I was very skeptical on my first one. I had to be 'dragged, kicking all the way'. By the second day at sea, I realized it was the most amazing vacation ever. It was transatlantic, so guess what? No electronics, none. I had plenty of work I -could- do on a computer, tablet, and smart phone. But...not in the middle of the Atlantic. So I had to "relinquish" and just ... relax. A very rare experience indeed. I highly recommend it.
That is the real reason for sea going. Relaxation. You can't beat the price of lodging and meals and entertainment in hotels. Also some unique views of blue skies and blue ocean with the smell of salt air. The view can put awe into you, to see all that water and realize how small creatures we really are. My father was in the Navy and he said a unique way of looking when at sea is that you are never more than 3 miles from land. It is only under you!!!!! lol
