IMO, and its just that, my opinion. I will not do another Excel class ship again. Too big for many of the amenities that they offer. I sailed when it was still only 60% capacity and with the ship that empty, the piano bar was still crowded with many people not able to get in. The comedy club was still packed with many people not getting in. The casino was packed. Many times at midnight, the line for pizza stretched back to guest services. Royal has the same amount of people on their Oasis ships, but the Oasis class is a lot bigger than the Excel class.
