I love ports but the lethargic, relaxed, tranquil nature of all sea days would be great. I would only hope that the ship stocks up with plenty of everything before the cruise began! Would bot like running out of breadsticks only 7 days into a 14 day cruise!

There are so many cruise ships that are destinations in themselves, that I would have no problem with no ports. I do like going to new places, but there is something about a ship that makes me want to take advantage of EVERYTHING on it. I'm not sure I could do 7-10 days, but I am willing to try!

I would definately go away on an all seaday cruise. That is, afterall, what ships do best
The nearest to actually doing one of these cruises was in August this year when I was fortunate to go on a 2 night mini-cruise from Dover to Jersey and back on the brand new NCL Jewel. Fantastic trip, superb ship and a warm-up for my Christmas cruise - which as just 5 ports days out of 14 nights
There are just too many places in the world that we haven't seen yet. We like using the ship as our hotel and stepping out the front door into a new world every few days. A 7 to 10 day CTN just would not be that interesting. If we were physically unable to enjoy ports then a long CTN might work, but for now, we want off the ship as often as possible.
