Wonder of the Seas is the latest edition of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class ships (until Utopia of the Seas arrives in 2024), which were the largest class in the world until the new Icon class took the torch. Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas made its first voyage in 2016, which made it the third ship in the Quantum-class. Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry. Since the start, it's been our aim to provide the latest cruise news covering all the major cruise lines. We make sure cruisers are fully prepared for their cruise vacation with tips on ships and ports.Millions of travelers rely on Cruise Hive in the United States, Europe, Australia, and around the world.
Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas
The World Europa features some of the best rooms on a cruise ship, thanks to having the most cabins with a balcony. People looking for something a little less dramatic will enjoy six pools, some surrounded by tropical greenery, 14 whirlpools and MSC’s first-ever department store at sea. Finally, you’ll never go hungry on this ship, given its 10 restaurants, including four main dining rooms and three buffets. Almost identical to her sister ship Seascape, MSC Seashore is tied for #16 on the list of the largest cruise ships. The first in the EVO subclass of MSC’s Seaside class ships, Seashore and her sister are larger than other ships in their class and offer expanded outdoor spaces.
Harmony of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
I've always been a big fan of Izumi, and what Royal Caribbean has done with this specialty restaurant on Icon is astonishing. It's been given the necessary space to house all of Royal Caribbean's best ideas in one. There are lots of hibachi tables, sushi tables, a VIP hibachi table, and even a walk-up window where you can get sushi as late as 10pm. I used to think three slides was a big deal, but six seems to be what I always needed but never knew I did. The giant glass dome encompasses places to chill, eat, and be entertained.
Allure of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
No construction, just finishing touches and deliveries and set up of furnishings. The Overlook is a sleeper hit of the ship because it has fantastic seating, especially in the pods. It's first-come, first-seated, and I think a lot of people will love to hang out here on a sea day, especially with bar service. Like her sister, this ship also features a Sky Dome over the pool area—but Arvia‘s is retractable to allow for alfresco swimming, dining, and entertainment when the weather is right.

However, those ships come in just under the 185,000 gross tons seen with Smeralda and Toscana. From 2015 until today, the average gross tonnage of a new cruise ship from the major cruise lines is 164,000 gross tons — more than twice the size of a ship built during the 1990s. That includes the Symphony of the Seas, which comes in at a staggering 228,081 gross tons.

Watch: Why it costs $1 million a day to run one of the world's biggest cruise ships
Small salads and desserts are also available throughout the opening hours. Outside seating increases capacity significantly when the weather is good. There’s also a handy nightlight by the bathroom door that is controllable from the bedside switches.
P&O UK‘s newest ship Arvia is also the cruise line’s largest, and debuts at #7 on the 2023 list of biggest cruise ships. An Excel-class ship like Iona, Arvia is similar but boasts some key differences. Just making this year’s list of the world’s 20 largest cruise ships, MSC Seascape is tied for #16. The second Seaside EVO class ship launched by MSC Cruises in just over a year, Seascape features a glam New York City vibe. If you think cruise ships have gotten bigger, it’s not just your imagination.
Mardi Gras, Carnival Cruise Line
Costa Smeralda is the first ship in Costa Cruises' Excellence-class fleet. This premier ship has 20 decks along with 2,614 staterooms and suites onboard. Costa Smeralda was named after a popular tourist destination in Sardinia. As you can see from the chart, when it comes to size, all the cruise lines continue to move toward larger ships. Every single cruise line has dramatically increased in size over the past several decades. Gone are the days where a cruise ship was designed simply to be the vessel to get you from port to port.
Cruise missiles are among a growing collection of North Korean weapons designed to overwhelm regional missile defenses. They supplement the North’s vast lineup of ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles aimed at the continental United States. The United States, South Korea and Japan have responded by expanding their combined military training and sharpening their deterrence strategies built around strategic U.S. assets. When I realized how late we were going to be, I forked over $8 per minute to be connected with the ship. It was a sprint through the port to get back on and we received quite a scolding from the first officer. I know $12 may not seem like much for a steak or lobster tail at dinner, but the cost of the cruise is supposed to include your food.
The "grand" new flagship of the line is the biggest MSC Cruises ship ever at 181,543 tons -- and the seventh-largest cruise vessel ever from any line. Another major brand, Carnival Cruise Line, was just months away from rolling out its own record-sized vessel. I like variety in my cruise ships, because one day I might prefer one pool and another day a different one. No doubt, this will become one of every passenger’s favorite cruises. With her three pool decks containing an impressive collection of pools and hot tubs, you’ll never feel crowded taking a dip. Aboard Harmony of the Seas, guests have the opportunity to take the PADI® Open Water Diver Course, culminating with open water dives at various ports of call.
Kids age 2 to 11 will have the opportunity to try NASA-inspired activities tailored to their age group. AIDAcosma‘s unique features include the Ocean Deck, a four-story relaxation oasis with an infinity pool and panoramic ocean views. The Grand Central Atrium reinvented the central area of the ship, with a larger space featuring bars, cafés, and shops with aerial performances overhead. To calculate GT, first a ship’s volume is calculated by measuring from keel to funnel to the outside of the hull framing. That number (in cubic meters) is then run through several mathematical formulas to determine GT.
