Even if no cryogenic freezing is involved, a long enough trip will cause enough time dilation to really f-up your relationship with people back home.
Go to a 20 ly away star at 0.9c, it'll take you 22 years each way. So that's a 44 year round trip for YOU. Meanwhile back on Earth, a couple hundred years have passed.
A strange universe we live in, isn't it?
