The article gives a very appealing description about the longest cruise. It contains all the luxury one person could wish. Moreover, it is a way to visit the main ports/countries around the world at the same trip. It is likely that you do not need to think in anything since the crew will give all the facilities: where to go, what to see…However, I think that staying on a ship for almost a year can be a little tiring and you will eventually miss your home and routine, without speaking about the sensation of stumbling.
I sailed from Denmark to the South of Norway in a ferry some years ago. For me the experience is unforgetable and memorable. I suffered from sea sick and spent vomiting the whole night. Moreover, the sea was specially rough and the ship looked like it was to crack the next moment. I spent the next day trying to recover myself, thus I could enjoy neither the landscape nor the excursion. Since then, cruises have not atracted to me too much and also, they seem to me very expensive.

You have written your responses very well. Sorry going on a cruise isn’t your cup of tea anymore. Kindly take a look at some sentences that you can structure better:

It is likely that you do not need to think in anything since the crew will give all the facilities: where to go, what to see…
> It is likely that you do not need to think ABOUT anything since the crew will ARRANGE the WHOLE ITINERARY ON where to go AND what to see.

I suffered from sea sick and spent vomiting the whole night.
> I suffered from sea sickNESS and spent the whole night VOMITING.

I spent the next day trying to recover myself, thus I could enjoy neither the landscape nor the excursion.
> I spent the next day trying to recover. Thus, I could NOT enjoy neither the landscapeS nor the excursion.

Since then, cruises have not atracted to me too much and also, they seem to me very expensive.
> Since then, cruises have not BEEN APPEALING to me THAT much ANYMORE and also, they seem very expensive TO ME. / and also, I think they are very expensive.

Keep up the excellent job!
