Creator's Key Takeaways

we have been fortunate enough to have sailed on huge ships such as the MSC virtuosa the NCL Bliss and the celbrity silhouette whil we have also cruised on smaller ships such as the NL Spirit and the celebrity Summit

one thing I can never quite determine is which is the best option for my wife and me

smaller ships tend to work the best for us as we can pre-book things such as dining times for the days when we know for sure we'll want to eat in a restaurant

we would recommend trying the other type at least once you never know you may prefer it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try both big and small ships at least once to see which you prefer
On big ships, plan your days and book dining, shows, and check-in times in advance
On small ships, enjoy more flexibility and spontaneous decision-making during your cruise

YouTube Video Description

If you are trying to decide whether to cruise on a big cruise ship or a small cruise ship, this is the video for you. We look at what we believe are the strengths and weakness of both size of cruise ship based on our experiences of cruising on both types. Both the giant behemoths of the sea and intimate ships offer lots of positives, but both also have some negatives and whilst it will depend on what you want from a cruise ship as to which is best for you, in this video we give you our thoughts on which is the best type of ship, big ones or small ones. We take you through our experience of sailing with the ships and break it down into the most important aspects including Pre-Cruise, Check-In, Entertainment, Onboard Experience, Food & Drink, Itineraries and Value. This is based on us cruising on ships such as the Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Spirit, Norwegian Prima, Celebrity Summit and Celebrity Silhouette, amongst others.
