As to spending "all your time in public areas", there are ways to deal with that too. For starters, a repositioning cruise often isn't fully sold out, so the ship just isn't as jammed. For semi-private public areas, there are lots of nooks and crannies to be found. The library is a good one. That exercise room during less popular hours. Lots of areas all over the different decks during the more favored dining times. Think non-rush-hour for whatever, and you'll be fine.

I loved the repositioning cruise I took, and am watching for another good deal one. www.vacationstogo.com can be a good source.
