Why might somebody prefer a small ship to a large one with more facilities?

What will be an ideal response?


A ship’s size is one of the most important factors for lifestyle and vacationing preferences. Size also determines the number of passengers you’ll share the ship with, the amount of activities and amenities offered on board, the overall ambience of the ship and the level of luxury available. Cost is an issue too. The size of a cruise ship can also have an effect on the price of its sailings and the average age of its passengers. Big ships generally tend to have more features, more amenities and cost less to cruise on; while smaller ships tend to offer a cosier, more community-like atmosphere at a higher price. The lower cost and greater number of entertainment options attract many families to larger ships, while the premium price and relative simplicity of entertainment options on small-ship luxury cruises often attract an older clientele. (There are, of course, many exceptions.)
