Creator's Key Takeaways

So if you go to cruisecritic.com uh and look at the reviews of ships, uh there does not indicate bigger is necessarily actually better.

I was on the Navigator of the Seas a few months ago uh and has got quite an array of water slides on board.

There are definitely crowds on those larger ships.

If you just want a quieter vacation and want to be able to go watch a lounge singer and have a nice quiet dinner, you'll be perfectly content on the smaller ships on the fleet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book entertainment reservations in advance for larger ships.
Choose smaller ships for a quieter vacation and to save money.
