I have been on 3 cruises (and am patiently waitin g for the next). 2 were Carnival cruises and one was Holland America. Holland America cruises are very formal and great for the older crowd in my opinion. I mean, I am older (will be 55 this year) but I think that 1/2 of the cruise population had wheelchairs or walkers. The Carnival cruises are geared towards the younger crowd. I have to say that I really enjoyed the Carnival cruises MUCH better. All of the cruises have been to Mexico. ( a 3day cruise, a 5 day, and a 10 day) All were fun and had great activities. Be sure and pack something formal for the evenings. Even if you aren't into the "formal" scene, it is a great experience getting to meet new people and being treated like royalty and is an experience that you won't want to miss. For the daytime, pack whatever you normally would wear. There are all kinds of fun activities on the days the ship is sailing. The best advice I could give is to PARTICIPATE in everything you can.
The next cruise I go on, I would love to go to Alaska. My brother has been on lots and his favorites are the Bahamas. Also he loves the Winjammer Cruises where you are also part of the crew. (too much work for me, I want to be pampered)
Have fun and take lots of pictures.
Hugs
