Well, I'm doing my first 10-day cruise next June, we'll see. I may get hooked on being on board permanently! But a 7-day European cruise is great for us, allows us to use it as "punctuation" for land trips, which we also enjoy.

Cindy, it's not just you--it is cheesey. I remember sitting on deck on the Diamond, docked at Piraeus, relaxing, and David flinching when he had to sign a chit for his beer--in fact he used the same word, "cheesey". I know the non-drinkers will protest, always, but we could do without the in-room setup to make up for it.
