Something I would have zero interest in sailing on. Not a big fan of crowds.

I've cruised with the Royal Carribean a few times starting with a cruise to Bermuda in 1987 with Nordic Prince. Always a first rate experience with this outfit.

The ships are massive and you never have time to see all of it. The customer service is beyond description. The food is incredible. They freshen up your cabin every single time you leave it, for example.

A little more pricy than budget lines like Carnival, but well worth it.

That's about 100 feet longer than a Ford-Class aircraft carrier.

How many tourist ports of call can handle a ship this size? Or will this just be an 'out and back' cruise ship where you just chug around the ocean for a week gambling in international waters?

What hasn't been mentioned is that John F’ing Kerry,the world's most successful gigolo, had an identical one built for him...and paid for by his senile 95 year old wife.

Post scamdemic Royal is cheaper than Carnival. They have less debt than Carnival. Service is not what it was but still very good

No interest in going on a cruise. I can be wherever the ship sails to within several hours just by hopping on a plane. I don’t need to sit in the middle of the ocean, kids screaming and people sick from whatever germ is being spread around. I get the luxury aspect of it, but I get the same service from staying at a first class resort.

These top heavy monstrosities need just one rogue wave to turn it into a bad 70s movie
