I haven't, but I've stayed at resorts and don't think that I'd like cruises because of what I do at resorts.
I like to give myself time at each location, getting to know it for several days. I might get to know the ship in that time, but I feel like it is just getting to know the resort instead of the destination. The only caveat to that would be a place like Disney World, which is gigantic.
I'm also interested in things like local culture and food, which isn't something you are going to get on a cruise ship.
The experience looks to be cheaper, but I'd rather pay to stay on location.
The general plan on a cruise is that the ship docks fairly early and you get off to do the culture and food things, then you have a time to be back, so really you're only on the ship for evenings and sleeping. You do get occasional 'at sea' days where you don't dock, but it's unusual for that to be a decent proportion of your trip.
Yeah, but you generally only get one day per port, which I find doesn't give you too much time to really go around and experience a place.
Oh no, absolutely, it's a flying visit for sure. I enjoyed my cruise experience because we went to a bunch of places I'd probably never go by myself, I got a snapshot experience of a bunch of coastal towns.
