Creator's Key Takeaways

The cruise industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades with everything from who is cruising to where they're going completely changing.

Passenger numbers are absolutely exploding. Now, according to the AAA, the record-breaking 19 million Americans are expected to cruise this year.

The mega ship revolution is continuing full speed in 2025. Again, not everybody's happy about this, but we just sailed back to back on the inaugural sailing of MSC World America.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book cruises sooner rather than later due to increased demand and fewer last-minute deals.
βœ“Consider shorter itineraries (3-5 days) especially in the Caribbean, as they are becoming more popular.

Overwhelm from mega-ships with many amenities β€” First-time cruisers are often drawn to these massive ships, but seasoned cruisers prefer smaller vessels for intimacy; choose based on your preference.
