What’s more important to you…ship or itinerary?

my first few cruises it never occurred to me to look at the actual ship I was sailing I just looked at itinerary

over time I've come to realize there can be some pretty meaningful differences that can make or break a cruise experience

the lower tier tends to be these older classic smaller ships as you go up in class you're going to see that these are newer ships that accommodate more passengers

the big benefit is they have a lot more amenities all the way up to Royal Caribbean's new Quantum Ultra class
