BunnyHutt Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Very cool! We saw the Vista while in Costa Maya and Cozumel a couple of weeks ago - it’s a massive vessel, making that floating dry dock that much more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Carnival's largest ships yet smaller than Voyager class :) Carlos A., cameron7763 and BunnyHutt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cruise_ships She is tied for number 40. Voyager class ships are 30 through 38 with a few other ships in that mix. Carnival's Mega ship is the size of Royal's mid size ships. Vista is roughy 58% the size of Oasis class. Just over half.

MSC is building a ton of new ships. Hong Kong based Dream Cruises has Breakaway class ships like NCL... very interesting. With 2 more Oasis class ships coming in 2021 & 2023, looks like RC will have the 6 largest ships for a while. Looks like there are 6 200K+ ton ships on the horizon from MSC and Dream Cruises that will just beat out the upcoming Icon class ships.

Look up the Bellissima when you get a chance. JohnK6404 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC is poised to become a serious player in the cruise industry. They have extensive knowledge with shipping. Once they figure out how to adapt to North America it will be interesting. Some new ships are projected to carry more guests but in ships technically smaller than Oasis class. No doubt they’ll claim to be largest based on passenger capacity. Interesting times. Competition can be a good thing. JohnK6404 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
