Creator's Key Takeaways

Go on a ship where you're one of maybe three, four or 500 people.

On a say a 30,000 ton ship, a mediumsiz, small to mediumsiz ship, there aren't queues, there aren't lineups.

And there's never any crowds.

Even on big ships where there are thousands of people, the way they design the ships these days, you don't ever feel that you're sort of mass massively outnumbered by everybody else.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go on a smaller ship if you don't want to be herded about.
Choose a ship with 300-500 people to avoid queues and crowds.
