Cruising is definately a lot of fun. It's not cheap, but it's cheaper than you might expect. If you look at the price of a nice resort for a week, the cruise is usually cheaper. And they have all the same stuff except maybe a golf course.

The shows, the food and a lot of other stuff is included in the price. On our last cruise, I didn't spend a dime on board, and I had a great time. For most people, a week is enough. Those private islands are great.
