Have you been on any 3/4 night cruises recently. The last short cruise
we were on was the Carnival Victor, 2 day to nowhere when the ship
first came out. I did find the crowd to be much more of a party crowd,
then on longer sailings, but that cruise was quite a while back. Also
when we took the Nordic Empress, 4 or 5 days, it was more of a party
cruise. Also from the reviews I have read and some of the comments on
cruisecritic, also from my nephews, the shorter cruises do seem to be
more of a party cruise. This doesn't mean the actual people look
different, it is just the way they seem to act. Hey, on the Infinity I
saw someone who was staggering drunk and had to be helped/dragged back
to his cabin. No names and it was not Kevin....lol
