Creator's Key Takeaways

They are in the exact same class. But, when you look at the actual deck plans and the onboard features highlighted in our sources, you realize they are wildly different.

You should expect to spend 25 to 40% more than that base fare on onboard costs.

The Luna actually represents this secret, almost stealthy, strategic pivot by the cruise line.

It is a billion-dollar testing ground for family-centric travel, interactive deck spaces, and demographic-targeted entertainment.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Calculate the space ratio to see if you'll have room to breathe.
Apply the 25 to 40% onboard cost rule to your budget.
Navigate the free at sea tax loopholes when booking.
