Not a fan of Cruise Lines, BUT - It is a great way to see places you could never drive to or afford to stay. Only did 3:
1) About 2,500 drunk party goers on a Carnival boat thru the Caribbean...I said NEVER AGAIN
2) 3 back to back cruises for 25 days around the Mediterranean. Venice, Crotia, Greece, Sicily (x2), Rome, Monaco, Barcelona, Sardinia, Naples, Amalfi Coast, etc....Great to not pack up bags and move every day or two.
3) Did this 14 day in the South Pacific about 8 months ago:
Cabins & Rates - Marquesas, Tuamotus & Society Islands | Paul Gauguin Cruises
Great small ship with a max of 322 passengers (ours had 275) and a staff 210....No a single kid on board. We know the director of marketing and got a last minute price of under 1/2 price....Can do the same for you Bill if your schedule is flexible...One again, great to visit small, remote islands.
