I tried five new cruise lines in six months: Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises and Virgin Voyages. After trying all five, these are the three I would sail again—and the type of traveler I think each one fits best. @norwegiancruiseline stood out because of its solo cabins and Studio Lounge. @princesscruises gave me a peaceful, traditional cruise experience with convenient Medallion technology. @VirginVoyages became my favorite because of its adults-only environment and included dining options. Each cruise line also had a few things I didn’t enjoy, including Norwegian’s embarkation-day lines, the dated cabin features aboard Regal Princess and the volume inside some Virgin Voyages venues. Watch my full cruise vlogs here on YouTube to see what these experiences were actually like onboard. Ready to start planning?
