Creator's Key Takeaways

I'll break it all down for you and tell you why I actually love cruising on the small ships.

Being on a small ship has some advantages over a mega ship. One is that it's literally easier to get from one place to another.

If you want a relaxing vacation, a small ship might be perfect because you don't feel the need to go go all day to see and do everything the ship has to offer.

On the small ships, you get more personalized service. With fewer passengers, the crew get to know you better.

Save money by cruising on a smaller ship and use the savings for specialty dining or excursions
