I've been on a few cruises, the 7 day was the best by far

Longer than that it gets a little cabin fever for me, and the shorter ones just left me wanting more. Friends of mine did a 21 day European cruise they loved it but said if they hadn't spent so much time at different ports and countries it would have gotten old quick if it was just beach type stuff every day.

I've never cruised that part of the world, so it might be different.

The longer your cruise, the more you'll care about amenities like balcony,

What is the difference? More stops, longer stops, or just more days at sea?
