    Just booked the ship for next summer on a southern Caribbean itinerary. Sometimes I like a smaller ship, and this one looks like it has been renovated nicely. We are very excited about it. Too many people sometimes can be too stressful.

      It’s not about the number of people, it’s about the layout. I’ve been on ships with 6000 people and never felt crowded. I’ve been on 2500 passenger cruises and felt like I couldn’t go anywhere without lines and masses of people blocking walking routes around the ship

    It seems that many of the "older" ships have more deck room and views of the ocean than some of the "newer" ships. Maybe that really isn't true, but just seems that way in some tour that I have watched. Prefer to spend as much time on deck as possible. I think I'd be a happy cruiser on Rhapsody for sure.
