What size ship do you prefer?
With all the big ships being built, how do you feel about the size issue?

We enjoy the 90,000 GT ships, but we booked the Diamond Princess for this May. Liked the itinerary and the price!
It's all good!

My hubby absolutely loves the bigger ships so many of our cruises have been on the 90,000+.

I just voted! The smallest ship we have sailed was the Zenith. We were on it for 2 weeks and I always got lost. I don't think I have ever been so disoriented on a ship! We did have a wonderful vacation, though!

Can someone explain the tonneage thing to me? Is that how much water the ship displaces or how much it weights? Or something else?
