I can think of nothing worse as a 'holiday'. Those big cruise liners are IMO nothing more than an upmarket mobile Butlins-for-adults, sorry!
But I perhaps I have strange preferences in hols - the best one I've EVER been on was a 2-week unsupported camel trek in the Central Desert of South Australia, skirting Lake Eyre and crossing part of Anna Station. Talk about memorable! I rode Wabma and cared for Aloka. That was 2006.
When I was working in NZ I won a prize donated by a prominent travel agent and it was a cruise; I think I shocked everyone by asking if I could change it from a cruise to something else. I could and I did, I went to New Caledonia and French Polynesia instead and it was unforgettable; there was a lot of travel by ship (and small plane) involved but none of it was part of 'a cruise'.
