Creator's Key Takeaways

In choosing your cruise, it's not just about the number of decks or passengers. It's about how that size affects your experience.

They're easier to navigate. There will be less walking and fewer crowds.

The larger ships are typically newer with the latest tech and features.

Don't pick based on size alone. Ask yourself, do I want constant activity or space to breathe?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask yourself if you want constant activity or space to breathe.
Consider if you are more comfortable in a crowd or in a community.
Think about whether you care more about spa and shows or getting into hard-to-reach ports.
