People love shiny new things, and these ships are the latest in a line of mine-is-bigger-and-better-than-yours seafaring playgrounds.
Leading the way is Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas – or is it King of the Seas? Right behind are Norwegian Epic and Carnival Magic, the biggest and newest ships for Norwegian and Carnival cruise lines.
The downside to the popularity of these ships is that the cruise lines can command top dollar for them – no matter what time of the year you sail.
But Allure Quest Travel Experience has a way for you to sail on the most popular cruise ship in the world at a bargain price. Keep reading, and we’ll get to that later.
Each of these ships include amenities that are new to their respective cruise line, and in some cases to the industry.
Gargantuan Allure of the Seas (225,000 tons!) boasts the first 3D theater at sea; Norwegian Epic has the first cruise ship ice bar and cabins built for single passengers; and Carnival Magic offers dual water slides at it’s water park as well as family cabins with two bathrooms that accommodate five passengers.
Here’s the complete list of the Top 10 Most Popular Cruise Ships of 2011, as determined by the Internet cruise authority Cruise Critic:
- Allure of the Seas; 2. Norwegian Epic; 3. Carnival Magic; 4. Oasis of the Seas; 5. Celebrity Solstice; 6. Disney Dream; 7. Ruby Princess; 8. Liberty of the Seas; 9. Carnival Dream; 10. Norwegian Gem.
The oldest ships on the list are Liberty of the Seas and Norwegian Gem – both debuting in 2007.
OK, you’re probably wondering about that bargain mentioned earlier.
Well, Allure Quest Travel Experience has a limited number of balcony cabins on Allure of the Seas for a May 27 sailing available for $1,259 per person. That same cabin anywhere else goes for more than $1,800.
Just think, if you react right away, you could find yourself sunning and sailing onboard the biggest – and now the most popular – cruise ship on the planet, and at a price the guy in the cabin next to yours is likely going to be envious of.
