What's the largest cruise ship you've ever sailed?

Just curious: What's the largest cruise ship you've ever sailed? AND, what's the newest you've ever sailed? Not new as in currently right now — new as in the time it took between when it came out until you got onboard.

My largest is Symphony of the Seas, and no one can beat me because that's currently the largest cruise ship in the world Wink And my newest would be both Symphony and Norwegian Encore, since I was on inaugural cruises for both of those.

Norwegian Bliss...hated it (not the size of the ship, the line itself).

NCL Escape. Way too big for our taste.

The Horizon for me but we are already booked on the Mardi Gras summer 2021Happy

Symphony (March 2019) as my largest. Hoping the no sail policy will be lifted for my December 2020 cruise on the Odyssey as my newest.

All of our cruises have been on Carnival Fantasy class, so for years smallest & largest were the same for us. The Elation however became the largest after adding an extra deck & cabins during her 2017 dry dock.

Was on the Horizon one year ago today. Sigh.....

Symphony of the Seas

Largest = Symphony of the Seas – gotta love a world record holder!

Newest is tougher. We’ve been on a few US inaugural sailings and seen a couple of champagne bottles smashed on ship’s bows, but a lot of them spend time in Europe before coming over. Probably Norwegian’s Pride of America in June 2005.

Norwegian Bliss February 23rd, 2020 for me!

We went with Oasis(again) for Next year. I couldn't stomach to pay almost $300 more per person to go on Symphony for the same timeframe next year. Although we may be able to swing another short cruise this December with the leftover FCC!
