Review summary

There was too much time on the boat. I liked meeting people and getting off the boat.

The boat was clean, the crew was very friendly and attentive. It was just too confining for my husband and myself.

It was too confining. It was our first cruise and we didn't realize how claustrophobic the room could be without a port hole or balcony. It was kept well.

Ship tip

Get a room with a balcony.

Review shows you were on an inside cabin... Maybe try a balcony or suite if you felt confined.

Sounds like you should just fly to where you want to go.

Wow, I went on an 18 night cruise from Hawaii last year and just loved the sea days. I was worried about that leg of the trip but with so much to do I didn't even want to go ashore at times, although I did. Sorry your experience wasn' as good.

For me part of the fun of a cruise is being on the ship. It is way different then being at home. If being on the ship feels confining then cruising may not be the best use if your vacation dollars.

It's a ship. Imagine how confining a boat (they're the things hanging from the side of the ship) would be.
