Do You Do Repeat Cruising on Same RCI Ship?

We are "Ship People" and simply enjoy being on the ship!

 

Any RCI Ship, Any Time, any Itinerary, They Are All Good...

I've done 2 on Majesty, and will be doing my second on Enchantment in a couple of weeks. So, yes!

 

Each experience is different, so I don't mind.

 

After my 3rd time on Majesty I said "No more", but now that I know she is staying if someone wanted to go and they wanted to go on her again, I would go along. But that will be less likely when she moved out of Miami, but who knows what brings after that.

I have 3 more booked on the Majesty just because I love the smaller older ships and will miss her after she repositions. I would love to add one more if I can swing it.

 

I'm a fit guy, but huge ships tend to exhaust me.

We book based on itinerary, price and port, with price/port sometimes being the more important!:D We have a second home in Satellite Beach which is about 15-20 mins away from Port Canaveral plus an easy drive to Tampa and an okay drive to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami so it is very easy to watch cruising prices for the times I know we are going to be in Florida and book something for that period.

 

Although we may cruise on the same ship, each cruise is unique to us.

We have done 2 on Adventure, Allure, Freedom, and Mariner. Navigator took the lead with three back in March, but Oasis catches up on Saturday. We're trying Liberty for the first time next March, so we'll have to be fair and go on her again after that. :D

 

I can't image what would happen if we actually lived anywhere near a port.

We've sailed many of Royal's ships several times. What keeps us coming back is the excellent service by the crewmembers.

 

Just like you we have cruised on several ships multiple times....and as you say the crewmembers make for a good return visit, even though crew members change. Some ships just have an aura that regardless of who the crew members are, the level of service is good to excellent.

We did the Explorer back in 2009 and loved it so much just had to keep going back on her. Now with all these newer ship that are coming into Bayonne we can only cruise once a year because of the higher prices of the rooms. What we use to pay for a JR suite or even a grand suite we could do 2 a year no more. Would like to have one ship put here and stay for a few years so the prices can come down again.

Twice on Vision. I'd repeat any of the RCI ships.

[xxoocruiser]

Have been fortunate to have been on 5 continents as well as on numerous cruises. Itineraries are no longer a factor in my cruising decisions. The ship is now my destination. Have repeated many ships thus repeating many itineraries.

We like sailing on different ships, but price and itinerary are what drives it not to say we would not repeat a ship.

[island lady]

Would love to fill a wish list to have cruised on every ship in the RCI fleet, but driving to a local state port is a big factor for us. No limits on the luggage due to air lines either! ;) :p

[CRUISEMAMI]

Oasis= 11 times

Brilliance= 23 times

Indy= 5 times

NAv= 5 times

FR= 5 times

And many 1 time only;

For us is the Crew Members and the service!

 

We love the "welcome back" banner in our cabin....

[cjdixon4]

We have done Freedom 12 times

 

OP here. Wow, you win the prize. :eek:

[cjdixon4]

Brilliance= 23 times

 

I gave the prize to someone else, but I guess YOU should get it! LOL ;)

[Diplomacy]

Number one consideration for me while cruising is destinations. I don't care about the ships at all. Its not like they put a lot of work into making each ship "special" or "unique." They are all decorated the same, serve the same food in the same places in the same way...Even the quality of service you receive seems to somehow rise or decline as a matter of fleet-wide policy rather than individual ship politics.

That said, I'd RATHER be on the nice ships than the less nice ships... so OF COURSE i'd revisit the allure if given the option.

Have only done 3 cruises so far but 2 of those were on Voyager of the Seas. Upcoming cruise is on Explorer of the Seas. Love the Voyager class ships!!

[ShawninFL]

We've sailed Grandeur, Vision, Enchantment, Majesty, and Liberty at least twice each. I don't think we've ever said, oh I like this or that ship, let's go on it again. We always choose our cruises based on price and itinerary. When looking for a cruise we do look at Celebrity and RC first as they are our preferred lines, but ship is down the list in importance.

Yes. Sailed on Adventure last spring and have booked again for this coming summer. Great ship and crew.

 

Loved Enchantment and would sail her again if she were in PC which she won't be by the time I'm ready to book again. :mad:

Started cruising on RCL May 2013 and have been on many of their ships multiple times.

 

Oasis 2x, Indy 7x, Freedom 7x, Liberty 4x & Adventure 4x.

 

Being a smoker the Adventure has become my favorite ship because smoking is allowed on the starboard side, which is where the DL is located overlooking the BB court and next to the rock climbing wall.

 

Like it so much I have 17 cruises booked on the Adventure ( all paid in full ) starting Nov 28, 2015.

 

To me the Southern Caribbean is the best itinerary and is port intensive.

[BillOh]

That said, I like to go to Spring Training in Tampa and then cruise on Brilliance, and I'll probably do that for the foreseeable future.

 

Other than that, I'm looking more at itinerary these days instead of price.

 

Good idea, I've never thought of that or heard it mentioned. I did enjoy one cruise out of Tampa and have a friend in the area. Thanks for that idea.

Are you allowed to smoke outside in the DL deck?

[mattpro]

Are you allowed to smoke outside in the DL deck?

 

Yes, smoking is allowed out on the veranda of the DL.

Yes we have cruised the same ship many times. The primary reason is the location of the ship's embarkation port. We cruised the Rahpsody many times from Galveston, the Voyager after that, then the Mariner, then the Navigator and soon the Liberty. We have also taken cruises on other RCCL ships again like the Brilliance bass now out of Tampa.
