What is so good about cruise vacation that makes people coming back to cruise over and over again?

Well I have done more than 20 cruises and lately have been doing 2 or 3 per year. The reasons are the cruise vacation is really cheap compared to going to one location for a week. A resort location like maybe Cancun, Mexico will cost about $200 per night for a resort hotel and then you have to buy food and pay for entertainment. Cruises, on the other hand are much cheaper now than they were 10 to 15 years ago. This is so because there are so many cruise lines and ships now. Plus many of the ships are relatively new; less than 10 yrs old and have great amenities.

You can get great free food in cruise ships all day every day and I mean things for dinner like steak, lobster, prime rib, fillet minion and great soups and salads.

The cruise ships provide entertainment; you can go to the disco each night and there is no cover charge; there's a free show every evening. The ships (except Disney) have a casino if you care to gamble. They all have free gyms (you generally have to pay to use the health club at a resort hotel); they have multiple pools and hot tubs, and a variety on other on-board activities.

The cruise ship allows you to visit many countries. I have been to countries all over the world that I would probably otherwise not get to but by cruise ship. Yes you have generally only 8 or 9 hours at each port. But in most cases that is more than enough to see the city and enjoy it, and decide whether you ever want to come back for a longer visit.

The cruise gives you the whole package in one stop.

It is actually cheaper then going somewhere on your own.
The food is great and available 24 hours a day.
You have no worries such as where to eat.
You pack once and unpack once.
No flying around here and there
You also have lots of entertainment every day, all day long.
Far less stressful then regular resort vacations.
You have different views constantly

The cost compared to a land vacation is one thing. Another is getting to see different places and do different things. How many places can you swim with sting rays? Where can you go into a natural mineral spring that combines ocean water with hot springs water? These are just a couple of the experiences while cruising. Service and food is 5 star, wide variety of entertainment. Why wouldn't we continue to cruise? 30 plus cruises for me.

The list of what's not good would be shorter than the list of why people cruise over and over again. Basically, the cruise line spoils you rotten.
In my opinion, going on a cruise is the Holy Grail of vacations. You only unpack once and everything is taken care of.

Being out on a body of water is the most relaxing - just like doing water aerobics instead of exercising on the floor or running. Looking a water is very hypnotic. Of course, exploring the villages along the way is fun, too.
I have found a wonderful financial deal for your next cruise also.

The person above is totally right! But I don't know about the stress factor.
