Perhaps it depends on what line you cruise with and where. I have been to Alaska twice and it was phenomenal. I'd go again in a heart beat. The crew was great. Our cabin was very nice. The food was quite good and had good variety.

Caribbean cruises tend to be family events and tend to be cheaper so it seems there is a greater likelihood to end up with folks who are closer to the Wal-Mart end of the spectrum. My sister went on a Northern Europe cruise and loved it as well.

Cruising is not for everyone. I definitely enjoyed my experiences. I have heard quite a bit about Carnival. Most of it has not been favorable. They seem to cater to the first time/cheap cruise/younger crowd. Not my cup of tea and I would not cruise on them. So far I have been on Cunard and Holland America.
