Rare mandyleighflies Posted March 23, 2023 #51 Share Posted March 23, 2023 We love them all BUT I have to say Jewel OTS has been my favorite. It was my husband and I ‘s first major vacation together and holds sentimental memories for us. I also love the sleek look of the radiance class ships and all the windows. I love A ship that truly feels like a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were the first two cruise ships that we sailed on RC back in the 90's and will always have a fond place in our heart. Sovereign of the Seas was our first ever cruise! It has a fond place in our heart too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam0610 Posted March 23, 2023 #53 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Allure. Have her booked for July. Will be our 3rd time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare moposh Posted March 23, 2023 #54 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I liked the Serenade of the Seas. I enjoyed the movie theater and other amenities, but I miss the movie theater on other ships. And not the pool theater either.

teags Posted March 23, 2023 #55 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Probably Explorer. I think it's the perfect size and I love the layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugtech Posted March 23, 2023 #58 Share Posted March 23, 2023 My wife won our first cruise in a raffle in 2006, so Mariner was our first and favorite. Loved doing the Dubai to Barcelona cruise also on Mariner, just the right size, had the best bridge game I ever enjoyed. Liked Adventure and Anthem also, looking forward to a TA with Explorer next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, there's an overlook into the bridge room on the Mariner, I think deck 5 or 6, maybe a higher deck...can't remember. It was hard to find and we've never seen this little nook on any other ship. Has anyone else found this...looking down into the bridge where the ship is being run [we assume it was the bridge...all computery lit up and people doing things that looked important]? It was very interesting and a bit surprising they'd allow people looking in like that. Is this on any other ship anyone know? And if so, how might one get to it [even on the Mariner, doubt we could get back without a lot searching]. Maybe we were looking in on something else? Anyone enlighten on this?

Not a fan of the 4 closed in dining rooms, again partial to the elegant 3 level dining rooms of the other classes of ships. But stiil a beautiful ship and we had a great time. All of this plus no champagne bar, no ice rink, no central park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keishashadow Posted March 24, 2023 #64 Share Posted March 24, 2023 No major issues with any of our RCCL sailings, thus far lol. After reading several uncomplimentary threads re the Independence, appears we may be in the minority here but, enjoyed the Independence enough to rebook her for 3 day this summer. Oasis our current favorite. Love the layout of the solariums on that class. Covid cancelled our sailing on the Allure, thrilled to work it in this November if only for four nights.

clackey Posted March 25, 2023 #65 Share Posted March 25, 2023 We have only sailed on 4 RC ships but Serenade is my favorite so far. Love the layout, the Prominade view cabins, movie theater, water slides, and Ice rink. Oh, I almost forgot the hot tubes. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escortmad79 Posted March 25, 2023 #66 Share Posted March 25, 2023 So far, Indy is our favourite Least favourite is Anthem, don't like the layout of her 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseboy89130 Posted March 26, 2023 #69 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Odyssey best ship - best layout Anthem is second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted March 26, 2023 #70 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Our favorite is the Harmony of the Seas- really all Oasis class. We aren't fans of the old ships. Went on Adventure of the seas last summer so disappointing- old - run down staterooms. Never again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilbog Posted March 26, 2023 #71 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I have two favorites: The last ship I cruised on, and the net one I have scheduled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mostly terrible. However, even with its various design querks I still really like Odyssey. Explorer will always be special as she was our first RCI cruise. But I would say that Allure is on the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted March 27, 2023 #73 Share Posted March 27, 2023 It depends who I'm cruising with. If I'm with someone new to cruising or young, Oasis class. All-around, Anthem is a solid choice. Just me or with frequent cruisers who don't need the bells and whistles, Radiance class. The outside Windjammer is a huge plus for me. I'm more focused on itinerary and price though.

The old ladies are so nice, hard to get new cruisers excited unless it’s super port intensive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisinghawg Posted March 27, 2023 #75 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) First cruise was on the NCL's SS Norway. Berthed right behind it in POM was a brand new sparking white beauty the Sovereign of the Seas, next year we told each other. After 3 sailing on her I was sold as my favorite. In fact my DW purchased a print of her that hangs in our house. Love the tween deck, a short deck of cabins between 5 and 6. and all the lounges were aft with the Windjammer forward. Then Oasis came out so we have been on each and we both believe Allure is the favorite because the Diamond lounge is still on deck 11 with a rather decent view of the Boardwalk and there is no rotting intestines hanging from the back deck down to the Boardwalk!!
