Creator's Key Takeaways

Legend of the Seas will be a winner, but you'll need deep pockets to get on.

Explorer is making huge progress in this luxury, almost ultra luxury segment.

Norwegian is copying more flak than many others.

It's going to be homeported as we've heard in Singapore. That's not the most surprising aspect.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book shows quickly on Royal Caribbean ships due to limited capacity.
Consider Explorer 3 if you want all-inclusive luxury but note children are permitted.
Be aware of potential upcharges on Norwegian Luna despite its improvements.
