PortMiami is the Cruise Capital of the World and three cruise lines are sending more five mega cruise ships to sail out of the port later this year. The cruise lines are Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line.
Three of the five cruise ships are brand new, making their debut in 2018 including the largest cruise ship ever built, Symphony of the Seas. What new cruise ships will begin sailing out of PortMiami? Here is a look at five new options you’ll have when choosing a cruise out of Miami.
Mariner of the Seas – Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas will begin sailing out of Miami on June 25. Before the ship arrives in Miami, the vessel is getting a radical $120 million makeover that will see a ton of new features added to the cruise ship.
The new features will include new waterslides, restaurants, and Royal Caribbean’s new Sky Pad. Mariner of the Seas will be the ultimate cruise ship for three and four night cruises to the Bahamas. View Prices on Cruises on Mariner of the Seas
Carnival Horizon – Arriving in Miami on September 20, Carnival Cruise Line’s newest and largest cruise ship will begin sailing 6-8 night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. This family cruise ship has the first ever Dr. Seuss themed waterpark that is fun for all ages.
The cruise ship has all of the signature features found on sister ship Carnival Vista that include the SkyRide, Havana staterooms, atrium with Dreamscape, and an IMAX Theater. Carnival also added new restaurants onboard to go along with their signature steakhouse, Guy’s Burger Joint, and the BlueIguana Cantina. View Prices on Cruises on Carnival Horizon
