The Adventure looks absolutely incredible. I got the most excited about Edna Mode's confectionery - that whole ship has a lot of themes from Disney that I really love!
The ship type that I’m most looking forward to hearing specifics on is Royal’s new Discovery-class. They’ve been hinting at it for months if not years at this point. There’s a target audience for a smaller, mid-size ship with an emphasis on destinations, albeit with the typical vibe you expect from Royal Caribbean.
These new ships are looking absolutely incredible! I'm excited for how some of these brand new ships will learn from others already in their fleets. World America is going to be fascinating - there were a number of things that just didn't work on World Europa - let's see if they fix these onboard this new ship!
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Ah! Don't worry - nothing huge - just some areas of the ship not really pulling their weight from a customer attraction point of view, therefore making some other parts super busy! For example, the outdoor promenade is a huge space but was always deserted, forcing people elsewhere! Have a great trip!
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Can't wait for your take on World Europa! World Asia is definitely on my radar, and she could easily be the biggest megaship in this region 🥲
NCL needs to step it up because looks like the competition is coming up with some heavy hitters so will be interesting to see if prima plus does the job!
Celebrity! Their Edge class ship transformed me into someone who might actually cruise again after visiting Alaska on the Edge a few months ago. I'm not really a cruiser, we just wanted to go see Alaska. There was an earlier comment about having a target market for smaller mid-sized ships. That's me; I am that target market.
Ahh i love new cruise ships! Will never understand why most of these mentioned are going to the bahamas? Lol. At some point, more destinations will need to be added.
Some of the new ships do sail the Mediterranean, but you are right many sail from Florida to the Bahamas or the Caribbean. Where would you like to see them sail in the future?
@ if the newer ships can sail from galveston, LA, and even san diego. That would be awesome! Central america has many great places to visit. I guess its just a question if they have big enough ports
We are booked on the MSC World America in Yacht Club and we are really excited about it!! I'm also excited that they are including the secret speakeasy that is also on on the World Europa ship. I hope I get picked :D
I was on the world europa ship in the summer I think all yacht club members get a one time pass to the speakeasy but I'm not 100% sure about that.I wasn't in yacht club myself but got to go it was amazing it's over 18s I'd say it will be over 21 on the world america ship you have to pay for your drinks price range €18-€25 and shots were €9-€12. We booked the world america ship as well hopefully I get to picked again.
MSC World America because the sailings are a reasonable price for a new ship, unlike RCL & NCL. A lot of these ''new'' ships are just a copy of previous ships.
Maybe MSC is better in other areas of the world but they are crowded, with uneven service and food in the US. I agree RCL has responded to high demand with gouging but the on board product is consistently high.
@WSAnderson definitely hard that also. Plan for are first cruise 🛳 mom and my dad go all the time with carnival. My cusin in his family go carnival or Disney.
We will see if the World class can compete with Oasis-class or Icon class as we sail on World Europa this month. We agree the price point is great, but onboard experience uneven at best. Which MSC Cruises ships have you sailed on?
My absolute Favorite is Royal Caribbean. They have some of the best Ships ever built. Always being the Best, Biggest. And there service is spectacular. Along with there ports.
Disney 100% will not build a sister ship to the adventure. It was an already built ship that they redesigned to fit DCL (you can tell because it isn’t the prettiest ship). Plus the 4 new ships Disney ordered will be a little larger than the Triton class (around 160,000 gross tons)
I’m just hoping that Celebrity’s next class of ship will incorporate some of the Solstice-class’ design features, like traditional balconies. As a European based cruiser that generally travels with a multigenerational group, most of these ships aren’t really targeted at us. lol
I'm losing hope in Celebrity. I can't stand the "ship within a ship" nonsense going on. Why would anyone want to sail on class ships that restrict whole areas of a ship to "suite" passengers. I'd never book a suite. For what reason? I spend very little time in my stateroom as do a good amount of others. No observation lounge, no library, noisy Grand plaza, the Edge ships aren't my cup of tea. The Xcel is just another Edge ship, nothing new there. In fact, most of these "new" ships are just add-ons to already existing ones with some tweaks. When will this industry stop with all the new ships and work at refining the experience fleet-wide? Are cruise passengers like children that always need a new shiny toy?
Disney Adventure is not designed by DCL, but bought half finished after Dream Cruises went broke. It seems loyal DCL fans are quite unhappy with the design, but even if that gets popular DCL would probably have to work on their own megaships.
True, but the ship has a similar layout to Oasis-Class or World-Class, so we are excited to check it out. We think the venues look amazing, even if U.S. guests are the target market. Are you a DCL fan?
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Not tried DCL, but comments from other cruisers and RUclipsrs alike aren't too positive. Also Genting ships aren't really known for being premium. Given a Wish-class ship will also be built and likely home ported somewhere 1 hour train from my home I know which one is the safer bet. Maybe I'll try other DCL megaship(s) if that goes well 😂
I don’t believe US cruisers are the target audience; it home ports in Singapore and will likely stay in Asia, at least at first. I'd love to check it out, mainly because of the hybrid nature of the ship, but Asia is far down my cruise destination list at present. Love DCL, though, and I'd love to try Adventure someday.
Bigger isn't better for everyone. But NEWER isn't always better either. To me, the cruise industry for a while now keeps marketing new, new, new. That's a problem. You should market to your niche or a target cruiser and refine the product and not constantly build new ships that, in many passengers minds, make the "older" ones "dated" or almost obsolete. A lot of these new ships emphasize restaurants for extra pay and extra pay activities. How else can you pay for all these new ships?
More and more cruise ships, higher prices and less services and food quality, compared to 25 years. We know because we've done 95 cruises in those years and has seen a lot of goodies and services disappear. They lowered food quality to entice folks in speciality restaurants which many do not even come close to the main dining room food quality and services of 25 years ago.
Went on a cruise with NCL. Didn't like it. The food wasn't good, service not good. The people that worked on the ship were not nice to cruisers. Crowne Grill is a really good restaurant. Not a bar person, a place to nosh yes. Problem with Disney, no casino.
The Adventure looks absolutely incredible. I got the most excited about Edna Mode's confectionery - that whole ship has a lot of themes from Disney that I really love!
We think it will be amazing too! Have you booked a cruise on the ship?
MSC World America is already booked and I can't wait to book disney advennture for 2026
We are looking forward to booking Disney Adventure too! Have you sailed with either MSC Cruises or Disney Cruise Lines before?
I hope the Star Princess does not have all the start-up issues that the Sun Princess did and still has.
We hope so too, as we did like a lot of aspects of Sun Princess. Are you a Princess Cruises fans?
The ship type that I’m most looking forward to hearing specifics on is Royal’s new Discovery-class. They’ve been hinting at it for months if not years at this point.

