Looking for a recommendation on a NCL ship

We just completed our 30th cruise, we are Diamond on RCCL and have sailed Carnival, Celebrity, MSC, Princess, Premier, HAL in the past. We would like to try an NCL ship to compare. We prefer the newer larger mega ships with all the bells and whistles. We Love ships like the Harmony and Allure of the Seas. I book cruises for the ships and the ports are not as important. Can you tell me a good NCL ship to try?

While you will get answers here I would recommend posting this on the NCL Board.

I have been on the Breakaway...the Getaway is the sister ship. These are NCL'S Mega Ships. Wonderful venues, restaurants, bars, and even has an "outside" boardwalk so that you can eat outside right on the sea. I think you would enjoy these two ships. :cool:

The new Bliss will be sailing next year.

Ahhhhh..YES! Forgot about that and is actually perfect for the OP, as she is from CA and the Bliss has a few sailings from LA! :cool:

I also love the RCI mega ships. As mentioned, I too recommend anything Breakaway and newer, especially Escape or Bliss. My older NCL cruises were so bad, I'll never sail anything older than Breakaway again. Escape, on the other hand, I loved.

Wow thank you all so very much!! And thank you Keith for the link you shared!

Loved both Escape and Epic.

My favorite NCL ship is the jewel. But it's older and smaller. All the new ships with NCL are great although the bathrooms on the epic are a bit odd which is why they stopped that class after one ship.

The Breakaway is great we love the Irish pub and the outside bars . Do it with a few days in New York before cruise, the downtown dock can be walked to from many spots.

Just off of the Escape...without a doubt my favorite cruise to date after 16 cruises (9 Carnival, 4 NCL, 2 Disney, 1 Princess). Excellent food, service, cleanliness, and many activities/venues to choose from.

Be sure to also post this on the NCL Board where you will get a lot more input.
