I’ve only taken one (Princess) and I’m not surprised either.
Cruises are relatively cheap, and tend to be a floating bar for a bunch of rednecks.

That’s exactly how a buddy of mine described his Carnival Cruise experience.

Yes, this is what some of my friends have reported to me. I was considering taking a cruise and they advised me to make sure I booked with the very most expensive companies. It's a sad fact that as fares have gone down, a different type of person is much more likely to be on board.
On the low cost cruises many of the passengers are scum of the earth (not my words but my friends). Now the vast majority of people on low cost cruises are good and decent people, but when prices are that low there is no way to filter out the scum bags. Now I have NO direct evidence of this but this is what at least two people have told me about cruises. If you want to take a cruise with good people, book one to Alaska. You will not get the same rowdy 20-30 year olds that look and act like the are trying out for The Jersey Shore.
