Creator's Key Takeaways
If your goal is to experience the biggest, busiest, and most feature- packed ships in the fleet, you'll want to look at Royal Caribbean's Icon and Oasis classes.
For many travelers, Quantum Class is the sweet spot. These ships offer many of Royal Caribbean's modern features, but on a slightly smaller scale than Icon and Oasis class.
Cruise fans often describe them as a sweet spot because they balance amenities with a more intimate onboard experience.
They don't have the flashy attractions you'll find on the newer ships, but that's also part of their appeal.
