Seeing as the number of first time cruisers who want to take a second cruise is higher now than it was before covid, I'd say just about every passenger is happy.
Even those that have a terrible time seem to enjoy finding ways that it was terrible.
I'm one of those cruisers who cruises with families who prefers Voyager/Freedom class. And I know I'm not alone just based on who I see on board those ships.
A couple years ago people yearned for the days of when this type of stuff clogged the forums instead of covid talk.
Well, you got your wish! And it's not so bad compared to that alternative.
Agreed. I'd imagine they'd want to keep any new ship, no matter the size, with as similar of an experience to Oasis+ as possible. Can't do that at 70k or 90k GT like Vision/Radiance.
RC is focused near term on big amusement parks at sea, sure. But there is still a smaller ship market, especially as some ports start to limit big ships, plus those that already do. Plus there's been enough rumor about a new smaller class in the future that something's definitely up, especially as Vision and Voyager ships start to be cost prohibitive.
