Differences Between Older and Newer Royal Caribbean Ships

Choosing the right Royal Caribbean cruise ship is essential. There are several options to choose from, with some cruise ships being older than others. However, it is not necessarily the age of the ship that should determine whether you choose a particular cruise. While older ships may be lacking some of the updates and technology you would expect approaching 2024, the newer ships may also pose health hazards and dangers as evidenced by the number of accidents, injuries, illnesses, and deaths aboard Royal Caribbean cruise ships over the years.

There are over two dozen cruise ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet. The oldest ship, the Grandeur of the Seas is over 25 years old and Royal Caribbean is planning to launch two ships in 2024, the Utopia of the Seas and the Icon of the Seas.
