[quote=Anonymous]I've been on several.  Honestly, OP, the thing I hate most about cruises is that you are constantly fighting for very small spaces that everyone wants to use.... i.e. the pool is the size of a postage stamp and 2000 people are trying to use it.  Same with the buffet. or any of the entertainment items (i.e. water slide or activities).

The food has not been that good on Disney.  Better on Celebrity.  It's very loud at night b/c I prefer to be in bed by 10pm so that I can get up for my tours at 6 am.  But, there's a lot of noise.

Honestly, I've kind of sworn off cruises for now.  I'd be better off spending the money to stay on land where I can go to a restuarant that doesn't look too crowded, and have far more choices, and far more square footage of pool space, and more choices for activities that don't require waiting for hours in line.

We did a 10 night cruise of the Mediterranean for a honeymoon years ago.  That made sense b/c we were getting to see lots of different countries in a short time and we didn't have to learn the transportation or find a new hotel in each country.  So, if efficiency of exploring is your goal, then a cruise can make sense.  But otherwise, if you are just looking for a fun vacation, I think the value is not in a cruise.  The better value for enjoyment (in my experience) is to stay on land and not deal with the crowds.[/quote]
