Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean has led the way with these mega ships, but the competition is catching up.
Essentially, larger ships allow a cruise line to reduce the number of crew per passenger, leading to reduced wage expenses and of course increased profits.
I was really surprised the first time I ever stepped foot on Icon of the Seas how uncrowded this kind of a giant ship can feel.
Royal Caribbean is masterful with crowd distribution.
