I'd probably look forward to a river cruise, next time. Never done that before. Smaller ship, fewer passengers, closer to land along the entire trip. The last cruise we took was a big family affair on a Carnival that was as expected for Carnival: sub-par on all levels. The one before that we encountered a storm on the way from Bermuda, and a passenger with a heart attack who had to be put in a cage and pulleyed up into a helicopter, in the middle of the storm, that brought him to shore, because the ship didn't have a helipad.
I love cruising but those two cruises made me think next time I'd be willing to pay a little more for a smaller, less populous cruise.
