Creator's Key Takeaways

I love going on Royal Caribbean's older cruise ships with a great value they have

older ships tend to command a lower price than newer ones

the cabin is probably one of the first places you'll become aware of a ship's age

I much prefer the hard plastic enclosure not a big deal not the end of the world

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓pick up a cruise ship Outlet expander to ensure you have plenty of outlets
✓take advantage of the larger Schooner bars on older ships for great seating and ocean views

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

cabin aesthetics differ from newer ships — expect wall color, artwork, and bed skirts to stand out on older ships
fewer app features on older ships — core features like online checking and managing onboard spending are still available
no Broadway shows on older ships — evening shows still include dancing, singing, and music, but lack a coherent plot
