Yes, cruises will absolutely leave you behind unapologetically. Here is a compilation of a bunch of people who found that out the hard way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xuBT8t31mk

It has been a while since I have cruised, but I can tell you that it is a very different experience from a traditional vacation due to all amenities being offered on the ship and predetermined itinerary. The ship can feel quite cozy, but you don't usually get much time at each destination. People are often more open to meeting strangers because they are all on vacation in the same boat. This differs from a land-based vacation where you choose where to go...you eat at local restaurants..people you meet aren't on "vacation mode"..you may have to rent a car and you can decide what you do or how long you stay, but there are no "amenities" unless you stay at some super nice resort. I think everyone should try it at some point. It is a unique experience.
