LuCruise Posted December 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've been on the Grandeur of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas and we're looking at going on a cruise with our kids on the Allure of the Seas. If you've been on multiple RCL ships, what is your favorite and why? How is it in terms of dining? Activities? Shows? Would love to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted December 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Having sailed Mariner........Freedom x 2, Allure x 2 and next Oasis. It seems we move up the class order. Loved them All. But the more we get on the bigger ships and the more their is to do..............well, we will probably never go down. We love the Crown loft suites on the Allure. The promenade The pools The bars The never endind list of things to do. What I dont like Mainly having to pick an activity when there are so many available at the same time slot. Sometimes theres 3 places I want to be:eek: Go for the gusto Enjoy Sea Ya Edited December 18, 2014 by Lionesss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've been on multiple RCL ships, what is your favorite and why? How is it in terms of dining? Activities? Shows? Would love to hear. Freedom and Oasis are my favorites. I like the size of Freedom better than Oasis and also like that you still feel like you're on a ship while on the Freedom. Oasis can feel like a resort instead of a ship at times and has limited ocean views. However, the dining options, neighborhoods, and sheer size of Oasis and Allure are something every cruiser should experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Voyager class is a good size for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted December 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It was Oasis, until they removed the Concierge Lounge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted December 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Rhapsody ! Small, intimate, beautiful public spaces and great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Bear Posted December 18, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Radiance of the Seas! The bigger ships have become floating shopping malls!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanditoes4 Posted December 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2014 In order I've been on Mariner, then Enchantment, then Grandeur and I'd have to say Enchantment was my favorite! I'm willing to try any except the mega ships, I have zero desire to step foot on them!! Don't get me wrong they are amazing feats at sea but I personally don't want to sail them.

killtheump Posted December 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2014 For us Oasis Class is our favorite. Never had a bad cruise on any size ship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare printingchick Posted December 18, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 18, 2014 RADIANCE CLASS: I've loved both my Jewel and Serenade cruises. I prefer the more intimate experience, the views of the ocean, outdoor dining at the Windjammer, the 70s part in the Centrum, the Quest in the Safari Lounge, the Solarium, the typically port-intensive itineraries.

Yorkvillain Posted December 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Oasis/Allure. And it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellwingri Posted December 18, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Without a doubt...Brilliance is our favorite but it may have something to do with the fact that it was also our favorite cruise (Mediterranean). We have NEVER missed the Quest on any of our RCI cruises. It's the same premise but different crowds act differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted December 18, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Pretty much any ship that I am currently on is my favorite! ;) :) Though during the times that I am not on a cruise looking at the overall picture, I am most fond of the Radiance Class series. Not too big, and not too small. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzkitty Posted December 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I would have to say Oasis. Loved all the Dining Venues, and the Crown Loft Suite-amazing! Entertainment was fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Voyager class , I have done all the ones smaller and none of the one larger yet. The bigger the ship the more entertainment options. Looking forward to Liberty next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappledumpling Posted December 18, 2014 #18 Share Posted December 18, 2014 My favorite class is Radiance class with the jewel being my favorite... Once you get bigger than this I lose the ship feeling and feel like I am at a resort.. My wife and daughter loves the Independence... We have not sailed the largest ships yet going to try allure in a few months... Truthfully any ship other than the grandeur and we are very happy..(sailing issues crew related not ship related but wife will never sail that one again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted December 18, 2014 #22 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've been on the Grandeur of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas and we're looking at going on a cruise with our kids on the Allure of the Seas. If you've been on multiple RCL ships, what is your favorite and why? How is it in terms of dining? Activities? Shows? Would love to hear. Well, I'm actually about to take a cruise specifically to find that out. Prior to my Allure cruise I would have easily said Freedom of the Seas. Now with 7 years gone by and 2 trips on Allure I am going back on Freedom again just to refresh my memory. I'm thinking I like the Windjammer and the Solarium better on Freedom than Allure. I like the 2 flowriders on Allure (less waiting). I also like the beach pool on Allure. You mentioned Voyager, that holds a special place since it was our first cruise. I loved Jewel as well. Now off to read your replies. FYI - Mid 50's empty nest couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted December 18, 2014 #23 Share Posted December 18, 2014 We love the Crown loft suites on the Allure. Loved that cabin. I only saw it on a cabin crawl though. On our 2013 cruise a Diamond couple in a JS got this cabin as an upgrade. I hope we get that luck on Oasis in 2016 when we are Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted December 18, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) The cruise on RCCL we enjoyed most was on Oasis ... so guess that makes it our favorite RCCL ship. Why: We booked it as a Floating Resort (meant in a nice way). We loved the specialty restaurants on Oasis!
