Cruise Pros and Cons
Wife and I had no real desire but sister-in-law wanted us to go. I've been on 2 Caribbean and one California/Pacific coastal.
Wife doesn't love them. I do. Especially where the water is warm. We manage to go snorkeling almost every stop. The California cruise ship and people were all great but without warm water to swim in not something I'd repeat.
I agree though about "stopping for 1 day with 4,000 others" isn't great. It is nice to get a brief sample of a new location and decide whether we would go there for a land-based vacation.
Cruising was it for us. So many people raved about them. So we went on a true bucket list item, an Alaskan cruise. Spent 3 days in Seattle on both ends and had a really good time.
Then we tried the Caribbean. No thanks. We have enjoyed all-inclusives in many of these places. Stopping for 1 day with 4,000 other folks was NOT the same....
