The latest and greatest big cruise ship hit the water in the last week of August when Norwegian Prima made its much-anticipated debut. This 20-deck-high, 3,100-passenger ship is the first of six planned for Norwegian Cruise Line in its new Prima Class of vessels.

Traveling in the post-pandemic world has involved constantly navigating COVID-19 requirements for vaccination, testing and masking. As someone who loves to travel, the hassle of jumping through these hoops is definitely worth it - even as protocols seemingly change all the time. 

Soon, I will be traveling to Miami, Florida, for my first cruise with MSC Cruises. I have spent quite a bit of time reading about them, and I am very excited to try the Swiss-based cruise line, which has become one of the largest cruise operators in the world.

When it comes to weekend cruises, no one does it better than Carnival Cruise Line. 

In fact, Carnival was the first cruise line to really market itself as the best option for weekend cruises. This is unsurprising, as weekend getaway cruising perfectly aligns with Carnival’s brand of having "The Most Fun Ships at Sea."

Today, September 1st 2022, Norwegian Cruise Line announced their newest partnership with the beverage company, Coca-Cola.

This announcement closely follows the debut of Norwegian Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Norwegian Prima. “Norwegian Prima will be the first vessel in NCL’s 18-ship fleet to carry Coca-Cola as its official soft drink, with the remaining ships to follow in the coming months. We are so excited to be partnered with this classic brand and be able to provide our guests with the comfort of the familiar Coca-Cola taste onboard”, states NCL about the partnership.

The new class of cruise ships in Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) fleet is the Prima Class.

The long awaited release of the Norwegian Prima brings with it all-new amenities, activities, and experiences for guests to explore and enjoy.

“To the trailblazers and the tastemakers. To the first-time seekers and explorers of the extraordinary. This one was made for you. Welcome aboard Norwegian Prima, the first in a new class of ships designed to elevate every expectation,” states Norwegian Cruise Line about their newest vessel and ship class.

Is it better to go on a Disney Cruise or visit Disney World?

While Disney parks are typically the first place Disney fans want to visit, the Disney Cruise Line, with its five ships, is a viable option for experiencing some additional Disney magic. These ships offer itineraries in the US, Canada, the Caribbean, and Europe, so you really can explore the world while enjoying world-class Disney service and enchantment.

Cruise travel bookings are seeing a major spike in demand, as cruisers are anxious to return to their favorite vacation activity.

One of the best parts of cruising is all of the amazing food that's available. Between complimentary food and specialty options, I love indulging and trying everything that a cruise ship has to offer.

On a recent cruise aboard Carnival Ecstasy, I was surprised to see most of Carnival’s signature venues available. Even though Ecstasy is the oldest ship in the Carnival fleet and heading to the scrapyard in a few weeks, the ship was outfitted with plenty of complimentary options for dining.
