For Fun: What's Your Oldest / Newest / Favorite RC Ship?

[scooby1]

Oldest: Legend of the Seas

Newest: Wonder of the Seas

Favorite: Wonder was great but like amplified Independence/ Voyager class to get more variety of ports. 

[Oceansaway17]

Love Anthem and Ovation and Symphony the best.

But was surprised how much I recently enjoyed Vision and that was because of crew and ship layout

There is no negative RCI ship IMHO

Newest: whichever is the newest among Grandeur, Vision, or Enchantment

Vision is the newest.  Vision class is the only class where the last ship in the class bares the class name; it's normally the first ship that bares the class name.

Can it still be your favorite when it has been turned into beer cans and hub caps?

[OSUZorba]

Oldest: Mariner

Newest: Odyssey (on her 10th sailing IIRC)

Favorite: Liberty

[springfire]

The Nordic Prince way back in 1981, I wasn't a paying guest but a Norwegian deck hand.  The ship had just been stretched the year before.  Michael Bayley also worked on the Nordic Prince at that time but I didn't know him at the time.  My first Royal cruise I paid for was the Majesty of the Seas.  It really is amazing how big the new ships have grown over the years.

[GeorgiaGuys]

Oldest: Majesty

Newest: Oasis

Favorite: Liberty

[Host Jacquelyn]

I love seeing everyone's favorite ships!

[joeyancho]

Oldest: Viking Serenade.   Probably in 1997.  It was a converted ferry boat.  It was a rust bucket then.  Had a great time. 

Newest: Oasis of the Seas..  we were married on her in 2022, in Central Park.  It was terrific,  everything my bride hoped it would be. I always joke that we had 5000 people at our wedding.  

Favorite:  I guess I am obligated to say Oasis.  

Sentimental favorite:  the Rhapsody of the Seas.  First time I took a 7 day cruise.  It really wowed my.  Especially the midnight buffet.  The captain had a dry sense of humor and was hilarious at the noonday announcements.  " the sun will rise tomorrow at 6:07, whether we deserve it or not."

Bon Voyage
