Industry Experts & Guests 50+ - Theme Cruises & Small Ships

Working on a story for AARP Magazine about THEME CRUISES and looking for several different sources. Comment here if you know someone who comes to mind. I'm looking for: 1. Industry experts who can comment on the history, development, and current state of the THEME cruise industry, including their appeal to 50+ people. Why do theme cruises attract travelers who wouldn't otherwise take a cruise? 2. Guests and/or onboard talent who have sailed on a LITERARY themed cruise (book clubs, writing workshops, author-hosted). Looking for two individuals over the age of 50. 3. Special smaller cruises that offer an escape from the typical crowds and activities. These are smaller cruise lines - including river cruises - that are NOT the types of lines to offer big theme cruises. But, they do have some special voyages. What are those sailings. Why are these smaller ship cruises special/different in the marketplace of cruising? Pictured: Scenes from sailing Portugal's Duoro River with Riviera Travel

Family Caregivers in US - Share Caregiving Stories

A recent report from AARP, Valuing the Invaluable, caught our eye. 59 million Americans are providing care for an aging loved one right now. They're averaging 27 hours a week. Many are managing wound care, medications, and daily tasks on top of their own jobs and families. The economic value of that work? Over $1 trillion a year. Everyone's talking about AI. But the most powerful system in America doesn't run on code, it runs on family. And it's because of numbers like these that we built JubileeTV to support the people behind this astounding data. Today we launched a campaign to take this report a step further by making this invisible workforce visible. If you've ever made a doctor call, picked up a prescription, stayed up worrying, or just showed up, you're a caregiver, whether you call yourself one or not. We want to hear your story. Head to https://lnkd.in/gZ3wr534 to share it, and help us shine a light on the work. AARP, thank you for putting numbers to what so many already know to be true.
