Are you sailing on an upcoming Princess Cruise and looking for the best tips and tricks to ensure you have a fantastic cruise? You’ve come to the right place!

Princess Cruises is one of the premiere cruise lines in the industry, similar to Celebrity Cruises and Holland America. You can expect a more upscale, refined experience when you sail onboard a Princess cruise ship. 

One of the biggest cruise lines in the industry is Norwegian Cruise Line. With sailings around the world, you are sure to have an amazing experience onboard Norwegian’s cruise ships while visiting gorgeous and often exotic destinations. 

As with most cruise lines, MSC Cruises has a wide selection of cabin options across its fleet. Whether it be a cozy interior cabin or the ultimate deluxe suite, there is something for every traveler.  

Ships offer a variety of accommodations to meet diverse needs, including solo travelers, those guests requiring accessible rooms, and solutions for larger families or groups who want to share common spaces.

When I was just 4 years old, I boarded my very first cruise ship. My family and I sailed onboard The Big Red Boat, which was essentially a knock-off Disney cruise to the Bahamas.

To this day, our cruise on The Big Red Boat is one of my first memories as a child. I can remember being terrified of Tweety Bird and the characters around the ship. I remember a rough sea day where the pools had big netting on top and we couldn't go swimming.

MSC Cruises made a big splash into mega-ship cruising with the successful Meravilgia class of ships. Veering in a different direction, the Seaside class of ships embarked upon a new strategy that is not reliant on the bigger is better philosophy.

MSC Yacht Club is a special tier of rooms and services within MSC cruise ships. Think of it like "a ship within a ship." MSC Yacht Club is the ultimate in luxury for MSC cruisers.

This all-inclusive style of cruising includes ungraded suites, personalized service, and dedicated venues onboard, such as a private lounge, restaurant, and sundeck area. 

Carnival Cruise Line prides itself on having the most fun ships at sea, so it is safe to say that your vacation is sure to be filled with tons of activities, entertainment, and delicious eats. With a fun and highly energetic atmosphere, the fun never stops onboard one of Carnival's 24 ships. 

MSC Cruises continues to pursue an intensive growth strategy, welcoming several new ships over the next couple of years. 

From mega-ships with 6,000+ guests to those with under 500 cabins, MSC Cruises is catering to the newest and most innovative ships keeping all guests in mind. 

Here is what is exciting and new with MSC's upcoming additions to the fleet.
