Ships We've Sailed
Every vessel I’ve personally sailed
The Fleet I Know
A true icon of ocean travel — seven distinct neighborhoods, the heart-stopping Ultimate Abyss drop slide, Broadway-caliber shows, and dining that covers every craving. Harmony lives up to every syllable of her name and remains one of my all-time favourite ships at sea.
The Oasis-class taken to its absolute peak — Central Park at sea, the iconic AquaTheater, and a suite neighbourhood that rivals the finest land-based resorts. Pure wonder from bow to stern.
Carnival's crown jewel — six distinct zones, Guy Fieri's burger joints, Shaquille O'Neal's Big Chicken, electric entertainment every night, and that unmistakable Carnival energy at full volume. The perfect first cruise ship for families or a group looking for non-stop fun.
A Vista-class stunner with an incredible outdoor SkyRide cycling attraction, a sprawling WaterWorks aqua park, and one of the best pool deck layouts in the fleet. Great value for families.
A classic Conquest-class ship that still delivers the Carnival magic in spades — multiple pools, great entertainment, classic steakhouse dining, and an atmosphere that never takes itself too seriously.
A Dream-class gem featuring the beloved WaterWorks slides, Serenity adults-only retreat, and a superb variety of dining options. Magic delivers exactly what the name promises — a little bit of wonder every day.
Originally built for Costa Cruises, Venezia brings a distinctly Italian elegance to the Carnival fleet — beautiful Venetian-inspired décor, excellent dining, and a refreshingly different atmosphere compared to Carnival's other ships.
A beloved classic completely transformed — Sunshine underwent one of Carnival's most extensive renovations, adding Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, the Havana bar and pool area, and Dr. Seuss Bookville for kids. Warm, fun, and full of personality.
MSC's flagship achievement — purpose-built for North American cruisers and launched in 2025. Six spectacular neighborhoods including the iconic World Promenade, the most advanced Aqua Park at sea, the exclusive Yacht Club ship-within-a-ship, and a dining program that showcases the full spectrum of Mediterranean cuisine. The benchmark for modern cruising.
Glass-floored oceanwalk terraces, the exclusive Yacht Club, and authentic Mediterranean cuisine — Seashore's cosmopolitan character feels genuinely unlike any American cruise line. A personal favourite.
Seashore's sister ship and equally spectacular — the longest zip-line at sea, a stunning pool terrace carved into the stern, and that world-class Yacht Club experience. A must-try for any serious cruiser.
The original beach resort at sea — Seaside's design wraps the ocean around you with panoramic walkways and a swim platform steps above the water. Groundbreaking when she launched and still stunning today.
The first of MSC's Meraviglia-Plus class — grander, longer, and more spectacular than Meraviglia. The indoor LED promenade, Cirque du Soleil at Sea shows, and an adults-only Top 19 deck make this a ship of pure spectacle.
Where MSC truly found its voice — the dazzling 461-ft LED sky dome, Cirque du Soleil entertainment, and an indoor promenade lined with restaurants and boutiques. "Meraviglia" means marvel in Italian, and she earns that name entirely.
