Which other cruise lines have ships like the Spirit class on Carnival?

[wickedhangover]

I think this is different than the normal "how does Carnival compare to Royal Caribbean?" thread. I actually don't care what the other lines are I'm just interested to know if anyone has experience on another line, on a ship that compares in style and qty of passengers to the smaller Carnival ships.

 

I'm having trouble finding a B2B itinerary for winter 2017 and figure it is time to consider other lines. We always book the extended aft-view cabins and basically I'm seeking recommendations of other lines/ship names that have the same type of cabin. I really don't care much about the rest of the offerings, I don't go to shows, the casino or really do much of anything other than lounge around.

The Costa Line (owned by Carnival) in Italy has 2.....and there may be a few more, like in Holland line.

The design is our favorite.

I understand the RCI Radiance class is a Panamax type as well [looking into booking her for this year actually]

Carnival Spirit was actually the first ship design to use the Vista hull. (Not to be confused with the upcoming Carnival Vista). It was followed by the Vista class of HAL: Oosterdam, Westerdam, Noordam, Zuiderdam. The HAL Signature class is the same hull with another deck added. Cunard's Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth are also on Vista hulls. Although a different design, Celebrity's M class ships are similar in size and passenger load to the Spirit class. NCL has quite a few ships of similar size, but larger passenger load. Costa has three ships that are comparable. Coral and Island Princess are also of similar size. EM

I second the Radiance class with Royal. I have been on the Carnival Legend twice and the Serenade of the Seas and the Jewel of the Seas, I think they were pretty similar in size.

I think HAL's ships are ugly. No real atrium. Guest services seems like a basement area.

Thank you for the responses, it is not easy to browse other lines by ship size. So having the ship names is really helpful.
