We prefer the mega ships - the newer the better. Seems as they make new ships, the add amenities and make the rooms larger and better laid out. Plus, we just like "new."
The amazing thing - just because there are 2200 or more pax on a ship doesn't mean you are crowded. The newer ships have many different common areas and the crowds disperse throughout the ship. I just never feel "surrounded."
Other's like the intimacy of a smaller ship - getting to know more of your fellow pax because you run into them all the time. That can be a nice plus, but it's one we don't personally need on our cruise.
Although I truly love NCL's Freestyle/Princess's Personal Choice - dining when, where and with whom you choose; for your first cruise, you might want to try scheduled seating - where you dine at the same table with the same staff at the same time.
