Creator's Key Takeaways
Mega ships didn't make cruising better. They made it busier. Cruising used to be about escaping the world, and now we just brought it with us on the boat.
If you're cruising for experience, mega ships are hard to beat. They have massive entertainment, tons of dining options, endless activities, and I mean endless.
Your best cruise memories usually aren't the attractions. Those are those quiet moments you didn't plan. It is your walk on the deck.
Obviously there isn't a perfect size ship. There really isn't. There's just the right ship for you.

Ships like Icon of the Seas, Oasis-class ships, and MSC World America are packed with attractions, entertainment, and more dining options than ever. But not every cruiser wants a floating theme park. In this Ship Happens RAW debate highlight, Matt and Kat from Kat and Matt Getaways break down the final arguments in the Team Mega Ship vs Team Classic Cruiser debate. Because the truth is simple: Different cruisers want different vacations. Mega ships offer: • massive entertainment • water slides and attractions • dozens of restaurants • nonstop activities • ships that feel like floating cities Classic and mid-size ships often offer something many cruisers fall in love with first: the ocean. More space. Less crowds. More relaxing moments at sea. During this debate we talk about: • why mega ships attract first-time cruisers and families • why experienced cruisers often shift toward mid-size ships • how cruise lines design ships for different travel styles • why the ocean itself is still the biggest reason people cruise At the end of the day there isn’t one perfect cruise ship. There’s just the right cruise ship for the way you like to travel.
