Looking for opinions on RCCL vs Carnival (or whoever)

[leela14]

We have sailed on RCCL, NCL and Celebrity. We want to go on another cruise in May or June of this year and wanted to go on RCCL. We love the big beautiful ships with all the activities. I've been wanting to do a cruise on an Oasis or Quantum class, however we are having a hard time finding an itin and cabin location that we want.

 

There are no other cruise lines that can match RCCL for ships in those classes right? We aren't looking for a sedate laid back relaxing cruise, we are looking for as many activities as we can find - including night life and shows. We really found the night life and shows on both NCL and Celebrity, well, awful, compared to RCCL (for out tastes, I know many people enjoyed the shows, but they didn't cater to our tastes).

 

Should I persevere until I find something with RCCL or is there another cruise line/ship I should consider?

 

Thanks!

The direct competitors to RCCL Oasis class are:

 

NCL

Epic

Getaway

Breakaway

Escape

 

MSC

Seaside

 

Approaching being a direct competitor but without as many the specialty restaurants and most of their shows are just stand up comedians and one or two lame production shows:

 

Carnival

Vista

Magic

Breeze

Horizon
