Creator's Key Takeaways

They finally gave us information about the Discovery class and confirmed it. Except we really don't know much more than we did before this.

Michael Bailey said that many of the assumptions that are currently out there in social media in terms of size, capacity, etc. probably it's fair to say inaccurate.

I still think it's going to be 4,000 passengers. I just have a there's no way, mark my words, in 2029, there is no way they're building a cruise ship smaller than 4,000 passengers at double occupancy.

The more people they put on the ship, the more profitable it is, which is why Royal Caribbean has edged towards bigger and bigger ships.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get travel insurance when traveling internationally on Royal Caribbean.
Consider booking flights through the airline for easier changes later.
For StarClass, take advantage of unlimited laundry and specialty dining.
