Sums it up perfectly. I admit I've never been on a cruise, but that's because I hate the idea of a cruise, period. A conference cruise, even more so. Trapped at sea, herded through the dining lines, with the occasional diversion on the Lido deck, and for what? A few hours on shore, where you barely have time to see a place? If I'm barely going to see a place, I'd like it to be a nice hotel in a city with interesting sights, food, and activities. @ Eric, that’s perfect. Sums it up perfectly.

Downside - you catch the Norovirus, puke your guts out, and get quarantined to your cabin (on penalty of being offloaded at next port for noncompliance). Fun! Upside – pretty vistas.
