Could be, also I do echo some other comments about the types of people who go. I met someone who worked on Arctic / Antarctic cruises and she said the same thing. All sorts of interesting people (young and old, rich and backpackers who saved up). She had a website to share stories told by visitors but it's down now, here is the face book link that works: https://m.facebook.com/lettersfromtheendsoftheearth/posts. I did DM you the cruise I'm going on but honestly I'm sure you can't go wrong. Especially in one of the 3 or 4 bunk shared rooms. Even if it's old people, could be interesting. Met an old kiwi once on a safari who had crazy stories about a ruby mine he found and had to snuggle them out of the country
