Older Cruise Ships vs Mega Ships (Why You’re Probably Wrong)

Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm going to prove mathematically that on these ships, you're paying double for a whole lot less.
I could take two cruises on a slightly older ship for the same price of one cruise on the brand new ship, it's a no-brainer.
On these newer ships, cruise lines are trying to cram as many people as possible on board.
If you've been on both types of ships, did you notice a difference in service?
