Ah yes, I thought there'd be a trade off!! :-)
I used to enjoy cruises when they were still not on everyone's agenda but on the last couple it was evident that they are now attracting a "different class of people". Admittedly I am only taking about cheap ones so I suppose I am one of those. The shame of it was that some of the more unusual bits of cruising were dropped (formal dinner, set meal times with the same bunch of people you don't know for 2 weeks etc).
I doubt I'll cruise again, I've done about 8 or 9 and that's enough. The absolute best one was being away over Christmas - took the whole family (well the missus and adult daughters) and although it was pricey they did a wonderful job of Christmas on the boat.
