DBKK Posted September 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2009 We were on RCCL in Aug 1994 and left from Los Angeles port and went to Enscenada and Catalina Island. But cannot remember the name of our ship. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin_Ca Posted September 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My guess would be the Viking Serenade. She was a very nice ship with a good crew. Her name was just a little silly. I will always remember her as the MV Stardancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always remember her as the MV Stardancer. I was on the inaugural when she was the Stardancer out of NY to the Bahamas, very long time ago.

DBKK Posted September 28, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted September 28, 2009 You are right, it was the Viking Serenade. Thank you for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC@SD Posted September 28, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Here is a photo of the Viking Serenade. She used to call on San Diego as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsulin Posted September 28, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yep, definitely the Viking Serenade! I did the 4-day from LA in August 1995. If I dare say so (fear of flaming), this was my least favorite cruise out of about 20 at the time. It was also my first RCCL cruise. However, my 2006 Jewel cruise more than made up for the VS!!

Alexis Posted September 28, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2009 We had done 14 cruises on other lines. I won a free cruise on the Viking Serenade in a Newspaper contest in 1998. So, living in Las Vegas, we went and we loved it. The Royal Caribbean crew was so great that it became the Cruise line of our choice. We are still with RCCL 13 cruises later.

jmf123 Posted September 28, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Here is a photo of the Viking Serenade. She used to call on San Diego as well. I have fond memories (of this former car ferry!). I was invited to a Travel Agent appreciation cruise and took my little sister. It was her very first cruise and our first 'real' vacation together and we had a wonderful time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooljamming Posted September 28, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yep, definitely the Viking Serenade! I did the 4-day from LA in August 1995.

Oh my, my very first cruise was on Viking Serenade in May 1995. I fell in love with cruising and since them always wish to recapture a part of that. I cried at the end of the cruise. One on the bartenders was an old classmate of mine from Jamaica. I hadn't seen him in 20 years. I remember feeling so lucky, because everyone I met had waited so long before enjoying their first cruise. Sapphire Princess came close to reminding me of that experience. A beautiful ship, with wonderful people, taking me to amazing places, no huge add-ons. I wore a church dress on formal night and can't rememeber feeling more special. I am falling in-love all over again;) It was before I had kids and Sapphire Princess was our only vacation without the kids. That might have something to do with it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
