Maine schooner cruises are great fun! As others have mentioned above, they are very different from traditional cruises ships...closer to a luxury camping trip.
I was on the J&E Riggin out of Rockland in 2007 (http://www.mainewindjammer.com/index.html). The owners and captains, Jon and Annie are great. Annie is a chef of some renown and produced delicious meals from a galley with only a wood stove. Bring warm clothing and if you plan on helping with the sailing (fun, but not required), bring some leather gloves.
