I’ve sailed on the Carnival Mardi Gras and it’s definitely my favorite ship I’ve been on! It definitely had some of the best food, and were lots of bars to choose from including a unique bar called the Fortune Teller that has some very interesting drinks! And there was so much to do on the ship! It has a ropes course that even has a zip line on it and even though the roller coaster isn’t free to ride, you definitely need to try it at least once!
I rode the Bolt 7 times and regret not riding it more. At $15 for two rounds it's a better bargain than bungee jumping, (real) zip lining, slingshots, sky coasters or other for pay thrill rides. Mardi Gras was excellent and I can't wait for Celebration and Jubilee!
@@Graphics_Card The amount is pretty much equal in regards to the price. Cruising by yacht is much more fun a yacht can reach coves beaches lagoons and other places a cruise ship can not access. Yachts may not have the luxury of grand buffets swimming pools and other amenities that a cruise ship offers but the enjoyment of the relaxed atmosphere with no children running around the salad bar and no actual schedule to follow
Probably not much bigger unfortunately, same with container ships. If they get much bigger they’ll be really limited when it comes to docking at ports!
You should! It’s wonderful making a tour of a selection of Greek islands while your hotel of the seas navigates from one port of call to the next. Did it myself last May. But be warned: once you’ve done it, you’ll want to repeat the experience again and again.
Lovely informational video. But,….what they don’t mention is big ship, big passenger capacity….long lines for venues such as the buffet, the theatre. Noisy and crowded pool areas. Smaller cabins, smaller balconies. Longer waits for the elevators/lifts. The list goes on and on.
I was happy to have worked on cruise ships in the late 1970s until the late 1980s. I don't care for these newer cruise ships. Too big. Like an overcrowded Disneyland or Las Vegas.
The probably didn't mention it because they didn't need to, as that's not the case. I've been on Symphony, Allure, Mardi Gras and Meraviglia and not once have crowds ever been a problem. Of course if you going in peak season crowds are going to be a problem on any ship, not just the mega ships. Because of their size everything is spread out. At times sections of the ships seemed deserted.
Beautiful ships and i love cruising, but they couldn't give me a free cruise on one.When I vacation the less people the better. that would drive me crazy lol
You can't even tell there's that many people on the ship because they are spread out over 18 floors and nearly 1200 linear feet. The ships practically feel empty at times.
Looks like hell on water. I could never let myself get trapped on any board.. wall to wall people. No way out. Never ever will I do this to myself!!!!!
Clearly, you’ve never been on a cruise. It doesn’t feel crowded at all nor claustrophobic. Of course, you’ll want a stateroom with an outside balcony to enjoy a view of the seas from the moment you wake up till the moment you go to sleep. And it’s such a glorious experience touring a fine selection of Greek islands while your “Hotel of the Seas” navigates from one port of call to the next. I did exactly that only last May. But be warned: once you start cruising, you’ll want more.
@@kennywalker4091 I agree when in Rome 😀but I have been on a lot of cruises just staying this time different and not trying to appeal to other languages !
I saw a picture the other day where someone photoshopped a cruise ship from the 1970s sitting next to one of today. It looked like an elephant sitting next to a mouse!
The MSC World Europa was not the first LNG powered ship AidaPrima was a german aida line ship wich was made as the First LNG Powered ship as he was constructed of Being the first aida line ship
@@Randomguy56710 Because people pay for not having so many people inside. All suites are bigger, they are all outside. There is most space for everyone (it’s called ratio space for passenger), more crew for each passengers. Food and drinks are second to none, prepared by famous chefs. And they usually go to many out of the beaten track where big ships can’t go. They usually berth close downtown. You don’t have to walk long distances to get everywhere on board Most do have pools, and are not crowded. At the same time you don’t have to fight to find a deck chair.
It seems to me you have to be on one 20 or 30 times to find everything. And maybe even then there would be something you might not get to see. They are interesting to see but I don't want to be on one
Wonder of the seas is big I glad they will Make a giant ship and a lot of luxury classes like economic class first class and nice rooms and food I want to go to the ship
I was first put off by your comically inaccurate thumbnail with the grossly exaggerated cruise ship. Wonder of the Seas, like her predesessors, only has SEVEN neighborhoods, not 18. You CANNOT take a dive off of a 30ft diving board in ANY of her pools. Are you crazy? The Abyss is NOT a waterslide. It is a dry slide with canvas bags. And the list goes on. The list is in no certain order and you could've lumped all five Oasis ships together.
I thought the amount and diversity of entertainment on the Oasis class ships was outstanding. From the aqua show to the ice show along with broadway shows, one can truly have a wide variety of entertainment. And this doesn’t include the activities one can enjoy.
No way. I wouldn't fancy such a large ship. I went on the Ventura and felt even that was too big. I enjoyed it but I'd prefer a smaller, more intimate ship with less restaurants and smaller pools. I get too overwhelmed otherwise. I'm more interested in seeing places where we stop too.

You don't go on a cruise to get away from other people. You go to experience the ship and the ports. If you want to get away from people, get on a yacht or sailboat. Or even a river cruise.
I will never get on one of these, they are too big to be safe. No, I am talking from knowledge from a horse's mouth. I know a retired ship builder who also used to teach wielding and ran a shipyard. He has stated this from a professional viewpoint that they are too big for him to want to go near them.
Mardi gras was actually the most detailed ship ever build in history of 2000 th's and about oasis and harmony of the seas are the mostly famous cruise ship and actually aidaPrima was the
I have been to Oasis of the Sea,Norwegian Star, Epic Cruise, and Queen Mary 11 but the capacity Is only two thousand five hundred make Dizzy and I don’t know the rest and I done Six tours sight seeing all in all I done 10 trips around the world and Jesus guide me and safety to come home again
I mean you lost me in the first 30 seconds….Wonder did not come out in March of 2002…..closer to April of 2022….but hopefully that was just a speech error? 🙄
