Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean executives call it the future of cruising.

Many loyal cruisers are calling it the beginning of the end and are threatening to switch cruise lines over this massive strategy shift.

Short cruises are incredibly profitable with higher nightly rates, faster turnover, and more drink packages sold.

So, for those travelers, a short cruise focused on enjoying the ship's amenities rather than multiple port stops may work out even better.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking back-to-back cruises to create a seven-night experience.
Explore other Royal Caribbean ship classes for seven-night cruises.
Look into Symphony of the Seas for a traditional seven-night Oasis-class experience.
Consider Icon-class ships for a premium experience, though at a higher price.
