Susie51 Posted December 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What is your favorite RCCL cruise? My favorite cruise is 5 night Bermuda cruise in 2012 in a Grand Suite. Second favorite is 7 night W. Carib. in 2015 which was also in a GS. I enjoy having dinner on the balcony and the ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewenix Posted December 30, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Transatlantic cruises. What did you enjoy about that more than a caribbean, alaska, or med? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tall Posted December 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I'd have to say that it's a toss up between our 11 night cruise years ago on the Empress of the Seas (because it was out of San Juan, included about 8 ports and the ship turned out to be my favorite) or our 2010 12 night European cruise (because it was out of Barcelona and, well, it's Europe). Of course, I like to think that my favorite cruise is always the one I'm about to take... Edited December 30, 2015 by 2tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What did you enjoy about that more than a caribbean, alaska, or med? Relaxation (lots of sea days), multinational demographic, enrichment lectures, and ending up in a different place from where we started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesSummitCruiser1 Posted December 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2015 January 2009 10 day cruise out of Barcelona on Brilliance. We visited Malaga (went to Grenada and toured the Alhambra), Lanzarote and Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Casablanca, and Cadiz. Since it was January there were no crowds at any of the shore attractions. I wish RCI would go back to Spain in the winter. I know the Med was Hard on Brilliance, but if they just did the Canary Islands and stayed out of the Mediterranean Sea then maybe the seas would not be so rough. We can't wait to go back to the Med and cruise again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted December 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 30, 2015 While I've enjoyed every cruise I've been on, my first Med cruise has to be my favorite. Was my first time in Europe & really opened up a whole new world for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second favorite is 7 night W. Carib. in 2015 which was also in a GS. I enjoy having dinner on the balcony and the ports of call. Great thread Susie. Neat to see various responses. Mine were The Med/Adriatic last year (OV deck 3), Greece/Turkey 2011 (interior deck 7) and Panama/ABC islands out of Colon 3 years ago (JS corner aft on Vision... the most amazing balcony ever!!!). The cabin for me has not ended up being the deciding factor... For me the best long term memories have been the awe of the ports of call/culture and not the ship themselves. I think once I get to retirement age I will not be sailing the Carib on 7 day itineraries over and over and over again... the way to go for me will be longer itineraries in Europe and elsewhere to explore the world imho. :D EDIT: Thinking about this more, I had a superb Quantum cruise not only for the new ship experience, but also meeting some awesome people like Merion-Mom, Beachcruzer, mommabean and others from Cruise Critic. Just recently on Jewel got to meet elleluv... to me makes a difference in who you meet and the friendships. Would love to sail with them again and is a great reason why so many cruisers plan to cruise with each other regardless of ship & itinerary.

Also that's the cruise where I met my husband and my entire life changed dramatically (for the better :D) Edited December 30, 2015 by Sandy Sails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted December 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Our favorite is the round trip to Hawaii from San Diego on Radiance in 2006. We'd do this again in a heart beat if RCI would offer this itinerary again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted December 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What is your favorite RCCL cruise? For me, this was a thought provoking question because although RCI is my favorite line, my most favorite cruises have been on other lines. Make sense? :o For RCI, I'd have to go with my 2004 wedding cruise on Adventure out of SJ. We got married on day 2 in St. Thomas and the rest of the cruise was a big party for us and our families.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted December 30, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So far, Alaska is probably my favorite. But certain Caribbean cruisers are very nice also. However, my experience is limited. I'll be going on longer cruises to more interesting destinations starting in 2017. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 30, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I was unemployed but we did a 10 day Hawaii cruise anyway in a inside cabin about 12 years ago, we were upgraded to a small outside cabin that was great. One night on the cruise after dinner we passed a active volcano pouring a river on red lava into the ocean and could see the steam rise of the ocean, captain said we had plenty of time and turned the boat around so we could see it from any outside cabin, we were on top deck the whole time. Other great cruise is getting engaged on Sovereign in 1990. Last 2 cruise in GS has totally spoiled me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondo Posted December 30, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 30, 2015 12 day Med. cruise, Barcelona-Venice route. Fantastic! 2nd place is Southern Caribbean, we've done two. Hoping Greece-Turkey next year will be memorable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hancogran Posted December 31, 2015 #17 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Another vote for transatlantic cruises! Done 4 so far and loved every one.. So relaxing and love spending an extra few weeks in Europe or the British Isles. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted December 31, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 31, 2015 We've only done four cruises, but it was our 8 night Eastern on the Indy in 2014. Great itinerary, great ship! We liked it so much that we're kinda repeating the cruise this April (same itinerary but opposite order), but on the Navigator. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted December 31, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) March 2014, DH, myself, daughter and his sister flew to Sydney, Australia and did 3 cruises. 13 Day NZ, Transpacific and Hawaii to Vancouver. I would have to say that was the most memorable cruise we have done. Edited December 31, 2015 by Desert Cruizers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molsonschooner Posted December 31, 2015 #22 Share Posted December 31, 2015 It is hard for me to say but I would have to say our Alaskan cruise on the Radiance. Great ship, great weather and great company. We cruised with DS, DIL and her Mom and her mom's husband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted December 31, 2015 #24 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) I really love the Transatlantic cruises. Especially the last one on Vision. I think Bob would agree that it was a pretty special cruise. BUT......my favorite cruise has to be our 15 night Legend of the Seas cruise in the Baltic Sea. Really had a blast! The 3 nights in Russia were incredible. St Petersburg is a unbelievable beauty and the day spent in Moscow was something I thought I would never do.
