My wife and I went on a 4 day (Royal Carribean) cruise a little over a year ago. I can't say we'll ever be back on one.
We found it to be the epitome of cheese. Things we didn't like:
1) The food was plentiful but not very good (everyone else seemed to rave about it, though),
2) there was just one small non-salt water pool on deck,
3) the fact that they decide who you sit with at dinner is ridiculous,
4) asking every 2.3 minutes if you want a $7 cocktail, even placing it in your hand then asking how you want to charge it,
5) the loud obnoxious heavily-tattooed folks chugging the coors light cans in the pool,
6) the extreme cheese of returning to your room and seeing envelopes laid out for each staff member with the TV tuned to a station telling you how much to tip and how to do it.
We went to Grand Lido in Jamaica for our honeymoon and that is a place I can't recommend highly enough. Incredible food, lush scenery, very helpful but NOT pushy staff, etc. Great great place.
If you want to go the cruise route so you can see different islands, keep in mind that in one afternoon you're not taking in the culture. Choose one island and have another one to look forward to another day.
