Creator's Key Takeaways

there's less space per person than on the smaller ships

The best thing to do is take a shorter cruise and not get off the ship

many of them have obstructed views and some of them don't even have views of the ocean as their interior facing

If you mean more crowds, more people, more kids running around, you're going to get that on the mega ships

βœ“Take a shorter cruise and stay on the ship during port days to experience all features
