IMHO, the smaller ships are more to my liking for a number of reasons

- there's usually less than 300 passengers on board
- the ratio of staff to passenger is higher
- they dock at smaller ports, so you're not unloading with 5 other huge ships
- the food and the service

...okay, you don't get the big Broadway Shows, but the entertainment is always great
My understanding on smaller ships you get one choice of entertainment each night. On larger ships you have a number of choices. For example on our last cruise which was on Carnival we saw a show in main theatre or you have a choice of cover band, piano bar entertainer or comedy show each night.
