Tampa has the older smaller ships which I wouldn’t go on any longer. They are boring, terrible shows, and actually more crowded with smaller people. We went on 3 cruises with these smaller ships last year and hated them, the cruises before Covid were on the largest ships.
When you are looking at the ships for your cruise, look at the ships amenities before booking. The big ships that have around 6000 cruisers or more have the best nightly/daily shows, separate rooms for music, the entertainers are more talented, and the front of the ship is usually for adults only with many hot tubs, bars, sitting areas, etc.
To prove this point, check out the shows/entertainment on the RC Mariner ship vs the RC Wonder of the seas or the Icon or the Utopia of the seas.
If you want to play pickleball, check out the RC Symphony of the seas ship, it has indoor pickleball.
