lenquixote66 Posted March 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2023 What is your favorite ship and why is it your favorite ? Ours is the RCI Grandeur.We were on the ship 4 years in a row,2015 to 2018.We booked the same cabin all 4 years.The crew was outstanding . The cabin ,a OV was wonderful especially the hard as concrete mattress .We had different Stewards on every cruise but they were all excellent.The CD’s were the best ever,especially Paul Rudder.Many of the same passengers came each of the 4 years and we made quite a few friends.

Rare Hlitner Posted March 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Our long time favorite was HAL's Prinsendam (now long gone). Hard to explain why except it was an 800 passenger ship built as a luxury vessel for Royal Viking Lines and later modified by HAL. We spent exactly 200 days on that vessel and enjoyed every day.

ldubs Posted March 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I like the Princess Grand Class ships. I find the layout comfortable with lots of places to chill that have windows to the outside. I also like the Celebrity Millennium class ships. I just find them comfortable too. My least favorite are the ones that have the interior boulevard (however you say that). Just too closed in for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first day of my 2015 cruise I wanted to go to the Fitness Center .I realized that the elevator did not go there.I am disabled and cannot walk up and down steps.The Hotel Manager offered to let me use the Crew’s Gym .I thought that was so very nice of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDincalif Posted March 8, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Viking Ocean ships: serene design; spacious public areas that still manage to provide uncrowded intimate spaces; the indoor spa (open to all at no additional charge) with pool, snow room, sauna and more, with plenty of lounge chairs and a "fireplace"; outdoor pool deck with retractable roof; infinity pool at the aft; and oh so much more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted March 8, 2023 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Circling back around to this topic. I have yet to be on a cruise ship that I would avoid. Even my least favorite designs are enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsai3s Posted March 9, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Renaissance Cruises R3 and R4...outstanding service...and the food, sublime. * Regrettably, RC went out of business...but I believe their ships are now sailing with Azamara. * Len...we've never crossed paths, but hoping you are doing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted March 9, 2023 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Sadly, my favourite ship is long gone - SS Oriana Of current ships, any of the Viking Ocean tonnage, as they are virtually identical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted March 9, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I am hoping that after this summer, I can say the NCL Prima. My TA told me someone very experienced from his firm was on it and said it was the most beautiful ship he had ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 9, 2023 #19 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) We'll be on the Prima sailing to Iceland and Norway in 6 months or so. But to answer the OP's question, our favorite ship is whichever one we happen to be sailing on. Edited March 9, 2023 by evandbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sparks1093 Posted March 9, 2023 #21 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Royal Anthem of the Seas. Nice lay out and even with the large number of passengers there were few times when it felt crowded. Loved the extra entertainment venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted March 11, 2023 #24 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I can't really say I have a favorite ship -- have been on many through the years but the cruises I remember most fondly are due to the itinerary and the people, not so much the ship itself... At the moment I am pretty fond of Celebrity's M-class ships. I don't like large ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
