Keep in mind the below categories are a guide only. Some cruise lines fit into more than one category. Names of categories may vary depending on who you read.
Also, there are a varying number of ships within each fleet, carrying upwards of 2800 passengers. Soon, mammoth ships will carry as many as 6000 passengers.
Knowing and understanding the ships that make-up the fleet is a good place to direct your focus.
The following is a sampling of popular cruise lines.
There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Therefore, I also recommend you visit the Savvy Cruiser website for a comprehensive list of cruise ships. You can read the "raves" and "rants" submitted by others.
