Breakaway Class & Pluss Class vs Jewel Class

[Barcode78]

There are obviously more restaurants, bars, and various other venues on the larger ships.  My question is how crowded is a Jewel Class compared to the mega ships?  Does a fully booked Jewel Class feel just as crowded as a fully booked mega ship?

 

I have been on the Escape, Getaway, Breakaway, Epic, and the Joy.  I enjoyed all my cruises but finding that I only do such things as the ropes course, water slides about once a cruise or sometimes not at all.

 

Some ships seemed very crowded and some did not.  Even on the crowded ships the wait times for bar service or meal service were acceptable.

 

All in all price and itinerary are always the key factor of any decision but their are some neat looking cruises in 2021 on the Jewel Class that I am considering.

 

What do people think who have been on both?

 

Thanks for reading my post.

The ship feels less crowded for the most part sans the pool. That is crowded no matter what ship or cruiseline you go to

The Jewel class ships have 3 banks of elevators:  forward, midship and aft.  No ridiculous waits and riding up and down to get a spot like on the away class chips.

I have been on the Jewel and 4 of the larger ships. But i have been on 5  cruises in the last year on the larger ships. I find  these ships offer the best pricing/ entertainment/restaurants/and things to do during sea days.Once on a 4000 plus passenger ship i can not see going back to a smaller cruise ship.
