Are megaships going to be the new standard?

[havanadaydreaming]

I've done Mega and I've done smaller, both have pros and cons.

 

the industry will always evolve. my wife has cruised for her entire life and has stories of old time sailings. meh. (I've done all my trips this decade)

 

I DO like it when fewer ships are in a port when I'm there.

It's supply and demand.

 

If there's enough demand, someone will supply it. However, it may not be Norwegian, Royal, or Carnival.

Since I know NCL read this... "no thank you!". PLEASE keep a mix... some large, some small, Jewels hit the sweet spot IMHO. If NCL went all-mega I'd move on.

I think that everything goes in cycles, in 30 years it will be a “new” thing to go on smaller ships for a different generation :cool:

In 30 years the lines won't waste money on gas sailing the ships around. All the "we go for the ship and don't get off at the ports" people will end up winning. :p

Would that be called a "land resort" or "docked resort"?:D

I think the next round of ships coming to NCL are the Project Leonardo ships that are smaller than the mega ships with 4,000+ berths. The Breakaway Plus class is around 4,200 berths and the Project Leonardo ships are 3,300. I think the Jewel class ships are around 2,500.
