Creator's Key Takeaways

I booked the smallest cabin I could find aboard one of the oldest ships in the Royal Caribbean Fleet to get the real scoop.

This ship has been sailing nearly non-stop for almost three decades with literally millions of passengers coming and going and it still seems to be in great shape.

The ship can make such a huge difference in your vacation.

This Cruise was just not the same.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the smallest cabin only if you prioritize ports over ship amenities.
Consider newer ships for more activities and modern amenities.

Lack of activities on older shipsIf you prefer port-focused cruises, this might work; otherwise, choose newer ships for more to do.

I take plenty of cruises and bring you details on the latest and greatest. But let's be honest, that's now how most people cruise. What about those older ships? Or those cabins that are far from fancy suites? That's why I booked the smallest cabin I could find aboard one of the oldest ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet... to get the real scoop. A three-day cruise for a total of 68 hours onboard... and let's just say... well, you'll see.
