I love trying out different ships on different cruise lines. Variety is the spice of life, and every ship has something special to offer. As cruise lines ease back into operation, one nice thing we’ve been able to do is take some short sailings on ships that may usually only offer longer cruises. This was the case with our recent MSC Meraviglia sailing, as well as the test cruise we took on Mariner of the Seas. It’s a great opportunity to try out a new ship to see if it suits you, or maybe just an excuse for a quick getaway. For sailings from Florida, it's also a great chance to check out the Royal Caribbean's private island Perfect Day at Coco Cay.
Royal Caribbean may be of particular interest right now, as not only to they have several ships offering short cruises, and these ships have recently undergone “Amplification”, which is Royal’s fleet revitalization project.
On our recent cruise on Mariner of the Seas we were really awe-struck with some of the enhancements we got to see, including the Bamboo Room tiki-style bar, an all-new Jamie’s Italian restaurant, fun new style furnishings on the pool deck, and more. Below are some of the upcoming short sailings that these newly-plussed ships are offering in case you’d like to check it out for yourself.
