- In this interesting video about the world's largest cruise ships, we'll explore how cruise ships work, the benefits and challenges of working away from the shoreline. And before reaching the shoreline, the ship often faces another challenge - trying to dock the massive vessel in an unfamiliar harbor, which requires outside help to climb aboard. Modern cruise ships are cities afloat and can offer passengers a whole range of activities! Such as a reserved area for yacht club guests, restaurants, entertainment centers, bars and lounges, pools and slides, water park and much more!
This brand new mega ships that is sure to amaze ship lovers!

It is completely unclear to me why people want to go on a sea voyage and then reside in a shopping mall / hotel lobby / entertainment center.
Days are filled with shore excursions in exotic ports, not sitting on the ship.
@@user-db6pt7vr3l Already clear. It must be a huge pleasure to be pushed through a coastal town by thousands of fellow travelers and constantly checking the clock so that you can get back to the ship in time for departure. I can imagine disembarkation and embarkation taking longer than the excursion. Well, whoever likes it, let him. I do not like it.
Sailed on Wonder of the Seas in June 2023 on a 7-night cruise. My wife and I stayed in an Oceanview Balcony cabin near the middle of the ship on the starboard side. Our fare was about $1800 each; we also paid around $240 for the Wi-Fi package for both of us. We only ate in the complimentary restaurants. We did excursions at 2 of the 4 ports we went to for around $200 total. The gratuity charge for the cabin was about $230. I purchased, on average, 3 alcoholic beverages per day (all cocktails); costing $45-50/day (wife doesn’t drink). We purchased coffee at Starbucks 3-4 times and each did an acupuncture session….that was fricken expensive. The grand total was about $5500. That does not include the drive down to Port Canaveral from near DC and back (rented a Suburban, as there were 6 of us) and hotel room the night prior to the cruise.
See the supposed little stuff adds up. Timing is also important. We did a Transatlantic Eastbound on a Solstice class ship this spring. It was not even half full. We kept on getting upgrades all over the place. We wound up in a Sunset Verahdah at the rear of the ship which is the best cabin you can get and the total cost for 13 nights was less than half of what you paid for one week on the Wonder. The solstice class ship was plenty big enough.. While we were in port in Barcelona (a great place) we saw the Symphony. It had just set a record for the largest passenger transatlantic crossing. 5500 people or thereabouts not including the crew. We were on the Wonder the year before Eastbound transatlantic and I could not imagine that ship full up. So I realized thats what everyone was opting for. A crossing on a Oasis class ship. But they paid through the nose as you did. I cant fault them in the sense taking the Wonder Transatlantic (First Eastbound Transatlantic) was a dream but ours last year was about 1/2 full. I think this was lingering fear of Covid. So you have to look for the bargains and then make your choice.
I think I'll rather stay at home.....
Thank you for that detail. Most people seem to be reluctant to divulge what they spend. I went on the NCL Getaway for an 8 day out of NYC in the spring 2023, and my cabin (Club Balcony) deck 14 was about $3200 (was solo, so the whole thing on me). Then I got the Spa pass ($358) and their private deck access called Vibe for another $259, plus medical insurance at $199. I ate only in the main restaurants and it was wonderful. I figure the whole thing with souvenirs cost me about $4500 , even close to $5K all told. Now you can certainly get an inside cabin and do it for less, but there's nothing like waking up to your own private balcony on the Atlantic Ocean.
@@Gardis72 I agree. Rolling solo is my preference after having roommates who I should never have shared a hotel or cruise cabin with in the first place. I am willing to pay for the cruise if I want to go and enjoy my peace and space. Going on Celebrity in October and it's almost 3000 just for the cruise with everything included then add on a flight and hotel. I am traveling 2 days prior to the cruise because I have to go from the east to west coast so I'm avoiding anything that could happen with delayed flights or weather. Glad that you got a chance to cruise and had your own private balcony on the Atlantic Ocean. I am looking forward to having my own veranda on the Pacific Ocean.
Cruised the Med. In Sept.22 Azamara....lovely..lovely small ship! Incredible service...they remember what you drink....wich wine you like...they greet you by your name! Amazing!!! Excellent food even in the buffet!Great long stays in ports....cost: seaview ...$ 5.800 for both of us ...all included even transfers !!Flights $2500 both of us...Only payed for excursions extra! Amazing cruise! ( prices are almost double next year!!😢) Never cruising on a big monster like that !!
What a nightmare. I can't imagine the shore excursions with 9,000 people pouring into the destination.
