We prefer small ships, first was on Seabourn Legend, last one on Scenic Eclipse but have done 450 and 600 Seabourn and 900 Crystal (once) but have a cruise booked on Explora that we are looking forward to. Having seen many greats bands, performer's, shows on land I personally do not pick a ship for the entertainment. I would prefer an interesting conversation with someone I just met vs. a mediocre performance. JM preference.
