We have done both large (but not ginormous ) and small ship (200 cruisers on a two week Baltic trip) and both have their advantages and disadvantages. We loved both but the small ship was able to get into the canals and places that a larger ship could not. We liked that aspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-41006631568391430622014-05-15T15:55:10.903-04:002014-05-15T15:55:10.903-04:00Looking at those pictures was pure paradise!
