Creator's Key Takeaways
I wanted to share my top 10 list with you. So that way, if you're planning a cruise now or maybe even into 2026, you have an idea of my favorite ships and why I'm picking these 10.
I do love the changes made with Wonder of the Seas after the other Oasis class ships, especially with the sweet neighborhood. My goodness, that alone really made a huge difference having a true sund deck that I can actually enjoy.
I think Mariner of the Seas is the top pick. Moving up to number five, and this is kind of the same rationale I have for Mariner, but it's Freedom of the Seas.
Icon of the Seas had so much hype, so much interest when she launched in 2024, and she lived up to every single bit of it.
