This was my first cruise, although my husband and I lived on a tropical island for a number of years.  My husband is a pastor,and it is very difficult to get him away from all the demands on his time so we can have quality time together.  The cruise was perfect!  I love the ocean, the ship is a self-contained community with every amenity I could possibly want, the service was absolutely first-rate, our privacy was respected, and we had a wonderful time!  There was some kind of restaurant (or room service) available 24 hours/day, everything from a hot dog and pizza stand to a very formal 5-course...
