- WORLDS LARGEST CRUISE SHIP MAY NO LONGER BE ROYAL CARIBBEAN.
Royal caribbean has the 6 largest cruise ships in the World. With 2 more coming over the next year. One cruise line however may be going after the title of largest cruise sip in the world. MSC cruise lines is in talks with a ship builder to possibly build a cruise ship even larger than the Icon of the Seas.

I wish instead of focusing on having the biggest ships at sea, someone would focus on having the biggest cabins at sea with the most amenities and best entertainment. Having the biggest ship is more about lining their pockets rather than satisfying their guests.
As long as those mega ships keep selling out there isn’t going to be a focus on that anytime soon. Prices are so high because cruise demand is higher than it has ever been right now. When empty rooms start showing up on these mega ships then maybe what you want will start to come back. But it may be a while.
@@redstratus97 i don’t find the prices to be too high. I would pay more for a cabin that advertised more amenities and more room. I suspect most people would. I think this is a huge untapped market. Most people don’t care how big the ship is if they are packed in like sardines. Some untapped advertising points-square foot per stateroom. Staff to passenger ratio. Included perks.
They exist. Those cruisers companies are some like Silversea, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, Ritz-Carlton or Paul Gaugin. Their cruisers have big cabins but of course you gotta pay more because they are high-luxury category cruisers, you know?
They’re getting ridiculous with these behemoth ships 🚢 😮 Start building smaller ships please 😮
There are about 10/12 Big Cruise Ships out of hundreds... no one is forcing anybody to book these Big Ships... There are plenty of Smaller cruise Ships...
Cruise lines are going to enlarge themselves out of a number of markets. So many ports are already trying to limit passenger loads in their towns.
overbuilding=debt=bankruptcy. Bigger is not always better.
Not with MSC. They’ve got a massive cargo shipping company to support them, the traditional cruise lines don’t have that luxury
I think the Oasis Class ships are awesome. I've been on the Wonder,Harmony and Symphony. Had a really great time. It will be interesting to see where the big ship building goes from here.
Those are the most balanced Class cruisers from RCI
I am not a fan of the bigger ships. 2500-maybe 3000 passengers is plenty.
Don't want large ships. 3500 is just about right
How much bigger do they need to make these ships? The bigger they make it ,the more they charge us . The more staff they need. Ridiculous!!
Staff per passenger is more important than total staff. There are many jobs that don't grow in number in relation to ship size, for example you only have one captain and similar number of bridge grew. Also there are efficiencies in scale.
I want to see a 300,000 gross ton ship.
Agreed. I went on Oasis. It's big enough.
@Juancarlo4342 Largest oil tankers are close to 500,000 tons
.
Luckily for you, won't be able to see space cruisers few centuries ahead from now when they can easily reach over 2km length 😂😂😂
MSC may make the biggest ship but they will never have the complete package like Royal does.
Yes at double the price.
I prefer the Celebrity Edge class ships. Love the suite experience on those ships.
I don’t know, but bigger isn’t always better…. Give me a 3500 passenger boat every day!
I don't know, but smaller isn't always better... Give me a 5000 + passenger "boat" every day!
I agree, Bigger isn't always better. I prefer smaller ships.
I agree small ships are the best
Those floating cities are why we don't sail with RC anymore. Quality over quantity!
The problem with a war on who has the largest ship are the ports. There already a lot of ports saying they cannot handle the giant ships.
MSC builds beautiful ships but they just don’t build them with the assortment of easygoing fast food restaurants on board. The entertainment is more Classical but high quality but maybe more versatile is needed.
I didn’t realize the Icon was 7000+ passengers. I’ll have to try a big ship sometime.
Our first 3 cruises were on MSC several years ago. We took the grandkids and had a great time.
Our prayers go out to that mans family. Who went overboard. MSC has been doing a great job hear. Some of my coworkers really like them.
And how many ports will deny entry to this ship? This is nothing short of a cruise line hosing the public for every penny they can in return for tacky decor, nickel and dime services, and a breeding ground for norovirus and other illnesses.
I am definitely not a fan of those gigantic ships. I like the size of the royal class on Princess the best.
Bigger isn’t always better
The biggest problem with MSC, is if they build a ship larger than the Icon, they'll have 9000 passengers plus crew. Their ships are always over crowded.
I have no desire to sail on a mega ship.
same here.
@@jameswade7550 2000-3000 passengers is perfect size for me
Yes, yes, yes!
I have no desire to sail on a small ship... been there, done that... I like Mega Ships better...
