    I would absolutely prefer this ship to the oversized and over crowded mega ships

    I prefer smaller ships like this. &nbsp;I do not want to be packed cheek-to-jowl with 6,000+ other folks. I&apos;d really like for the cruise lines to make some new smaller ships like this. Mega isn&apos;t always better!

    Travel advisor here — and yes, we were on the Millennium Bali Cruise with you.<br><br>I’ll be honest: we boarded skeptical. Smaller ships can be a wildcard — and as a travel advisor, I’m usually cautious because the overall guest mix can really make or break the experience (sorry but not sorry 😅).<br><br>But this cruise genuinely surprised us in the best way.<br><br>The crew were outstanding: organized, attentive, and consistently warm — the kind of service that tells you the operation is well-run behind the scenes. And the passengers? Super respectful, social, and just a fun crowd to travel with. We ended up making a lot of new friends onboard, and that says everything about the vibe.<br><br>Bottom line: if you’re considering this cruise and you’re hesitating because it’s a smaller ship, I’d actually put that in the “pro” column here. We had an amazing time, and I’d recommend it without hesitation.

    This is the kind of cruise I dream about. Small ship, not full capacity, delicious food, INCREDIBLE destinations. Give me an older, well cared for ship every time.

    I like these older ships over the new theme parks at sea ships. It’s more the classic cruise ship. Of course, it will all be about service in the end. If you have a nice ship with great service, and the price is right, it might be a great cruise experience.

    Breakfast ending at 9am is a crime!

    The smaller ships are my favorite. So most more relaxing.

    I admit I prefer this older aesthetic when compared to the newer ships you cruise. A very pleasant surprise.

    This looks soooo much nicer than most of the Megaships I&apos;ve seen tours of on Youtube
