Thanx for the stories, guys. You've opened my eyes, although maybe I was better off with them closed I like traveling and visiting different places. If I go, it will be in September when all those pesky kids are at school and it would be a new kind of adventure for me. The initial charge from the shipping line apart, did you find it expensive? It's expensive but worth it. As I mentioned earlier, for me it's all about convenience. The Mediterranean cruise is a great example of value. Sure you're not on your own timeline on a cruise, but I got to see a ton on that cruise that would've been a real pain to schedule in such a short window of time if we were traveling any other way. The ship is one set of accommodations and from there I saw multiple islands as well as mainland Italy and Greece, as well as Turkey. We stayed three extra days in Rome after the cruise because that's not a walkthrough destination, but even discounting that, the cruise was like three trips in one. It's a bargain financially and in terms of the hassles of traveling. As others have mentioned, a cruise for the sake of relaxing or partying seems like a total waste of money. But when you turn it into your opportunity to see several locations that you wouldn't necessarily want to spend several days at anyway, it can be enormously cost effective.
