Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean has 28 ships. So, no, we are not doing all of them individually.

If you're walking from the front to the back of the ship, you're covering some serious ground.

They've got something called destination elevators. ... This alone is worth mentioning to anyone with a walker or a cane.

If you're noise sensitive, try to skip Utopia short cruises. Book Wonder of the Seas instead.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose a ship class based on your priorities: mobility, quiet, or cold-weather cruising.
For noise sensitivity, avoid Utopia short cruises and book Wonder of the Seas instead.
Book a Central Park balcony cabin on Oasis class ships for a quiet retreat.
Request decks 8 through 10 on Quantum class ships to avoid vibration from the music hall.
Get travel insurance and have a backup plan when booking older Radiance or Vision class ships.
