Any input is greatly appreciated. I would like to try but since I have this fear of drowning, do you think this kind of trip will be worth it?

Thanks!
The chances of drowning on a cruise are infinitesimal. Cruise ships are basically floating hotels which enable you to unpack once while visiting different ports of call. Because your fear of drowning appears to be very very strong, I would suggest starting out with a short cruise of two or three days to see how you handle it before signing up for a week long or ten day cruise. You might surprise yourself.
