But I think you are right about perhaps not being a good match.
Besides eating early, we tend to be somewhat loners, I get sea sick, I like BIG hotel rooms that I can't afford, and we are usually in bed by 8, up at 5.
Don't worry about being loners--there's always space to just sit and read or be together. You are never forced to be with others unless you want.
Most cabins are similar to smallish hotel room--and you can always buy bigger.
Sea sick can be a problem but there are remedies. Bigger ships tend to bounce less and have good stabilizers.
Not quite as upscale as Celebrity but Princess main dining first time is 5:30 nowadays. Specialty not until 6:30 though
I always suggest to people who have never cruised--take a short one one to 4 days (NOT Carnival IMHO) to see how you like it.
