They are one of THE best vacations you can take. Once you are on ship the staff caters to you, its whatever you want. There is something to do all day every day. Some ships have morning exercise programs, stretching and walking or you can pay for other things like Spinning in the gym. All cruise ships have gyms so you can go workout usually any time from 6:00 AM to late at night. There is usually a walking/running track on one of the decks also. Some ships leave the gym open all night. They call the gyms Spa because they do promote getting pampering thuff like wraps and massages with aromatherapy. They will also generally have abeauty salon to do hair and nails..
Ships have movie theaters, small but nice, and you can also see movies in your room. There are demonstrations on ship like ice carving, napkin folding and towel folding, cooking demonstrations.
Each day you will receive a "newsletter" listing the time, place and particulars of each event. You can schedule land tours and activities also during the day and evening when the ship is in port. There are generally shows every evening, one show for those with an early dinner seating and another (same show) for those who eat late. There is always food available. Usually there is a place in ship where you can go get something. Or, you can always just pick up the phone in your cabin and order from the room serviice menu (food is free). If you want, you can order breakfast room service.
There are places on ships to play board games and cocktail lounges that feature a variety of mucis. There is usually a disco that starts after 10:00 PM each night.
Then there is always the pools. Some ships have more than one and the newer ships generally have an indoor pool as well as outdoor ones and all of these have hot hots.
I suggest that you go to the web site for the cruise line you are going on and look at the features for the ship you will be on. I hope you have picked a balcony cabin, or a suite, they are more relaxing and fun.

They're great! Most of the time the food isn't that great. For good rates try cruise411.com
I think 10 days is perfect. More than that would be too much.
And every time I take a 7 day cruise, I feel like staying a couple of extra days... So go for it! Have FUN!
P.S. If you can, get a room with a balcony... very romantic. I did that for my honeymoon.

Check out the Princes Cruise Lines. My wife and I went on our 20th and had a great time. 10 days would be great. We went for 7. Princes had the best shows of all the ships.

Baby they are the bomb, I've gone on two cruises so far and they were fun. They offer alot of onboard entertainment and you get a chance to go offboard and enjoy the various destinations they travel too. All the food you can eat most of it free. Great staterooms and the ships look like big hotels on the water. I say go for it and enjoy. Que
