Best cruise you've been on

[Bravehearted]

Where to go and who to sail with on a cruise with plenty of interesting stops, good food, good service and not a feeling of clostrophobia (+no bugs on board), is what I'm looking for. I'm particularly interested in a Mid-night sun cruise to the arctic circle next mid-summer from a Scottish port. Are you best to go all inclusive or pay as you drink? answers will be rewarded with a thank-you!

Have you thought about a flight to Iceland, then pick up some boats to go whale watching?

I am well travelled but have never done this. I have just come back from a Med cruise. It was very nice but I felt limited when on board.

Thanks for that. I'm into whales after my visit to Sea Wolrd in Orlando. You should try that. Their Orcas are happy and your sure to see them. Your comment on the med cruise is what I expected. Could I stay sea bound without the comforts of home to hand at my age?.

It depends on your budget.

What few people realise is all the cheap deals are inner cabins. To sleep in a cabin with a window (porthole) you pay serious bucks.

As for the all inclusive, it will depend on how much you drink or eat. We went all in because I eat like a horse everyday and drink like a fish. The only extra was champagne. It is therefore good for your budget because on an all in boat, all you will need is a few pounds for nick-nacks and the casino (which is not really my bag)

Your hobbies i.e.after hours activities are akin to mine. so might as well stay at home and get bluttered
