hellsop Posted July 23, 2013 #26 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I feel exactly this way about the Grandeur. But I love all the ships I have been on. Oddly, I would say the Navigator was my least favorite. Vision class ships do feel about *right* to me as well, even though they're not what I started with, nor are they the most-anything really. And yes I've sailed on bigger. The "more bigger shiny" just doesn't draw me as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvscruising2007 Posted July 23, 2013 #28 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Tie between Explorer and Jewel. Both great ships and offer a great cruising experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixDawgCruising Posted July 23, 2013 #29 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Until 2012, it was Navigator. Then I sailed Oasis, and everything changed. I'm ruined!!:eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjdixon4 Posted July 23, 2013 #30 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Although I've sailed Oasis and had a really great time, bigger wasn't necessarily better to me. I like Enchantment. It's newly refurbed with a nice sized pool deck, Chops Grille, and I REALLY liked the addition of the Panoramic OceanView cabins. I felt that the ship was small enough to feel friendly, yet large enough to have plenty to keep me occupied. Nice replacement for the old Monarch itinerary.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tapi Posted July 24, 2013 #32 Share Posted July 24, 2013 No longer in the fleet but our sentimental favorite is the Empress of the Seas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsvd79 Posted July 24, 2013 #33 Share Posted July 24, 2013 1. Serenade- 1st cruise, and sailed on her again 2. Adventure- Had an awesome crew. 3. Vision- Been on her twice. She is easy to navigate, and also has one of the best crews. 4. Explorer- So nice to sail from a port close to home. 5. Monarch- Easy to navigate, but not much to do on the ship. 6. Voyager- Got the norovirus on this ship. So she is on the bottom. As a matter of fact I barely remember this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma5 Posted July 24, 2013 #37 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Radiance class ..............They are all lovely ships.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetrail Posted July 25, 2013 #38 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Honestly have sailed every class of RCL ship and love them all. Each class has something that every other class doesn't and the crew is a huge part of each ship for me. That being said if you simply have to have all the bells and whistles right now that would be Allure and or Oasis....( Quantum coming for myself in april 2014!) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealeggs Posted July 26, 2013 #39 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Last cruise was Oasis. She is big and beautiful but not sure I would sail her again. Adventure has our hearts. How can you go wrong when you start out sailing from the Caribbean. We love San Juan and when we sail out of that port, we arrive 2 or 3 days early and stay an extra 2 days after. Your are still in the Caribbean. LOL!!!! Continue the vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margy23 Posted July 26, 2013 #40 Share Posted July 26, 2013 We have two favorite RCI ships - Jewel and Freedom. The Jewel starts with extremely pleasing décor, but really stars in staff attitude. On our third of four sailings on Jewel we were delighted to have our favorite servers (who were pushing wheelchairs in the terminal) greet us by names with big hugs. Jewel also has a friendly Diamond Lounge where we visit with and learn from other cruisers, as well as a special Diamond breakfast every day. To us, Radiance class is just the perfect size, although we're disappointed that the Seaview Cafes are being replaced. When we first went on Freedom, we were concerned it would be too big - not so, it's laid out very conveniently, has interactive ship maps near the elevators so you can't get lost, an awesome gym (we could walk on treadmills at the very bow of the ship and share the captain's view), an almost unbelievably good ice show, and a Diamond breakfast with a ship's officer. We have never been disappointed in the conversation the officer brings to the table. In October we'll be on Enchantment, which we haven't cruised on since 2001, in December our fourth trip on Freedom (because one of the ports is San Juan), and in December, 2014, a trip to the ABC's on Explorer. Voyager is the only class we haven't cruised on, so hopefully that will be a new favorite. Whatever ship you choose, enjoy! Cruising is addicting.
