I've cruised a few times with SO's. I've always had a great time, even on the first where we passed close to a hurricane in the Carrib. When the sea's are rough, the ship has to turn OFF the stabilizer system, which gives you the full effect. I didn't know that. My SO spent most of the cruise in the cabin near the toilet. I wasn't prone to seasickness so wandered the ship which seemed almost empty. I developed a technique of controlled bouncing down the halls. I think 90% of the guests and over 50% of the crew were sick. If you are not prone to seasickness, this is a great time to be on board. I'm not prone to it, but I've heard that if you are, you should limit your diet to apple slices and saltines. Dinners were almost deserted, but service was great with lots of free wine! There was no way you'd be near the bow since it was often under. Was a wild trip for about 2 days out of the 7.
But cruises are a good deal. There are even ones set up for adults and singles.
You might try one of those!

There are other types: being a part of the crew; windjammer type things; even private type things.
