Personally i would rent a little house in the bahamas drink kalik beer and daquiries all day long and do what i wanted to do or lack of activities if you prefer.

We went on Royal Carribean and if its your thing the customer service was good the people were fantastic and so was the food but hey you pay out the ass. Cruise has to be your thing to enjoy it.

2 hours at a port? Why? Every cruise I have been on has a minimum of 6 hours in port. Most are 8ish hours.
No matter what, you need to pay for the alcoholic beverages, but you get water / lemonade / OJ / fruit punch / ice tea etc for free (no carbonated beverages unless you buy them or buy a card.
I absolutely love cruising, it's the best way to travel, and it's generally cheaper than any other vacation you can get. You can go on a 7 day cruise with an oceanview room and pay from $500-850 per person...that includes all food and entertainment...and they are great shows...they have comedians flown in and everything. There is something constantly going on on the ship as well. You can do nothing, and veg, or do everything...it's your choice. It's great, and my wife and I are addicted.
