Creator's Key Takeaways

I've decided there is a perfect size of ship to go cruising on although it's not as obvious or straightforward making that decision as I thought it would be

Small ships have much less of all of these things and they tend therefore to have a more classic and traditional cruise ship layout

The revelation I had is that perfect size is pretty complex and probably will and should change by trip

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the age and mobility of your travel party when choosing ship size
Big ships offer more stability for those prone to seasickness
Small ships provide easier social interaction and fewer lines
Match ship size to your vacation style: busy resort vs. quiet intimacy
Evaluate port access and itinerary preferences before booking
