Oh, Megan, I can tell you. So these ships... The MSC World America from MSC Cruises and Norwegian Aqua from Norwegian Cruise Line have so much to do. They are filled with all sorts of tech innovations, just general design improvements. Now, both of the sailings I did were for the inaugural voyages of both ships.
Oh, it was absolutely perfect. So I will say because it was the inaugural voyage, you cannot just book these on cash. These were invite-only trips reserved for people like crew staff, travel agents, people who work on the ship, and media like me. So just to be transparent, when I talk about my sailings on both of these ships, I did not pay for these as I was invited media.

Secondly, these ships were not nearly at full capacity. So my experience might also be different from future sailings on these ships. Good to know. So what were your highlights? On the MSC World America, I loved how much there was to do. And it makes sense. The ship is huge. It has capacity for nearly 7,000 guests. That is not even including the crew, which is more than 2,000 people.

Ooh, who can forget Royal Caribbean's infamous Icon of the Seas, which has capacity for about 7,600 people. But clearly, MSC World America is not far behind.

I loved the whole top area of this ship. Basically designed for families with kids, and I am a kid at heart, so me too. It has a ropes course, a slide that spirals down 11 floors, multiple water slides. There was one where you could race the other person next to you. That's all for kids. For true adults, there was a botanic garden pool, absolutely serene oasis.

What was really neat is it has this retractable glass roof, so you can still use it even if the weather is bad. Ooh, that's nice. Yeah, another thing I absolutely loved, amazing Queen show, live performers, killer choreography.

This ship was much smaller, but still huge. Family-friendly amenities as well. The most standout attraction is this cool hybrid roller coaster water slide. I rode it three times.

Yeah, so basically you board this raft, and once you're in, there's this magnetic lift that comes behind you. It shoots you off, so you go up the hill at more than 30 miles per hour.
