Imagine booking your dream cruise on one of the world's biggest lines—only to realise within hours of boarding it's not for you. In this video, I break down the FOUR most popular cruise lines based on passengers carried—Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, MSC Cruises, and Carnival—so you can choose wisely and avoid an expensive mistake.

I compare:

What these "resort style" mega-ships all have in common

What each does BEST and where each FALLS SHORT

Fleet sizes, global itineraries and private islands

Key fare differences and hidden costs

Cabins: from budget inside rooms to luxury suites (including ship-within-ship concepts)

Dining styles and quality

Entertainment and onboard activities

Who each line is REALLY best for—and who should steer clear

Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned traveller, this guide will help you match the right line to your travel style and budget.
