When we first dipped out toes in the water to see if we would like to cruise; we did a four night cruise. We found this to be way too short!!!
If everyone in your party is excited to give cruising a try, I would recommend seven nights. If you have at least one person in the crowd that is absolutely positively sure he/she will hate a cruise; than I would recommend a shorter cruise.
But I would at least make it four or five nights. It gives you a little more time to learn how to navigate the ship and figure out how it all works. There is so much to do while on the ship that you will probably be skipping something in order to do another thing that sounds more interesting. And if you do miss something one day it may be offered the next.
I must admit, when my wife first suggested we go on a cruise (1987) I was one of those people that was never interested in giving it a try. We have our tenth cruise booked for next year, 10 nights.
