They are put together very well and it is so interesting to see the inner workings of a cruise plus the different ships they feature. I wish I knew how long it will be before season 3 is shown in the US. one thing I found very interesting was on the episode of the HOL ship doing the Norwegian fjords.This cruise lines has a reputation for being an old folks line. It seemed like there were quite a few younger people on board,well , younger than I am. A lot of people were able to do some of the excursions which were quite demanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These shows are a wonderful way to see cruise itineraries as well as see the ships. The other things that I find fascinating are the behind the scenes stories, things like what a cruise director does and the problems they face as well as getting passengers to their excursions and mechanics of guiding a ship through the fjords.

bigeck Posted April 28, 2019 #29 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I wonder if Royal will compete for the biggest once the new Aida ship comes out. Over 8000 passengers is big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 8000 passengers is big That 8K is likely including crew and max capacity- I don’t think there’s any ship planned with over 6K passengers at double occupancy.

Very close to Symphony but she is only 184,000 gt vs Symphony at 228,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in the Daily Star newspaper in Uk. They have now changed it to 'Carnivals biggest ship'. Lng powered was highlighted. Not sure where it would fit in Europe if it was going to be bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 29, 2019 #34 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) It was pretty good. It was interesting that they didn’t stop at LaSpezia. I wonder if it was a 6 day VS a 7 day sailing. I was half expecting/waiting for @CruiseLifeRick to appear in the background. Edited April 29, 2019 by A&L_Ont 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimlet Posted April 29, 2019 #41 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I watched it, loved the looks of the ship but think i will stay with the Independence. Wonder how those cruisers got to the other port to meet up with the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDemonBlond Posted May 3, 2019 #42 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Recorded from this last weekend and watched last night. I've been disappointed at some mighty cruise ship shows as they don't spend as much time as I would like talking about the ship. More time is spent on the ports the ship visits. Interesting in its own right, but not what I am wanting from this show. However, I really liked this episode as they spent a lot more time on the ship and showcasing various behind the scene activities and life on board for passengers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really would love to see this episode, but I don’t know where can I watch it (the official website of discovery channel Canada doesn’t open it to other countries). Is there a chance you can share it or upload somewhere? That would be really appreciated!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbethel11 Posted July 17, 2019 #45 Share Posted July 17, 2019 This brings back SOOOOO much nostalgia! When I was little, I watched the documentary on Oasis of the Seas and I was in awe of how big the ship was! Now with Symphony, I feel I am reliving that same moment again!

Mass2Cruise Posted July 17, 2019 #46 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Any information on when this will air in the US? I normally record Mighty Cruise Ships, but have to manually catch them on the guide since the original air dates are not current (original dates in Canada) and my dvr is set to record first run episodes so it ends up ignoring it when its first run in the US.

Mighty Cruise Ships normally airs on the Smithsonian Channel here in NY. Usually midday on some weekdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a different one that has Canadian gateways. That's how I watched this Symphony episode when it first aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrobo Posted July 17, 2019 #49 Share Posted July 17, 2019 For the UK viewers, the programme is shown on Quest. Symphony is still to be shown but is on within the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithsonian just started airing the Mighty Trains season that originally aired last November in Canada. They might move on to Mighty Cruise Ships next, or it could be another 5 months if there's a simlar delay in airing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
