Creator's Key Takeaways

the pros definitely you know outdo the cons in this situation by far

I absolutely love the XL class if you told me tomorrow that I'm going on any of those ships I'd be jumping for joy

you need almost two weeks maybe three to really experience all the different food and maybe all the different things there are to do

the deck parties I think can't quite reach what they would on some of the smaller ships so that is definitely a con

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a longer cruise (two to three weeks) to fully experience all dining and activities on Excel-class ships.
โœ“Arrive early for shows to secure a good seat due to limited venue capacity.
โœ“Consider the Serenity adult pool area for a less crowded experience, but be aware you may miss main deck activities.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Too many people on big ships โ€” Excel-class ships have more to do but also more crowds; consider smaller ships for a more intimate experience.
Not enough time to do everything โ€” Plan for a longer cruise (two to three weeks) to fully experience the ship's offerings.
