Maybe it's just me - but I love the ships and what they offer - I've never understood people who think of a cruise ship as a big 'uber' trip.

I use the experience at each port to determine if I'll take a land vacation and go back for more.

As a result, I've spent about a week in Gibraltar, 3 weeks in Spain, 3 weeks in Cairo and Egypt, and a few other places as well. 8 hours in a country doesn't cut it.
