We had a balcony room, and I am convinced the trip in the winter to warmer climes helped speed my recovery much better than air flights and all the attendant transfers. We visited what we wanted to, at the pace we wanted to. My daughter and a friend were involved with teaching wine classes on a Med Cruise and they had a great time doing it, I don't know what line that was. My in-laws who have been on several cruises say the Alaska was the best of all. Cruises are not for everyone, but if you think of the ship as a hotel that takes you places, and feeds you really well, then it can be a lot of fun.
