Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently went on Enchantment of the Seas which is a really old ship built back in the 1990s and I actually enjoyed my cruise a lot more than I thought I would

the shows and entertainment aren't nearly as Hightech or quite frankly up to same quality as the newer ships out there

the food on any royan ship old or small big or new is going to be still really good

older ships have that advantage of being able to go to other places around the world

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pick a cabin that's on an ideal location to avoid movement issues
Book a cabin right in the middle of the deck to reduce seasickness risk
Verify that the ship you're going on before booking has been Amplified

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Fewer bells and whistlesIf you don't care about flashy attractions, older ships provide a more relaxed atmosphere with smaller crowds and cheaper prices
Cabin size and decorLook for apt facing balcony rooms on Radiance class ships or junior suites for more space
Show qualityCheck out live entertainment around the ship, like piano bars and theme parties, which can be more engaging
