My 'cruise' was on a 30ft yacht from South Africa to S. America & the Carribean then back to the UK. Would have been more fun if I didn't get seasick (I was young & foolish). Won't forget the weather forecast 300 miles off Cornwall - 'Storm Force 10 imminent... have a peaceful night' - looking up at waves higher than the mast was NOT peaceful (change of underwear required!). I would consider a cruise for Antartica but my perfect holiday is to hire a car and travel around the country. Daughter thinks I'm slightly mad (she may be right) and we should have a 'normal' holiday sitting on a beach, but I'd get bored.