Yes, it would be great to get a new class of smaller RCI ship.
These new ships are looking absolutely incredible!

What didn't work on World Europa? We are sailing on her later this month.

Wow what a line up for 2024 to 2026..
Yes it is, planning on any of these ships?
Great video,very informative! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Which one are you most excited about?
NCL needs to step it up because looks like the competition is coming up with some heavy hitters so will be interesting to see if prima plus does the job!
We booked our cruise on the Norwegian Aqua out of Miami next year great video.
Awesome. What itinerary are you doing?
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Miami- Puerto Plata DR- St Thomas- Tortola British Isle-Great Stirrup Cay Bahamas.
Royal Star baby
🫣Imagine that, a roller coaster on the top of a cruise ship🫣Terrifying...
It’s actually really fun. A short ride though. Some Carnival ships already have them.
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Well, Im glad you enjoyed the ride and are safe🎢take care...❤😊
You're great man. I continue to live vicariously thru all of you guys...
Thanks. When is the next cruise?
@Eatsleepcruise1 nothing planned yet.
Great presentation Don B! Lots of ships to choose from.
Thanks! Which ship are you most excited to try in 2025?
Celebrity! Their Edge class ship transformed me into someone who might actually cruise again after visiting Alaska on the Edge a few months ago. I'm not really a cruiser, we just wanted to go see Alaska.
There was an earlier comment about having a target market for smaller mid-sized ships. That's me; I am that target market.
I’ll be on the Icon in February!!
But I want to sail on them all!😅
Good thing I booked the best new ships a year ago!
Hopefully you got a good deal? Which ships?
Awesome summary! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Plans to sail on any of these ships?

