Creator's Key Takeaways

Bigger does not automatically mean better. The biggest cruise ship in the world has also become one of the most debated ships in the entire cruise industry.

At that point you are not really talking about a ship anymore. You are talking about something closer to a floating city.

The starting price is only part of the story. Cruises usually include your cabin, most meals, and entertainment. But several things are often extra.

The best cruise is the one that matches the experience you actually want.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Organize activities, shows, and dining in advance to avoid missing experiences.
Understand that the advertised starting price does not include drinks, Wi-Fi, excursions, specialty dining, or gratuities.
