Any Oasis class ship

 - adult comedy club

 - more specialty dining

 - more free dining options

second favorite ship oasis

great big ship

first oasis class done (but did all since then too)

[Oceansaway17]

Hmmm while so do not have a so called favorite, I often think fondly of the ship that started the naming …..of the seas and that is good old Sovereign. She was something when she debuted.

otherwise my first trip on Allure in 2011 and then the great 2019 first Alaska cruise on Ovation. And Anthem in Spring of 2016 with dynamic dining and free over the sides northstar.

Anthem of the Seas is my favorite.  Their shows “We Will Rock You” and “Spectras Cabaret” are my absolute favorites.  I also love the layout of the ship.

[KATHYMAC68]

Anthem of the Seas

WE WILL ROCK YOU show. Best show I’ve ever seen on a ship.

[Norwich Cruiser]

Majesty of the Seas

 

The first ship I ever sailed on.

 and never looked back.

[DustFSU]

Whatever ship I go on next, which is Allure, but I have sailed on her before.  5 Reasons why

1. I'm on vacation

2. I'm not at work

3. A drink in my hand

4. Plenty of food to pick from

5. Another drink in my hand

[island lady]

Any ship I am currently on.  

 

Oh wait...I am not on a ship right now.  😳😭😨

[whyrlygig]

Odyssey because of the unique activities available, ship layout and really good dining options.

Sovereign of the Seas was our very first cruise ever 🥰

[la_croisiere_s'amuse]

I would say tied between Odyssey and Allure ... but that might just be because they're my last cruise and my next cruise! 😄

 

I also have a soft spot for the Mariner.

aw that was nice.  Mine was Home lines out of NY in 1977.

Why even the new Carnival Holiday back in 1985 was something too.

[josprince]

Anthem for "We Will Rock You", Wonderland, art, and not a long drive to Port Liberty from Delaware. 

I like big ships....

Majesty our first, Sovereign the second

[hoosier sailor]

Empress of the Seas, many cruises and loved the access to smaller ports. Second favorite is Radiance of the Seas, the next few cruises I will be on.

[Diver2014]

Radiance of the Seas.  We did an Australia cruise and it was magnificent.  Loved everything about it but the Windjammer on Radiance was a cut above all others because of the layout and the variety.  We didn't eat in the MDR because we liked WJ so much on Radiance.  That gleaming white ship in each port was amazing.

Agreed!!

[barb in ga]

For us it's any Oasis Class ship; entertainment options, dining choices, wide variety of activities,

and the unique appeal of Central Park and the Boardwalk.

Any ship that I do not have to fly for, certainly limiting but not a fan of flying lately.
