Voyager class (Explorer) is a real sweet spot for me. Not so big, easy to get around yet big enough to have a lot to offer.
Other Voyager class include Voyager, Navigator, Mariner and Adventure.
Freedom class is basically Voyager Plus. They are literally a stretched version of Voyager class. This includes Freedom, Independence and Liberty. The extra length allows a few more venues and more cabins so more guests.
The Radiance class is notably smaller by a large margin. Radiance, Brilliance, Serenade and Jewel. Fine ships but no promenade. They were built to be smaller so they could go through the original Panama Canal (the ships above couldn't fit the original canal). No promenade means several venues are not present. No ice skating rink, no adult water slides. Indoor solarium for adults so good ships for all cruise seasons.
Looking bigger than Freedom class also gets you into newer ships. Newer ships come with more recent innovations. Oasis class is something that everyone should experience at least once. They are unique and much larger than previous classes. All that extra space allows them to add more venues, activities and entertainment options. The production shows are very good on these ships, much better than previous classes. There is so much going on it helps to disperse the crowds so you don't feel all the additional guests. With so much going on it's hard to try or do everything with just one cruise. Some people feel these ships are too big and they prefer smaller ships. That's fine, to each their own but you have to try one to see for yourself.
Obviously you need to go on another cruise as quickly as possible. Like turning something off then on again - maybe it didn't reset your equilibrium and you need to try again. For science.
