But the cruise product rarely changes for a specific cruise line.
You pretty much know what you're going to get with the likes of Royal
Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, HAL, Carnival, NCL etc.
They may throw a few new "tweaks" at you, but overall they are what they
are.
And even itineraries seem to have hit a point where there's little new. Not
much new in the Caribbean, at least until Cuba opens up. Alaska is the same
as it was for the past few decades. And while Europe was somewhat new as a
cruise itinerary a decade ago, there's a ton of ships in Europe now.
Now I'm not saying that doing Europe for the first time by ship won't be a
wonderful experience... but if most of us here have already done it... a new
review may not generate that much interest.
