We Sailed All 9 Major Cruise Lines In America | Here's How They Ranked

Editorial Summary

The creators evaluate and rank nine major American cruise lines based on their personal experiences over a seven month period. They assess each brand across several specific categories, including food quality, ship innovation, entertainment, cost, and overall vibe. Virgin Voyages is highlighted as the top performer for food, noting that specialty dining and soft drinks are included in the base price. Royal Caribbean is recognized for having the most impressive ships, while Disney leads the category for entertainment. In terms of cost, MSC is identified as the most budget friendly option, whereas Disney and Virgin are noted as higher priced. After tallying points across all categories, the creators conclude that Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is the overall winner, followed closely by Virgin Voyages and Royal Caribbean. They note that while NCL won on points, Virgin Voyages offers a superior food experience. The ranking places Disney in fourth, Carnival in fifth, Princess and Celebrity in sixth and seventh, MSC in eighth, and Holland America in last place due to a perceived lack of value for their specific demographic.
