Who has been on a cruise ship, and what did you think of it?
Girlfriend and I are thinking of teaming up with a few friends and going on a cruise. I'd always dismissed the idea of a cruise thinking they were only for old people, but now I am one it seems like a nice idea.
Traveling in the past to me had usually been with a backpack, reading bus timetables in a foreign language and sleeping in some cheap dive. Sounds rough but I'd go on holidays for three months to a year

So this is different.
I'd like it to be slightly up market, no kids or booze cruise louts on board.
At first a practice one around Australia + pacific islands. Then if I survive the seasickness thing I'd like to do around the Mediterranean thing of Monaco, Nice...
Or San Francisco to Alaska.
