Our best was our honeymoon, on the SS Norway of the Norwegian Cruise lines, back in 1990. I've heard the line isn't as good as it used to be, but back then the food was outstanding, activities galore. Service was excellent. There were no "kids programs" and we didn't see any families with young kids on board at all. There was a disco so there were some 20-somethings. The land excursions were great. It was a 7-day eastern Caribbean cruise. We had a junior suite with a balcony overlooking the stern.

We've been on a few other cruises since then but none have been as good. Also our last two were family cruises with extended families and their little kids, and arranging for everyone to do stuff together was so NOT fun it really kinda ruined it for us. We are hoping to some day afford a river cruise, and float up the Mississippi for 5 days.
