I've enjoyed the two cruises I've been on a lot, but the time on the boat was, while generally nice enough, the least favorite part of the trip.

I really don't get the Carribean cruise. I'd rather just go to an island and stay there. Not deal with the seas and being trapped on the boat. There's more to do and it's nicer at a resort. The cruises I went on (Alaska and Northern Europe) had a sort of purpose to them and the ship made it easier.

I'm mostly afraid of seasickness, plus I like to hike and stuff more than sunbathe, swim, and eat. -- nm - Mara Feb 22, 15:25 5
