Pros and Cons of sailing on an older Royal Caribbean cruise ship

When you sail on an older cruise ship, there are some tradeoff's and benefits.

Older ships don’t offer nearly as much to do as ships but that doesn’t mean you should avoid old cruise ships.

In fact, many cruisers find that older ships offer a more relaxed cruise experience at a lower cost than new ships. Plus, older ships visit some of the most unique destinations offered by Royal Caribbean.
