Did ya ever really want to? I certainly never have. I'd much rather pitch a tent 3/4th's the way up a mountain for a week and cook my own food on a campfire, than be locked on a floating barge with 4000 other people for a week.Now that cruise lines are Woke, I guess that's one MOAR thing I'm never going to experience.
I had thought about it. But like you, I suspected it would be more like my aircraft-carrier experience, than a vacation.Did ya ever really want to? I certainly never have.

Remember when that Carnival Cruise line Triumph in February 10, 2013 lost power from An engine room fire in the Gulf of America? The loss of power disabled propulsion, air conditioning, lighting, and sanitation systems, leading to overflowing toilets and unsanitary conditions, earning the incident the nickname "Poop Cruise." The ship was towed to Mobile, Alabama, arriving on February 14, 2013. Carnival provided refunds, $500 per passenger, and a future cruise credit.Did ya ever really want to? I certainly never have.

Investigations revealed the fire was caused by a fuel leak from an overdue-for-maintenance generator, with prior fuel line issues known to Carnival.
Took them a 4 days to get back to port. No power. No water. No toilets... need I elaborate?
Though, in truth, they remind British football hooligans at a soccer match.It's not all of them, but it's always them.
