One measure of "spaciousness" (if that's a word :rolleyes: ) for cruise ships I've seen is to divide the tonnage by the pax. Forget what this term is called but it does give you an indication (remember "gross tonnage" for a vessel is essentially a measure of cubic feet) of how spacious the ship might "feel." Of course doesn't account for the actual size of suites or particular common areas that you and your party might frequent; it also makes some rather simplistic assumptions about Engineering plant spaces and such. But, over the years, I've found it works pretty well. Larger (essentially, more cubic feet per pax) is better.

So, Voyager is 65.7 and Nautica is 43.9.

Try it with other ships you've been on and see how it compares to the impression you remember from your trip.
