We went on one many summers ago to Alaska. It was a lot of fun the first few days and the convenience did make checking items off our travel list easier, but the convenience also made it boring.

At the time I declared I'd rather luxuriate independently, but I remain emotionally drawn to the perceived convenience of a cruise/resort.

After a week on a cruise I'm itching to get off.

I need a vacation (and I do like the ocean a lot ... which I currently see none of) but not a vacation that's that long.