NCL Aqua, MSC World America, Brilliant Lady!!!
You have all of those booked?!? We are very jealous! 🤩
@ looking forward to Brilliant Lady in 2026 for Alaska
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
You're welcome! I hope you're excited for what's to come in 2025. Which cruise ships do you plan to sail on?
We are booked on the MSC World America in Yacht Club and we are really excited about it!! I'm also excited that they are including the secret speakeasy that is also on on the World Europa ship. I hope I get picked :D
MSC Yacht Club is fantastic. Have you stayed there on other MSC Cruises ships?
@@Eatsleepcruise1 No, not yet. Our first time in MSC Yacht Club will be in January on the Divina. We are looking forward to that too!

We are booked on the AQUA in May 2025
Awesome. What are you most excited about on the ship?
I’m not into MSc. But shheesshhh that world America looks amazing
Us too. We are sailing on World Europa soon so be on the lookout for that review. Who do you typically sail with?
@Eatsleepcruise1 carnival first. But have 4 NCLs under my belt. About to #5 NCL in December
Going on inaugural
Seeing World America there, it would be good to see a comparison to how it differs from World Europa
We will work on that. Actually sailing on World Europa this month. You excited for any other ships on the list?
very nice video thank you so much
MSC World America because the sailings are a reasonable price for a new ship, unlike RCL & NCL. A lot of these ''new'' ships are just a copy of previous ships.

As long as MSC remains cheap I'm fine even if some areas are subpar.
Interesting great new inventions 😅
Sailing Carnival Celebration July ‘25
Awesome. Have you checked out our review of the ship?
@ no I haven’t would you mind sharing it with me I’m excited to check it out. I heard that ship is amazing
World America!!
Yes we are looking forward to testing that ship out as well. Have you sailed on other MSC Cruises ships?
@@Eatsleepcruise1yeah, meraviglia last year and seashore in a few weeks!
Thank You
What a time to be into cruising!
We agree. Any plans to sail on some of these ships next year?
I'll need to wait til 2034 til the prices reach my budget..I don't do "brand new" but still excited about these new experiences
My absolute Favorite is Royal Caribbean. They have some of the best Ships ever built. Always being the Best, Biggest. And there service is spectacular. Along with there ports.
Have you sailed on Icon of the Seas?
star of the seas the best cuise ships in 2025 in to icon class
We sailed on Icon and thought the ship was amazing. Have you sailed on her?
Booked world America inaugural.
Mabey Norwegian aqua
I'll be damned, it'll be incredible to see a cruise ship with an amusement park.
Sun princess and it's soon November 20th
Have a great cruise. What type of stateroom are you staying in?
I will cruise in Jan 2025 in the Resilient Lady from Virgin Voyages and in March 2025 in the NCL viva.
Two great ships. Have you sailed with either cruise line before?
@ no is my first time on both. I cruised in Carnival from Miami on 2017 n from San Juan on 2020.

So far…
Disney Adventure is not designed by DCL, but bought half finished after Dream Cruises went broke. It seems loyal DCL fans are quite unhappy with the design, but even if that gets popular DCL would probably have to work on their own megaships.

NCL i as Ok also my first line was NCL.
NCL Aqua looks like a nice evolution of the Prima-Class. Which NCL ships have you sailed on?
Back to the future dosen't surprise me I was 40 in 2023 now in 2025 will be 40 years anniversary to back to the future
This is great and all.. IF YOU LIVE IN USA! Maybe put that in the title so people that dont live in USA (95,7% of the world) dont have to watch it.
You do know the US has the biggest cruise market right we are the primary I
consumer there for videos so cater to the majority
Which one is having a stripclub bar?
Wonder that would be Virgin Ships imagine .
SUGGESTION: THE SHOPPING MALLS OF THE FUTURE NEED TO LEARN FROM THE CRUSE SHIP INDUSRY.
How so?
The arena on the Princess ships is wasted space I hear bad reviews on this
The one show we did get to see was fun, but not necessarily a highlight of our cruise.
If this disgusting mega ship trend continues I will not be cruising anymore.
Sad, but bigger isn't better!
There are several smaller ships from Oceania Cruises, Viking, and Ritz Carlton also launching next year. What is your favorite cruise line?

@@Eatsleepcruise1 look at her outside. That‘s not a ship anymore, that’s a barge with an waterpark and family hotel put on top
