What is “your” ship, or do you have one?

[zekekelso]

The Liberty was my first RCI ship, and she will always be “my” ship. I’ll sail on other ships, even other Freedom-class, but it’s never quite the same. 
 

Just curious - do you guys have a ship that will always be special to you, or are you more the latest-and-greatest fan or, to quote Stephen Stills, a love-the-one-your-with kind of cruiser.

Norwegian Escape

Enchantment / Grandeur ... because I could decide early in the week that I wanted to go on a cruise the upcoming weekend. No flights or hotel and one of the easiest ports to depart from - just drive 35 min and park my car or have our son chauffeur us. Love sailing under the bridges in the Baltimore/ Chesapeake area and seeing cars approach the tunnel in Norfolk.

Allure will be my *next RCL cruise (most likely).  It was my first and even with a *break for Adventure of the Seas I will plan to return.  Bonus points for sailing out of Galveston.

Mariner of the Seas will always have a special place in my heart.  She is the first cruise ship I sailed on, Spring Break April 2004.  I have been on 14 other ships since, but she will always be my favorite.  We have an 8 nighter booked on her for June 2022, and I cant wait to introduce my 14 year old son to her.

TSS Fairstar ,Sitmar / P&O Australia,  had real timber deck , timber doors with brass port holes and were heavy . No plastic decking and some door ways had a threshold to step over a real ship . For Royal Caribbean Rhapsody best staff 😇

Harmony is my favorite ship since I was on one of her first cruises in the UK but Freedom has my heart for other reasons .😍

Mariner.  That was our first family cruise, and then 3 more times where we had our good friends, who also had teenagers, join us. Those were our most memorable family vacations, so much fun. We even followed her out to LA in 2009 when she was sailing down to Cabo. Good times.

Whichever one I’m currently on 🙂. I loved the Observation Deck on NCL Joy — looking forward to enjoying the same setup on Bliss at the end of the year.  It’s been too long since we’ve sailed Royal to choose one of their ships, but I’m sure we will love AOS in August.

Mariner- one of the best weeks of my life back in 2005 🙂. A close second is Liberty. 

[Jarmo]

Grandeur.

[Bloodgem]

Anthem. We were on her first cruise out of Southampton (not the cruise for invited guests or media).

It was fun, most of the lights in the cabin had no bulbs; The Bionic Bar kept breaking down; The lift in Seaplex stopped working with some one in it. We were waiting to use the lift so my DS (who is confined to a wheelchair) had to use the lift accompanied by any engineer (wearing overalls) and an officer, it was a tight squeeze.

Any of the Oasis class ships, though I give preference to Symphony and Harmony because of the improved closet space over Oasis and Allure, and I love having a balcony cabin overlooking Central Park.

[fla gang]

Two favorites, Harmony and Ovation!

Whatever ship home ports in Baltimore.

[kruise runner]

Our first on Royal was Jewel Seas . Jewel will always be our best perfect Cruise Ship and Cruise .Second would be Carnival Dream. But then all our cruises are special to us.

Bliss on the Gem. Pure heaven!

Symphony and Anthem ❤️

I don't have a "my" ship. Enchantment in 2001 was my first cruise. We've been on many since and have enjoyed them all.

[CroozFanatic]

Seven day cruise out of Miami, Florida.

[lakelorain]

Jewel of the Seas.  8 cruises on her and 2 more booked.  I like the ports she visits and think the food and service is better on her.

 

[loman]

Any Oasis class ship . Been on Oasis and Allure several times and hope to sail Symphony next year.

[broadwaybaby123]

Mine seems to be Grandeur, as I've sailed on her (about 4 times) more than any other ship in 20 cruises.

[soremekun]

Harmony.  Now I must try the other new or amped Oasis class ships.

 

Sorry Allure!

[DaniDanielle]

Oasis, don’t know why I prefer it over the other Oasis class but I do.