So it's not just me thinking that this is an all around mess....
To be fair not everyone leaves the ship at port. I bet it's close to 50/50.
Only around 6,000 max as usually the crew dont leave the ship
Can one imagine going onboard to chill-out and finding yourself in a crowd everywhere you go? Russian floating brezhnevska housing. And wierdos in lunch rooms.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊رتبحرحترترع😊رتححىحر😊😊ع😊عب😊
I worked on a Cruise ship for 14 yrs and I know how it feels. Some of the narration is exaggerated but working onboard is really an experience that you can be proud of. I really miss it but there is a limit to work onboard and all I can say is Love and Enjoy the Experience.
How about the corona vacines???
A few years ago I did cruise on one of these big cruise ships the oasis of the seas. We felt like cattle the whole time the boat was overcrowded at every venue especially embarkation. Going forward we decided never to cruise on a ship that has more than 3000 passengers.
😥
i totally agree brother sounds like a nightmare, not for me
I loved every bit of it! More importantly it was never super crowded unless there was an event going on. The beautiful thing about cruising is with the different classes you can choose as small a ship as you want. Everyone wins!
Yes! We were on the 7/14/23 sailing and had 6700 passengers, never again
I tried most size ships...love the big once and also loved the small once...a matter of attidude
I would never go on one of these floating monstrosities. I dread the thought of paying big bucks to be on an island with thousands of people I don't know or like and not being able to escape.
So true, I'm very selective of the company I keep and having thousands of strangers on top of you?? No no.
You left out the "floating petrie dish" cliche...
All crew ship needs a doctors, nurses, dentists, security guards, jail.
Pharmacists, pharmacy to get their medications.
There's alot of incorrect facts here ranging from costs to height of ships. Entertaining, but the facts were not verifiable.
I think you should really double check your information before you post. At one point, you said the icon of the seas has a height of 1,198 feet. There’s no way that it’s that tall. I’m guessing you meant the length was 1,198 feet, but there was a little arrow on the graphic, showing up and down next to the ship, when you said height.
Also, you said cruise tickets cost anywhere from $25,000-$1 million. On what planet? I’ve taken some fantastic cruises and none of them has cost me over five grand (one came close and that was a 12 day cruise). And I think the average price of a cruise somewhere around $3000-$3500 with an all inclusive package
Yes I noticed that also, the cost of the cruises is no where near what he's talking about.
Fr tho
I am going on a Viking ocean cruise for two weeks for two people in a suite and it costs $27000.00 . You do not know everything…
@@pamelapanzenbeck6035 He said cruise tickets in general, I mean, yes, some cruises have high prices, but I have cruised 13 times, none of which more than 10k.
Good footage but inaccurate, incomplete and unorganized narration.
Um lindo Paraíso.
Uma verdadeira obra de arte.
Amei muito belo.❤❤😂😂
We sailed on Princess cruise in 1977 and I had the best time of my life as a 9 year old!!😊
Height and length are different things. You know that, right?
Wow! The things you NEVER think about. Morgues on cruise liners. Yup. Needed, but hopefully, never used. Thanks for the video.
I can't imagine a cruise ship over 1,000 ft tall. I will take a trip on this ship next time .
*long
Me neither, can't imagine a floating skyscraper in the ocean lol
I wouldn't cruise on any ship this large, not even for free. I go on vacation to get away from lots of people not to be around 9000 people. I would much rather be on the smallest cruise ship with the fewest people. Embarkation & debarkation day must be a nightmare for them. I feel so bad for the crew having to deal with this many people. I hope the cruise line is paying them well for having to deal with that madness.
Cruise service staff are highly paid
Different level different prices 💰 all not the same
@@wendyshoowaiching4161 If you notice a lot of crew members are from very poor countries and they work for much less money than say Europeans or people from the U.S. the people who do the most work, cabin stewards and kitchen workers get paid the least amount of money somewhere around $400 per week. Mind you, they work 12 to 16 hours a day most days and they work 7 days a week. A day off for them is a 4 or 6 hour day.
A river cruise is about what I can take.
True Pamelapope
Titanic all over my head now 😢. I could have forever fear of ship.
Nice so big cruise ships is like cattle can see nice viewing amazing people injoy too because everything we hove ❤❤
My family prefers smaller ships with less people at a lower cost. I cruise to get away from city life. This is almost like a city on water. Not our preference. Thank you for all this information on the big boats. A lot of information here. Appreciate all this.
