Is there an age limit for hiring? What are the positives and the negatives?

I got an email back---no doubt 'form' with my name slotted in. All good, they are a corporation after all.
They said it was a lot of cutting shows and maybe playing with the 'jazz ensemble' (the mind boggles).
I politely replied that I'd be more than happy to play solo, join a jazz group, back a vocalist, that I know untold amounts of tunes---but not a great sight-reader or really interested in playing shows, so if any of the above appeal to you please contact me again.

But is there an age limit? What are the negatives and the positives? Staying on dry land is slightly more appealing to me than 'creaking bulkheads' and cramped quarters with no 'fraternization'.

Funny what you never forget I guess.
Thank You again !!

I've never been on one, btw. But I could use the work. And I read very well. But, if ageism is a thing...

I think the main disadvantage of working on a cruise ship would be that you are not building a network. It is steady work. You can build your chops. But once you get off that boat, you are pretty much right where you started.
