My wife and I have been on probably about 6 or 7 cruises(she loves em. Says it's the only time anyone takes care of her instead of the other way round(whatever). I'm ok for about the first 2 hours then I've seen everything on board I want to see. The best part about it is the places that they can take you to. You really have to be able to be happy not doing anything while you're at sea. It's only good for eating and drinking(alot). The only real party boat we've been on was LA to Ensenada and back. 3 dayer. Lots of youngsters and a few bachlorette party groups. They were ready to party with anything hanging. That was a drunken 24/7 cruise. Yeah it was Carnival.
