Creator's Key Takeaways
But behind the glitzy headline changes is one that the cruise line hasn't exactly highlighted. More passengers.
more people is not a benefit for the people. It's a benefit for Royal Caribbean's bottom line
more people equals more potential for more queuing. This can really permeate the entire cruise experience with a lot more bottlenecks than one would expect.
I've long documented my personal cruising preference of smaller ships with fewer passengers and to me the many advantages that brings.

Royal Caribbean has announced major amplifications for Ovation of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, and Liberty of the Seas – with big upgrades coming to pools, restaurants, bars, casinos and more. But behind the flashy headlines is one detail Royal Caribbean isn’t talking about: more passenger cabins. In this video, I break down what’s changing on each ship, why these “amplifications” are happening, and the real impact of squeezing more cruisers onboard. From upgraded dining venues like Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen and Izumi Teppanyaki to the new Pesky Parrot Bar and revamped casino layouts – there’s plenty to unpack. But is adding more cabins (and more people) really good for cruise passengers… or just Royal Caribbean’s bottom line? Let’s talk about what this means for the future of big-ship cruising. 👉 What do you think – do you prefer bigger ships with more features, or smaller ships with fewer passengers?