I will have to bring my car on board
No mega ships for me, please keep smaller ships for us who do not enjoy large ships. Also these mega ships cannot enter all ports (bridges, wind blowing them around, & locals just do not want them)
I think there will be a backlash if there isnt already
MSC has deep pockets. Privately held company with mostly cargo ships at sea. They didn't go into debt like RCCL, Carnival and Norwegian during the pandemic. They can move the price point down on cruises since they don't have giant loans to payoff. If MSC gets the food and service figured out so it is competitive too RCCL just might find themselves being forced to lower prices.
That can’t be a bad thing. As much as I have no desire to cruise MSC, they are really needed as a disrupter with deeper pockets to keep the others in check
I will always be Loyal to Royal no matter the size!
I don’t like the larger Ships. I like the ones the hold under 4000 total
I can't imagine that Royal Caribbean will just let their title go.
If you've never cruised on an Oasis class ship, you're missing out!
Oasis class ships are PHENOMENAL!!!!
I've been on an Oasis class ship. No one is missing anything if they haven't been on one.
I totally agree. They are amazing. Nothing like them.
Thanks Don. I'm glad to hear that MSC has improved the entertainment on it's US based cruises.
Don I remember cruising on the largest ship. At that time it was ncl’s Norway!!!!
still have very bitter tastebon hiw MSC treated Ben and David , so not interested in trying them.
I completely agree with you.
Msc has the money to build it and they dont have to ask permission.
Oh no not another one!
I’ve been on 3 MSC CRUISES. I have had no issues with the food. The yacht club was amazing!!!!!! The service was excellent.
20 nights, transatlantic on the MSC Seashore. Sorry Don, but food was the biggest disappointment. Small portions, bland food, VERY repetitive every day in the buffet.
These cruise lines need to stop putting money into building bigger ships and start paying their employees better wages .
You’re right Don I live in Houston Texas and Galveston is building a terminal for MSC
Maybe they should concentrate on updating their smaller ships cabins and restaurants . SMH
I would prefer a middle size 2000 and less passenger ship challenge...which one offers the most at mainstream and permium prices.
Bigger is not always better. Wasn’t it the Queen Elizabeth ship that almost flipped over?
I'd like to try out MSC sometime. Seems like they've worked hard to improve their reputation.
Hubby and I sailing on MSC Seashore in July. They are lovely ships. Just got off Allure- and it was ok! Service great but in need of updates and cleaner carpet.
The bigger the ships...the least amount of ports!!! I thought cruises were visiting foreign lands and cultures.???not just sitting on a boat for 7-14 days
Don, I want to see you wearing that Mexican sombrero on the hat rack behind you... (JK, sort of) As always, thank you for the content. 😊
I liked the MSC Seashore and Seaside. I have no desire to sail on anything bigger. I would rather have new ships the size of ships like Celebrity Equinox or Emerald Princess
I am part of the American audience, but apparently my tastes are quite different. I would love 6 out of 7 nights being opera.
$$$$$$$ and a title and it's gotten ridiculous! The focus should be on quality cruise ship overall management and not chasing the tail(s) of something else.
Those mega ships turn me right off. 600/700 max passengers is enough for me. On our last trip Seabourn Ovation was able to pull into the harbour in Monte Carlo. Now that’s the kind of cruise ship I’ll stick with.
Don,question. What are the odds of these ships' capability and manuovering easily and proper sailing , being built so monstrous. Personally, I am worried about too much size and proper movement
Why keep building bigger and bigger ships when all the popular ports are reacting by cutting back on passenger counts? Cause and effect?
My vote is msc
I feel growing by MSc will become the largest cruise line
Look at carnival they are putting ships in us market by taking them from costa cruise line
I feel msc will become the biggest cruise line in the world
They have the money and keep growing
The cruise lines really need to have size limitation treaties like the interwar navies of the 1920's and 1930's. No wait! That didn't work out ! 🤣🤣
I always go with Princess and Celebrity and Royal Caribbean
Msc not sure. Better stay with Royal-Celebrity-Princess.
Don't need any larger ships. It's almost like a you know what measuring contest if the various cruise lines are trying to one up each other. I've been on Ovation and that was big enough for us. Under 4,000 is probably just enough.
For God's sake, Don, just smile when someone takes a photo of you! Your Night of the Living Dead zombie gape is so bizarre and off-putting that I close my eyes when the music starts and don't open them until it stops. So many of your photos are just creepy.
Sorry to hear the gentlemen passed condolences go out to family and prayers. Large ships are limited to where they can port. And when vacationing I really don't want to feel like I'm in a city. Interesting after MSC Comes out Royal will I think make a bigger ship.
