Creator's Key Takeaways

Sometimes the ship can be a destination all by itself. You don't even have to get off.

I think if Carnival doesn't move in that same direction, I'm hoping they do. I'm hoping there's at least some included options on Celebration Key, but I think I think it's almost required now as a selling point for these private islands.

I think the smaller ones are more personable, better better staff that gets to know you better.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider if you have kids when choosing a ship, as larger ships have more activities for them.
If you've visited ports multiple times, consider staying on the ship to enjoy it without the crowds.
Check what is included on private islands before booking, as policies vary by cruise line.
Look at both ship amenities and itinerary to make the best booking decision.
