According the the review, it seems like one of the key features for a romantic cruise is to stay with the smaller ships.

Not to be outdone by the smaller cruise ships, the larger ships are also providing features to cater to the more romantic crowd.

17 of the 21 Royal Caribbean ships have adults-only pools.

Some of the Celebrity Cruises’ ships have adult only private steam rooms and saunas.

Disney Cruise Line ships provide adults with their own cove pool area, cafe, spa, nightclubs and restaurants and Disney’s private island, Castaway Bay, has set aside an adult only beach a mile from all of the others.

The two newest Princess cruise ships have an outdoor spa on the uppermost deck.

It looks like the cruise lines are realizing that whether couples travel with or without their kids, they are going to want an area where just the two of them can get away for a romantic dinner or day at the pool.
