I have never been on a cruise I have always thought that it is something I would not enjoy but the more I watch and read about the experience the more I am drawn to going on one with my husband who has only ever travelled as The Isle of Man when he was sent to stay with his family in Onchan when he was a boy.
We have a big anniversary next year and it would be fantastic if he could be treated to such a trip.

I'd go with mu best friend because we have so much fun when go away together. My husband is wonderful but having that special time with a friend who you don't see as often as you like is priceless.

I would take my family (husband, 2daughters and their boyfriends ) on a cruise with me because none of us have ever been on a cruise before! I’ve always wanted to go on one

I would take my partner we love travelling and have never been on a cruise together.

Can't bear the thought of being on one of these huge liners with the great unwashed. All those people! All that food! All that forced entertainment! The only cruise I would consider would be on a small boat with all my family and friends to the Galapagos or to the Antarctic. Both preferably. What a miserable old granny I am but give me a villa and my own pool with my own DH and I'm as happy as a happy thing in Happyville

I would love to take my husband Andy and our daughter Olivia on a cruise as it would be so relaxing and a lovely way to spend some quality time together and experience different places

My husband before we get too old to travel, as his health is deteriorating.

I'd take my husband... I can't imagine him being very impressed if I didn't! Ideally I'd take the cat though!

Like many of you I would take my husband - cruised many times with the family when small and now just the two of us. Great to wake up at a different place everyday.

My mum (who has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and my son ( who has just had a kidney transplant) they both deserve it☺

My husband because he is also my best friend

My sister who sees the funny side of everything and everyone

My daughter as she needs a little break from her children and hasnt been very well. Would love to spend time with her and pamper her with motherly love and kindness. Also have a wonderful opportunity to experience new scenery and cultures.

I would take my husband, he cares for me daily without a complaint and deserves a treat I couldn't afford to give him

My husband as never been on a cruise fantastic to try!

I would take my partner as she deserves a break, and neither of us have ever been on a cruise before.

hubby patrick - we would love to go on a cruise together

I have yet to go on a cruise but it would be a lovely way to be able to visit lots of different places around the world I have not had a chance to experience yet

I would take my husband, we have spend the last 30 plus years putting our family first, then running a Cubs group then a Scout group for 15 years, spending many a night under canvas with one ear always listening out for mischief. Our children are independent, and the luxury and intimacy of a cruise, along with eating new food, seeing new sights it would be a dream.

I find I can manage with two or three intakes of Garlic added to meals and a little fruit and veg twice or three times a week!

I would take as many of my family as I can, we have done the holiday camp holiday, the Spanish holiday, and the British seaside 'costa' holiday. To take my family, having a cabin with a view, family eating and exploring the ports together, eating new foods, going to classes, seeing the stars whilst at sea, seeing the fireworks when you leave port - I'd rather leave my family memories rather than money.

Do you have a big family and you’d love to take them all for a whole host of different reasons?

Yes I do, and I would take them all, as on a cruise ship there is always something to do, see - or nothing to do except find a quiet deck and relax. All of my family could do what they want, and I know they are safe on board.

Is it your partner you’d like to bring with you because you both love travelling and exploring new places together?

We would love to go together to a Nordic cruise, which the younger members of my family would not enjoy as much as us.

Perhaps you have a group of friends that you have non-stop laughs with that you’d love to bring along?

Oh yes, a week with 'the girls' on a 'Strictly' cruise is on the top of my cruise wishlist.

Maybe you’d like some quality time with your children and/or grandchildren?

Memories with my grandchildren would be simply amazing, seeing their smiling faces and spoiling them is simply special.

Or even if you can’t think of any friends/family you’d like to bring, what about if you could literally take anyone in the world on a cruise? Why would you choose them?

I am spoiled for choice with cruise destinations and family I want to be with (and hopefully them me) I love the atmosphere of a cruise, the joy, memories, sights and ports, if I had to pick just one - it would be my DH of 33 years as we are as one - like the same things and would love some quality time together.

I would take my twin sister, we have both put our families, being busy mums and wifes, and are both nurses, so have a difficult job, so to have a cruise together, just to sit, explore, dance, dive and dine would be so lovely. My DH does not have sea legs and would be really happy to spend the time on the golf course.

No-one- as cruises are just not for me/us
