LuCruise Posted May 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Thought I'd start a fun post...plus a little education for myself. There are 7 RCL Ship Classes. What makes each class unique or extra special? I'll start with what I know and my two cents.... Oasis Class - The Extra Neighbourhoods such as Central Park and Boardwalk, DreamWorks experience, Broadway show, future waterslides, Aqua shows Quantum Class - The North Star for views, RipCord for sky diving, the Sea Plex for activities such as Bumper Cars and rollerskating, DreamWorks, Broadway show Freedom Class - DreamWorks and H20 so kid friendly Radiance Class - ? Voyager Class - ? Vision Class - ? Sovereign Class - ? I know in general, the ships are offering tons of more options for dining. Before, there was the main dining room and windjammer. Now, there are many more spots (some complimentary, some extra) Edited May 27, 2015 by LuCruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryano Posted May 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Outdoor windjammer seating on Radiance is awesome. Not sure any other class has this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted May 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sovereign Class has the only true 360 degree view VCL I believe? Part of the view blocked by the rock wall I do realize though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nado44 Posted May 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Oasis Class - Central Park at night, Entertainment (Broadway, Aqua, Ice shows). Quantum Class - Two70 (look for the Harry Potter curtains), technology, ultra-modern. Freedom Class - This is the standard RC experience. Has a little bit of everything (Flowriders, rock wall, theater, etc). Radiance Class - Glass everywhere offering frequent sea views. Radiance of the Seas best in class. Voyager Class - Cool promenade. Great "introduction" to RC. Vision Class - Stunning atrium, Smaller/Intimate Size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuCruise Posted May 27, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Love reading all the responses. Looking forward to the beach pool on Allure. My understanding is it has a slow drop to get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Love reading all the responses. Looking forward to the beach pool on Allure. My understanding is it has a slow drop to get in? Correct. There are even loungers in the shallow part of the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is it has a slow drop to get in? I don't think I would describe it that way. As Bob said, the loungets are in the water, at least the front row. However the pool itself goes fro about 4 inches deep to 5' deep with a normal wall. It also has umbrellas with tables. Those come in handy since the lounges are in the water Edited May 27, 2015 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
