So MSC proved it can build truly a World Class Vessel, but the question is; rather they can run it, in a manner befitting, 2017's Best New Ocean Going Vessel in the World?

Well done MSC, on your highest award winning ship! I can't wait for your "World Class" category of future new builds.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for sharing.

What were the other 2017 nominees?

I believe there were only 2 other ships. NCL's Joy and Princess Majestic Princess. If that is true, then, I am not quite as excited. Right??

I heard about this yesterday! I' so looking forward on our cruise Dec 2018. So far away I've thought about pushing it sooner.

Stournillon ... You did not miss much on Majestic Princess, the balcony cabin we had was a decent size and the open wardrobe so much better than those on Seaside.

The ship itself had many things missing and so much wasted space compared to the other two ships as it was designed for the China market, not sure the Australian market will embrace it either with so many bars missing.

I thought MSC had another ship this year, which is based in the med: also, is it not the same ship going to NYC next year?

Yes, MSC Meraviglia was launched in June 2017.
