I would begrudge that because it was easier to accumulate wealth for boomers with good paying jobs, low education costs and cheap real estate. They really had to navigate the world poorly to not do better on average than somebody born in, say, 1997.
So while it is "their money", money was easier to come by than it is now. I think a cruise is selfish AF if you have kids who are struggling. I don't get how you could have fun sipping on margaritas on some ostentatious floating oil burner if you have kids renting a basement suite because they can't save a down payment. A down payment you could have bought if you didn't go on a cruise or two.
