Actually, cruises are great for the fact that you only unpack once and you get to see lots of different places. Our first cruise we stopped every day at a different place (St Maarten, St Thomas, Antigua, St Lucia and Barbados). We only had one at sea day. It was great!! That cruise was on Royal Caribbean.
Our second cruise was on Carnival and it wasn't as good for me. There were three at sea days. Those are the worst because EVERYONE is on the boat ALL day.

My friends were supposed to go on this exact boat on Sunday. I heard they get reimbursed for the cruise, any air fare AND get 25% off their next cruise. The guests that had to endure this should get compensated ALOT more than that.