My family and I just went on a boat like this in May, called Oasis of the Seas. Never. Friggin. Again.
What a nightmare! It is like living a the most populated space on the planet, you cannot get away from the crowed, then again we all have our likes and dislikes.
Just looking at these floating cities and the crowds inside, I know that's the kind of vacation I definitely don't want to spend my money on.
Smaller ships incur higher costs. This isn't a city on water so much as an amusement park.
😅@@marcellogenesi6390
In the past hundred years ONLY 22 cruise ships have sunk… wait a minute. What??? TWENTY TWO??? No way I am going on a cruise now
Well, over a hundred planes crashed, lots of trains derailed, and millions of car crashes, Cruises, are very safe, and if a cruise ship does sink, the fatalities are usually very low.
@@OrangeRBLXyt I know) I was more kidding than being serious. It’s just I knew Costa Concordia sank, Admiral Nakhimov in the USSR, Estonia.. but I did not know there were 22 disasters with cruise ships. Actually Estonia does not even count as I think it was rather a ferry than a cruise ship
@@Tim_OSKOk thanks for making yourself clearer, and yes, Estonia is a ferry.
Mankind’s madness continues!
🇦🇺💯%
My worst nightmare.
I've been on 3 cruises. 2 large ships, 1 medium size. I really don't have a desire to cruise again, but if I did, I would like something smaller and more intimate. I don't need to be on a floating city just because it has "so much to do".
That boat has got to be the most HIDEOUS THING EVER BUILT! It doesn't even look like a boat!
Ships aren't boats!
These things would make great reefs.
Yes - after being detoxed!
Great!
Has the International Cruise Victims Association already authorized navigation?
What a huge cruise!
I wish I could try this experience at least once in my life :)
What's stopping you? You certainly can sail on any ship, it doesn't have to be the Icon. I don't think it would appeal to me to be with 7,000 other humans, no matter the ship size. Personally speaking
@@Gardis72 What if it was the size of the earth? (Edit: I mean, I know there will never be one but What if?)
Like many, I always thought I wouldn't enjoy cruises. But went on an Alaska cruise with Royal Caribbean and completely changed my opinion. We went to the Bahamas after that and it was a blast! It's basically a floating mega resort that makes stops at various ports for additional experience. We don't drink alcohol but did buy the soda package. Most restaurants are included and AYCE. There's always something to eat. We paid for the soda package and prepaid gratuities and didn't pay anything else beyond that while we were on the ship. Of course, shore excursions are extra but your choice.
@@steveh5307that's what I do, I stick with the main restaurants which are numerous and fabulous, on shore days I stayed on the ship and enjoyed everything. But it can run huge money if y8ou book many excursions and go to specialty restaurants.
@@Gardis72❤Q3Eé\\ä😅😅😅MI. CT w
The height of the ships mentioned are wrong I guess. 🤔
Really a height of 1198ft So then its length is like 10,000 feet, or 5 K.M., so it is 4 times bigger then a battlestar?
Lol that’s crazy
that dont sound right man, think about it 5k long is crazy
It’s 1198 ft long, not tall. This guy needs to find another job, this ain’t it.
@@phux One mistake, we all know.
Amazing achievements
O QUE EU DIGO EU PROVO COM ISSO OBJECTS FOR FACTS #
One giant wave and you're all fish food! 😂😂😂
Idk why the ocean liner lovers say “oH wE jUSt HaVE FlOatiNg BatHtuBs tOday” BE GREATFUL. WE SHOULD BE GLAD WE HAVE FUN SHIPS. SO BE GREAT FUL NOW!!

Shut the hell up
Amazing vid
NOAH : HOLD MY BEER.
Amazing machines. From an experience standpoint I'll probably pass unless some great deal comes my way. Sailed on Oasis of the seas, the technically smaller but also ridiculously huge younger sibling and found it to be too many people. Overall the ships are big enough to accommodate all the people, you can certainly find free space at any time, but all too often the places you want to be at the times you want to be there are overflowing with people who had the same idea. This isn't completely untrue for cruising in general but it's more extreme on these Royal Caribbean mega ships.
30 years ago there was a article in Popular Mechanics about what future cruise ships would look like. As I remember the this huge floating hotel type was included but there were some with open stern lagoons that got stuck on the drawling board.
What these big ships says “Covid”. Too many people for me 😮
Really ? August 2023 and you STILL belive in that BS , covid ???
paranoid fool
Best cruie ships are the small ones!