I have sailed on quantum of the seas 4 times. It is too larhe for queensland ports which means tendering into the towns like Cairns. Personally, I much prefer a smaller ship. Fewer crowds. It took 4 hours to disembark in hawaii in 2023. Too many people who all wanted to go ashore in the morning.
Who cares which ships are the largest? I want to go on the best cruise ships in the world and those I feel comfortable on. If you want to go on the “largest cruise ship in the world”, I’m sure RCCL is happy to take your money for these overpriced cruises.
I hope msc becomes the biggest cruise line with business and ships
Not everyone loves Royal Caribbean or carnival
I enjoy having cruise line thinking out side the box
When cruise lines become too big they forget customers
My vote is msc
Those huge ships would need more than 7 days to get familiar with. Since I have no sense of direction, perhaps 30 days is ideal.
They have to come a long way to match the American market, my brother just came off one and hated it, food, service and shows, don’t match any other line!!!!
Some ships are just a little too big for my taste. Oasis class is as big I will go on, same as the Mardi Gras class. As for MSC, we have been on the Divina, Seaside, seashore and just love the food and entertainment. My honest opinion is all they need is comics to compete with American cruise lines. Not necessarily in Europe, but most definitely in the American market.
With an increasing number of ports banning large cruise ships, there will the new Mega ships visit?
it's a size war - MSC - from what I hear - maybe focus on other things.
Icon of the seas is our favorite ship now. I am sure if they build bigger ship it will be probably breath taking.
Don can you explain why building a mega ship is better than two smaller ships?
Come on Don fit the intro. No reason for it to be over 18 sec long. Make it like Just Don about 8 sec. Please we are subscribers we know who u are. PLEASE
We were just on Seashore. Nice ship, bathroom was so tiny and the elevator system took some getting used to. Other than that, it was great. We usually don't go in the hot tubs, but theirs😢 were long instead of round, which was nice. You don't have to look at everyone. Just the ocean.
They need to realize that bigger ships are not better. Maybe for the company but there is a lot of congestion!!! I am going to stick with the Oasis class.
Call me callous or hard hearted, but somebody going overboard on a ship no longer feels like news.
Sad to hear about that young man losing his life.
At some point bigger stops becoming better
The mega ships don’t impress me - way too many people. Prefer the midsize ships…especially those with a proper promenade deck that allows you to walk all the way around the ship while gazing at the ocean.
I always look for a smaller ship. I do not want to cruise on a floating shopping mall with an amusement park on the deck. When you have that many people on a ship, service is going to suffer.
Haven't sailed MSC and probably won't.
We will never go on these megaships. We found Anthem of the Seas too big.
I don’t like large ships. I just don’t want that many people congested elevators, stress of having g to book shows or not being able to get to see a show.
the biggest ship I have been on is Carnival Celebration and love it but I think ships are already big enough, never been on MSC
I love MSC! Have been on three cruises with them and all were great!
I love sailing on an older and smaller ship. I just did Grandeur of the Seas out of Tampa, and she was lovely. There is talk of taking her out of commission as she is the oldest ship in the fleet, so i am glad i sailed on her.
So many ports want to limit how many passengers come per day. Where will all these large ships go?
i always thought these big ships were too much..not so much for the size as it scales but because the ports get super clogged (they dont scale like the ships do)
Is cruising going to decrease ships too big and too many good people. 😮
This big cruise ship needs to stop because all the ships can’t fit in all the ports so build smaller ships please
Now Royal will come out with another larger ship!
There are more and more ports putting limitations on the number of passengers they can accept each day. Eventually, there will be a time when these huge ships will have more sea days than port days, and the cruise fares will be out of reach for most people.
Largest isn’t a title I would want. Limits itinerary.
It might be nice on one of those huge ships but my wife says no so that's the end of that. Besides, bigger is not better ⚓️
I have been on 11 cruises on msc and I have been saying this that they are going to be number one in a few more years
Being even bigger does not impress me- It seems like it is a just a land resort that is put on a hull
What about the Disney Cruise ship being built in China, I thought it was going to be the biggest
Bigger ships not always better ships in my opinion
Ships are just getting way too big, for me!
Bigger is not always better. We have no interest in the Icon as it is.
I don't think we need bigger ships. Way too big
I've sailed on MSC several times, in Europe, North America and South America. In Europe and South America, MSC is very destination oriented, so ship size isn't as important. Most of their ships are in the mid size range, around 2000-2500 passengers. MSC provides good value and the entertainment and food is definitely improving. I really like their status match program as well.
We want new smaller ships out of Tampa!!
I wonder how big is the point of diminishing returns.
What are they going to do when these ports, say we don't want the big ship
Ships are getting so big that it’s hard to enjoy them.
Thè bigger the ship, the less likely I am to sail on it.
