I hadn’t even realized that about them. I too like a variety of perspectives. But Canadians are Americans- North Americans.

We really liked GCT but the twin beds- not so much.

We’ve been on GCT. Can anyone tell me how it compares to Vantage and Gate 1?

MacMadame--Would you not even compare Carnival to Walmart or Target?

CDNPolar-Viking was not my favorite river cruise lines so I am hesitant to take one of their ocean cruises.

This topic has gotten derailed. I think you should start a new post!

“seem to recall a higher proportion of infirm passengers on larger ships.” Well that is certainly true when talking about river cruises. Some don’t even have elevators ( though there aren’t many flights).

I don’t love crowds but after 10 nts on a 700 passenger ship I felt a bit confined and like there were a lack of ( new) dining options and things to do. And I am one who can usually easily entertain myself with a book .

Unfortunately, I’d get so sick on those smaller ships!

Yes actually I was, though I thought the Princess quality had gone down when I recently went, after having not gone for 10 years with them.

I agree with all of the above except I found the food as good on Princess, Celebrity and RCCL as Oceania and Azamara.

It’s economy of scale too.

We have not been to the western Caribbean.

We also have not been to Grenada.