Where is the Pacific Princess when we need her?
I did love Royal Carribean's Soverign class Sovereign of the Seas, Monarch of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas. I cruised on each one and they were amazing. At the time that Sovereign of the Seas came into service, she was the largest ship in the world.I cruised on her twice. I do love the smaller ships too HOWEVER I won't frown on Mariner of the Seas or Symphony of the Seas. They are large yet amazing ships that I enjoyed cruising on.
Este Cruzeiro e um Hotel 🏨#
Fun fact: The Icon Of The Seas will be the biggest ship on earth after its naming ceremony (I think it will)
Crazy. I heard "wonder of the seas" is the largest.
It is. I think the other one just has more passenger capacity (sleep cabins).
I can't believe all the commenters who can't figure out that he made a mistake and meant to say 1198 ft long, not high.
Made in Finland👍💪❤
9.15 The morgue "quite rare...."(!) Thanks a lot!
The morgue seems like a very peaceful spot to chill without too many people.
We just went on our first cruise, the Carnival Elation, a few days ago 🚢⚓ It was incredible
Wait till you try Royal Caribbean.
@@jean-paulmaurice4486 How much is it for 10 people? (my husband and I have 8 kids)
My Cruise videos just came out today 💖✨
@@jean-paulmaurice4486 imagine having supper at a restaurant on one of the cruises when the sun is going down 😍
so like 1 crew per 2 people seems like alot. are these prices per room per night or like per person for the entire trip?
Well, its not 1 crew every 2 people, as some crew members are not assigned to clean rooms and stuff like that, there are tons of different roles, not even including the 10-25 bridge crew
Very entertaining
I think being on a large cruise is like traveling in big cities; you have to know how to manage. Yes there are lines but lots of choices. I've been on Oasis of the seas and Harmony of the seas; had a lot of fun and would go again.
How much money did it cost you and please would you adopt me? 😅
Going on Oasis for 5 nights in December with stops in Jamaica and Haiti. It’ll be my second one, first was on the much smaller and older Enchantment.
I’ve got to go on a cruise on that ship!!
Icon Of The Seas?
I have cruised numerous times but I prefer smaller ships. These just look like cattle calls. Too many people for me.
What happens to them if they are caught by a hurricane or other violent weather?
That wont happen due to the ship's navagation systems
@@Remibiggestfan But unexpected storms can happen at sea..
Let say hurrance in Puerto Rico, then Cruise ship will not go there
@@MrLanternland
Don't cruise in hurricane season 😊
Stay stuck on board until weather calm down
Just too damn big for my taste. It’s like a whole damn town goes on vacation with you.😮
I did cruise on a RC ship once, and that was one of their smaller ones. Never again. I like the small cruise ships.
I love your comments... Teach me.
There is so much stuff wrong with the video I can’t put it in 1 comment
Correct, he is spouting unrealistic costs. We cruise for less than $100 per day about twice a year. Ocean crossings are our favorite.
Yeah, there’s no way icon of the seas is 1200 feet tall. And the cruise prices… $25,000-$1 million? On what planet?
Maybe in his currency not USD
Oh wow that’s a cool ship.
Great!!!😲😲😲
Yup, we've been to one and we did not like it. We cruise a lot but that was the first time we had to rush to go see their shows and still we couldn't find a seat. It wasn't relaxing at all. Too many people. Next time we cruise we will look for a smaller size ship.
I went on a cruise in 2002 and it was fun. However, today's cruise ships are much nicer and have many food options. I look forward to going again
I can't imagine a cruise ship over 1,000 ft tall
Right? I mean it does NOT exist but yeah,
Colors and aesthetics scream "Barbie's Dream House of the Seas". 😂😂😂
Sangat luarbiasa kapal pesiar megah dan indah ok thankyou full
I will take a trip on this ship next time 😂
Go for a cruise to get away from the big city.
Now you’re in a floating city with many people. 😂
The price of boat 🚢 made already in few days with that high price 💰
i'll go on one. if it's gon stay dock to land.💯
عمل مدهش جبار . شكرا جزيلا لكم .والله يحفظكم ويرعاكم ويحميكم جميعا . تحياتنا لكم من غزة فلسطين .
9 THOUSANDS PEOPLE!?!?!?!?
I can't imagine a cruise ship over 1,000 ft tall. I’ve got to go on a cruise on that ship!!.
@@bkk115 Agreed!
The Titanic was the tallest ocean liner? Wow didn't know that, interesting.
