You'll never catch me on a cruise!

Is it inevitable that one day you will want to go on a cruise? I'm still adamant that my wife will never drag me on one.

The thought fills me with horror...stuck with a boring couple from Telford for two weeks...feeling claustrophobic...eating all day and doubling my body weight. No thanks.

However I have been told that eventually people like me always crumble. On Monday's show we will be covering the launch of the Queen Elizabeth, the third Cunard ship to bear her name. As part of this we will be discussing the joys or lack of them of cruising.

Can someone please tell me what can be pleasurable about being cooped up in a little cabin...with the only thing to look forward to an evening watching a club singer who didn't make it onto X factor? cummings@bbc.co.uk

I had a few supporters this morning agreeing with me...however many more trying to move me over to the dark side!!

John in Cheltenham says that he's about to go on his 27th cruise next week...he's been doing them for 15 years and loves them. They are no longer just for the wealthy... anyone can now enjoy them and see the world in the best way.

Pat in Cheltenham says she doesn't like the idea of cruising with thousands but a small boat of 500 passengers through the Norwegian fiords is magic.

Francis in Christchurch says that she really can't see the point in cruises...when you go on holiday you pick a place and then arrive and explore the area... on a cruise, you're just bobbing around not really seeing much...

Jenny in Stroud said her favourite cruises were when she was younger and living in Southampton. They used to have docked parties on the big ships and then head home later that evening...great fun and you didn't have to sail anywhere!
