It's also the isolation from regular life, the particular atmosphere of only being around other holidaymakers, stopping at various islands along the way for day trips. Not my idea of an ideal holiday, and the workers' rights + environmental situation is absolutely appalling, but I do have fond memories of the one time I went on a cruise when I was a child.
