kruzerci Posted April 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Freedom/Liberty and Oasis are tied for my favorite. I think they are the perfect ships for a Caribbean cruise and like them each for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grab007 Posted April 24, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2014 You always have to go with your first love...The Song of America! We sailed on her twice in the 80s and have loved cruising ever since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted April 24, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2014 You always have to go with your first love...The Song of America! We sailed on her twice in the 80s and have loved cruising ever since! As much as I got hooked on cruising on my honeymoon cruise on the Song of America, my favorite ship (to date) is the Freedom of the Seas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted April 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 24, 2014 We have only sailed on three different RC ships so far. My favorite is the Radiance of the Seas. Beautiful ship, beautiful views through lots of glass, great CL with floor to ceiling glass windows, great crew, and nice size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserking Posted April 24, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Explorer of the Seas. It's the only RCCL one I've traveled on, but, I do love this ship. Jonathan Edited April 24, 2014 by cruiserking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEIx15x8 Posted April 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Independence of the Seas, the best crew in the fleet. Everyone was so friendly and open with the passengers. It was like the entire ship was one large family. Joff Eaton is also the best CD in the fleet and that is his ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Posted April 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2014 My favorites because of all the activities they offer. They have something for every age group. The cabins are a comfort to me now as I have sailed with them so many times. I rely on them to give me a wonderful vacation and I have not been disappointed, They offer good food - a wide variety of it. almost anything you could want is going to be there. There are areas that I can be in and be the center of attention and then there are other places I can go and no one knows me. I love a big ship where you meet lots of people. They have good shore excursionns. They have gone out of their way to make sure their theater/floor shows/aqua shows/offer a good product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swim13 Posted April 24, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have loved every RCI ship but I just have to go with the Allure. When you're on it, you just can't believe its real life. I am a sucker for the biggest and best cruise ships and this is just incredible. I loved everything about the ship and it was the first time I said I would go on it again and again even though I usually like the try a different ship each trip.

leaveitallbehind Posted April 24, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) We have been very fortunate to have sailed on at least one ship from each currently active ship class with RCI and can honestly say we have liked each one for different reasons. But to single out a favorite, I would probably have to say that Freedom Class (Independence) would lead the pack - but with others close by. Just a nice balance of size, amenities, venues, itinerary and comfort. Edited April 24, 2014 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolesrule Posted April 24, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Brilliance of the Seas is my favorite for now, having replaced Explorer of the Seas at the top of my 4-ship list. I think it helps that she winters here in Tampa. :) Haven't been on a Freedom Class yet, but we have Freedom booked for August, so we'll see if my opinion changes.

Tosara21 Posted April 24, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Navigator of the seas, because we had our very first "WOW" moment on boarding. Looking forward to another "WOW" on Independence in september. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molsonschooner Posted April 24, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have liked all the ships I have been on so far, but the Freedom just seemed a bit more special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzingtchr Posted April 24, 2014 #16 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Quite possibly the Explorer as it was my first cruise back from an 18-year dry spell. It was also DH's first cruise ever, and it got him hooked! Our 2004 Mariner cruise was pretty special, too. DD's first cruise at the age of 4, and the staff absolutely doted on her. Plus the Stingrays were the house band, and they were awesome! The Allure is an amazing ship from an engineering point of view... beautiful places throughout, but I still like the Voyager-class better. First cruise ever on the Freedom-class is this summer, so maybe I'll change my mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare skyking Posted April 24, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Out of all my cruises listed below the Oasis took the cake. So much to do, a true thing of beauty. Looking forward to Divina in Oct, have some amazing pictures online of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erries Posted April 24, 2014 #18 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I love Liberty and have a soft spot for Mariner, my first, but ultimately it's got to be Oasis/Allure. Go big or go home. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted April 24, 2014 #19 Share Posted April 24, 2014 We have only cruised on Radiance and Voyager class. I have a favorite for each class, Serenade and Explorer. Both wonderful ships, great crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted April 24, 2014 #20 Share Posted April 24, 2014 as for WOW factor there was no ship like Soverign of the Seas when it started sailing in late 1980's ( I had been on several cruise ships before sailing her ), now its hard to tell one ship from another most of the time.

kfleck76 Posted April 24, 2014 #21 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Can't pick one.... Allure, Freedom and Radiance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thecruises Posted April 24, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Freedom of the seas. You get the all in one package. Kids stuff, adult stuff, good entertainment, ocean views, easy embark port, and freedom class can still visit different ports including tendering.

lovelife Posted April 24, 2014 #23 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Allure. The Supreme Lady is unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icruzthere4Iam Posted April 24, 2014 #24 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Freedom of the Seas. Perfect size, great crew, leaves from Port Canaveral which is a super easy port to use, just a really great ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted April 24, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Another vote for Freedom of the Seas. Awesome ship with WOW factor, excellent crew and its only about an 8 hour drive south for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
