting after witnessing that.

I would never have guessed we would see that on a major cruise line.
Off topic, the cruise was a disaster. Caught COVID, stuck in our room for 3 or 4 days until we tested negative. $9K medical bill for treatment between the two of us. Thank God we took out Faye Travel Insurance! They paid it in full. Missed several ports due to weather. Cruising is done for us! LOL

My wife had aunt that when on cruise caught virus and died, she was perfectly healthy, not over weight, and on only could medication’s. No known health issues.
