2 Wanna make a statement?
HVTOO:

Nearly 800,000 travelers just voted to name the absolute best cruise lines of 2026

Princess entered the megaship category with Sun Princess and Star Princess, which launched in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Each can carry up to 4,300 passengers, making them the largest ships in the Princess fleet, according to the publication.

Royal Caribbean International came in second with a score of 86.45.

The cruise line operates the nine largest cruise ships in the world, according to Condé Nast Traveler.

Its biggest vessels can carry up to 7,600 passengers at full capacity and stretch nearly 1,200 feet, with onboard attractions ranging from water parks to live productions, the publication said.

3 Getting on a boat with 7000 other people? That's absolutely out of the question. Twenty or thirty maybe.

7 "...with onboard attractions ranging from water parks to live productions..."

Besoeker, on a small cruse ship (boat?) that only carry 20 or 30 other people the water attraction would mainly constitute of jumping overboard, the live performance would be the captain singing off key while playing a guitar badly!

9 For some reason, the Rant wont let me past the whole thing in one post! Weird!

Lots of Liquors will be available and gambling would be mostly p*kers such as five cards and Texas hold 'em. Slot machines may be available.

Group activity is mainly Congo lines and the above mentioned water park skinny dipping overboard.

Fun galore!
