Of the approximately 165 hours I am on a cruise during a 7 day voyage, I figure I’m looking at the outside for maybe 2 of them. I am more interested in the inside. mac_tlc That’s my thoughts also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite RCCL cruise ship is the one I'm lucky enough to be on at the time! My worse day on a cruise ship beats my best day at the office. Bill great attitude. But surely you must have one ship that you really loved. Song of America was supposed to have been really great in her day. I did Sovereign back in here first year.

The rest in the RC fleet (IMO) are very pretty .. love the Freedom, Vision and Radiance classes and I've been on all 3. Also loved the Sovereign Class . . such an elegant, clean design. When I'm in port looking over at "our" ship, I like being proud of the one I'm going back to. I know I'm gonna get flamed .. so .. fire away! Lol I actually care very much about the look of the ship, too. I posted something about that a long time ago and the flames followed. I think RCI's V/F class ships are about the best of the new breed of ship. I also can't stand ships with hideous paint jobs. Yes NCL and Aida, I'm talking to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaRob Posted June 29, 2022 #229 Share Posted June 29, 2022 This came up on the one of the other recent ship/class threads. Everyone has their favourites, but I also like going to some different ports. The Oasis sisters are by nature only big ports/stops so also loving the vibe on Radiance class and also going to some other smaller ports that are not able to welcome the big girls. As noted my wife disagrees wholeheartedly so we have to do 2 cruises so we can both be happy 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me almost 20 years to get there. I'll take it. Thanks for your reply. All the best and have fun on your next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes NCL and Aida, I'm talking to you. I am one of the "inside of the ship" is where I spend the most time, so it is more important. But at the same time, I agree totally with you as well. A few months ago we were docked at St. Maarten on Harmony. Poor little Rhapsody came in for restock and crew change. The little ship had been out of service for income sailings for months, anchored off of St. Maarten as crew isolation ship, and no work had been done to the outside of her for those many months. She was looking really rough. Lots of rust and outside neglect. Hope she has a new face lift by now. Always loved that little ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I think although the oasis class has very good profiles for as big as she is, and the quantum class doesn’t look bad either. I agree totally that the voyager and freedom classes are the prettiest, and look the most like a ship in the fleet. But NCL and MSC seem to have forgotten what a ship looks like. Prima and World Europa look like glorified rockets at sea. (Don’t even get me started on virgin) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
