I haven't personally taken one, but my parents went on one a couple of
years ago.  They didn't particularly care for it because they didn't
think themselves as that old (it's heavy on the geritol set), and/or
they wanted to do more than drink.  I think they said there was some
dancing but they thought it too crowded to be enjoyable.

I remember reading in the Post a few years ago that the captain of the Dandy
got drunk and rammed a bridge.

For a wedding anniversary, consider a quick trip to the Bahamas.  With
airfare pretty cheap now it's not too much money.  Short of that, check
out some of the Bed and Breakfasts around the area.
