I was also a fan of dressing up in the evenings and the waiters that took the time to really understand what his customers preferred, harder to do that on the big ships. But, the big ships are profitable, burn less fuel, attract the casual and younger clientele and focus on entertainment and not the cruise. Just my opinion.

Less of a herd boarding and disembarking, too.