So ridiculous looking. Sardine can with 9,000 people bumping into you. Yea..such fun. Will take at least 2 days to evacuate ship if it sinks.
Totally agree with you 🎉
No problem--a ship that size will probably take at least 2 days to sink.
As a matter of fact, a lot of the larger ships have more square feet of space per passenger, so they actually feel less crowded than a small ship.
Hello sahabat ku apa kabar🙏🙏💕✴️💐💐🙏🙏
Honestly so incredible 😮😮
Wonder of the Seas 1,187 ft long
Icon of the Sea 1,198 ft tall.
Just great 😮
Lies
I noted that as well. Must be the talest ship for decades to come.....
@@FlyToChina0071 It's not that tall, he messed up in the video.
I know. Funny nobody noted this before up-loading it on RUclips@@OrangeRBLXyt
Waaw amazing.
After titanic accident disaster, I will bring in my inflatable plastic boat.
You and me both.
Sadly you can't use it in the pools... 😢
That ship looks so fckn HIDEOUS.
It is not enough to go to the warplanes, but to reduce the cost of fuel, it is taken on the ship
If you have the disposable income to afford paying 1.3M for a vacation......it won't be on a cruise ship with 5000 other people.
I went on one of those with my kids. The fare was about $2000 and we spent about the same on the extras like shore excursions and beverages. Expensive to be sure, but not anything like what this is saying.
I don't know where this video got the idea that $25,000 was the low number.
@@joeignatius7198 I went on a Norwegian cruise a few years ago and befriended a family who sprung for the most expensive "villa" (1 of 2 on the ship) and they gave us a tour. Very nice very exclusive....everything is catered and you have a butler....27K.
@@joeignatius7198Makes no sense. No one would go if that was the price.
its so big😳
I will take a trip on this ship next time...
That thing ferries a town, bricks included.
Could it survive a rogue wave
Cruising used to be a 'deal' but it's getting expensive. A year ago a week cruise on Oasis of the Seas (the then biggest cruise ship in the world) with two exterior cabins with ocean balconies for for people was $4200This past summer the exact same cruise was over $10,000.
never
Viking cruise lines are more along what I would want. Nice quiet relaxing cruise, no one under 18 so no kids running around.
Now I can be VERY BROUD to be a FINN as many these giants were build here in STX Europe Turku shipyard, Finland. 😎
Symphony of the Seas was built in Saint-Nazaire, France. Like Harmony of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas.
I can't imagine a cruise ship over 1,000 ft tall. wow that was a really interesting video, thanks for sharing :).
😂 they should QA the video. It’s 1,000 ft tall?!
How deep is the water at the port for this behemoth to float? 😫
At the minimum depth, around 10 feet from the hull of the ship is the sea floor.
@@OrangeRBLXyt
Sounds like it could sink easily
@@FJB_The_BigGuy Very, its dangerous operating such big ships in such shallow waters, one small wrong move could prematurely end that year of the ship.
Where the tresh go to emtied
Nice big beautiful Ship, but who wants to find him & Herself doing a downtown crowd during rush hour while on vacation??
Madness. If something happens at sea.......
The thumbnail 😂
Great video.. I learnt something today..Ty
You also learned the fake costs of the tickets on a ship, and the fake height of Icon of the seas
Wow!
...And now all they have to do is put plexiglass all over the ship so no one can jump off!
Make a giant dome around the ship is my solution to that problem.
Cruise ships carry way too many people for most ports they visit.
Getting into a port and being the only one there is bad enough but with several there at one time, you get a small city worth of people all jammed into a waterfront not meant for it. Then You get to be in the mob everywhere you visit in the area. Have experienced it twice. Never again.
The thumbnail. 💀💀💀
Yo I’m a bit early can u do top 20 biggest or most expensive cruise ships
Such cruises are great if you are a American middle-class couple who wants to "go to Europe"
Or rich
Very nice information. Thanks. KHB LHR
I heard they are building a cruise ship so big that you board at one end and step off on the island at the other end without the ship even having to sail on the water.
Wow very nice luxury ship..hope we will on board with my family soon to the help of our almighty God..
A technical marvel but I wouldn’t be seen dead on it.
Here in Virginia, it has been planned to bring a cruise ship up the York River to Williamsburg. The locals are fighting this. I cannot imagine what 3000 people getting off would do to that beautiful historic city. No thanks!
Wherever these obnoxious ships go they ruin! Venice and Key West for examples...
