12 differences between the big and small cruise ships

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator compares the various advantages and disadvantages of selecting large versus small ships within the Royal Caribbean fleet. He clarifies that even the smallest ships in this specific fleet are quite large, often accommodating over 2,000 passengers. The discussion covers several key categories including public space, cost, and dining variety. Larger ships generally offer more public areas, a wider selection of specialty restaurants, and more cabin options like suites. However, smaller ships often provide a price advantage and can access more exotic ports that cannot accommodate massive vessels. The video also addresses physical experiences such as ocean views, stability, and ease of movement. While larger ships may offer a smoother ride and more onboard activities like water slides and Broadway musicals, smaller ships facilitate more intimacy and easier navigation. Ultimately, the creator concludes that there is no right or wrong choice, as the decision depends on whether a passenger prioritizes amenities and variety or accessibility and social connection.
