I voted "NO" and here's why:
1) 3 days not long enough to ever get in the spirit of the cruise. Day 1 you are arriving, Day 2 you try to cram in everything you might want to do, and Day 3 you're preoccupied with having to pack up and go home. That hurry-up stressed-out feeling is not typical of what most cruises are like...on such a short cruise you will barely get to relax or soak up the atmosphere.
2) You're going to get a different crowd of people on a cruise that short.
Families who can't get away because of the kids will take the kids with them on a short cruise, because of the short time away from school or activities. So you'll have more children onboard. People who just want to party hearty will take a short cruise...so you'll have more rowdy people onboard. People who are on extremely tight budgets can only afford short cruises...and that might also effect the atmosphere onboard.
Not that there's anything wrong with any of those things...the children, the party crowd, or people on super-tight budgets...but when you put all those factors together on one short 3 day cruise I don't think you could call that a typical cruise. And if you base whether or not you might like cruising on that 3-day cruise experience you could be way off base.
So no, I don't think a 3 day cruise would not be a good way to decide whether you like cruising or not...because you won't be getting the true feeling of what it's like.
