The "typical" weekend cruise passenger is generally not like the usual typical cruise passenger. Due to its short duration and lesser costs, you will encounter more who are out for a "booze cruise" mentality.

If you have a choice of cruise lines, I'd opt for Celebrity or Princess. Stay away from Carnival and RCCL for a weekend cruise - those lines are more apt to get the boozers and all night party-ers.
