Travelers love cruise-run private islands. These destinations are becoming more important as popular ports increasingly restrict large ships.

Carnival says its upcoming private island-like destination is set to have amenities including waterslides, an adult-only club, and beachfront cabanas.

The new world's largest cruise ship has unprecedented features like a six-slide waterpark and over 40 onboard restaurants and bars.

Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian are set to see lots more people on cruise ships next year. Be prepared for long lines and sold-out ships.
