I prefer the larger ships myself for the greater choice of amenities.  Most passengers prefer smaller.

By todays standards this is a "small" boat, but remember it is still 50% larger than the Titanic,  Some of my previous Carnival Cruises were on the Holiday(twice) and Celebration which were 45,000 to ships and I thought they were Huge,  Also been on sister ships, Ecstasy, Sensation, and Fantasy, and never though they were small.  My largest Carnival ship to date was Triumph.
