I've only taken one cruise and while it was okay, I wouldn't go out of my way to go again. Perhaps if I'd taken a cruise that went someplace more interesting than the Caribbean, I'd have enjoyed it more. I was much, much happier when the ship was at sea and that was only the first day. The other 5 days-whatever were island hopping.
Did some of my best sleeping as the ship moved at night. Very relaxing.
Couldn't understand someone I worked with who took a honeymoon cruise ... to Bermuda. If I'm going to stay in one place, I'll just get a hotel room, I don't get paying for the small room and all the meals I'll never eat if it's not acting as a ship. Just me.
This was Royal American, I remember the food as being very good but nothing I wouldn't expect. I remember more having to be ready and dressed (up) for dinner at the same time every night, we took early shift I think, I'm not into that schedule kind of thing.
What really sucked about cruising I don't think can or will be changed, checking out was a friggin nightmare. Also, since last I checked, I'm paying, I don't expect to be *ordered* to pose for pictures by the cruise staff. ORDERED.
