navybankerteacher Posted October 5, 2023 #27 Share Posted October 5, 2023 “Amazing” can be read two ways. Norwegian Gem provided my most amazingly bad experience, while Oceania Insignia was amazing in the other direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband was wowed by the HAL Nieuw Amsterdam when she was first launched. Now we like the newest HAL class, namely the Koningsdam. But not sure "amazing" is the right word. Welcoming and comfortable, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldubs Posted October 6, 2023 #30 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I don't think I can name one single ship as the most amazing. In very general terms I would say my favorites are the Princess Grand Class and Celebrity Solstice and Millennium Class ships. Again in very general terms, I prefer ships that do not have the interior boulevards or boardwalks. Not to say we don't use and enjoy them, especially when doing a family group cruise.

On the amazingly bad note, and ironically consistent with NCL, mine were Norwegian Dawn and Norwegian Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the cruiseline (and NCL-fans) use the excuse that those are small and old ships and that 'we' should sail the big new Norwegian ships to change our minds. But I feel strongly that if a line can't maintain its older ships, AND the morale of their crews (which was also sadly lacking) -- why should I give them another chance? We had a fine time on RCCL's older small ship the Rhapsody OTS, as well as the two oldest ships that HAL still floats, so I know it can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity Flora was the most amazing cruise experience I have ever had. Runners up are the Viking Sea and Celebrity Edge. I anticipate Viking Octantis being up there, if not #1.

Rare cruisemom42 Posted October 6, 2023 #34 Share Posted October 6, 2023 This thread has brought home to me that I don’t really think much about how “amazing” the ship was but rather where it took me and how much I enjoyed the total experience. My favorite cruises by far were undertaken on a small repurposed 1950s European car ferry that became the Aegean Odyssey. Nothing else comes close to comparing to their wonderful itineraries and lecturers on a ship of about 350 passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more of a true sailing ship than Windstar ecen to the fact that all the sails are raised and manipulated by hauling on ropes. You can also climb the masts and lie on the nets at the bow spirit. DON Edited October 6, 2023 by donaldsc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted October 9, 2023 #37 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) WindJammer cruises were too .... until they sank a ship in a hurricane with loss of the crew (they had off loaded pass') .... but I mention this tongue in cheek ..... Clipper has a good reputation ... my days of climbing the rigging are in the past! Here I am at the 'truck' ..main mast EAGLE around '74 .... and while this 150 foot climb might be impressive I offer this ..... do you see EAGLE there .......

Rare spethstation Posted October 10, 2023 #38 Share Posted October 10, 2023 So far, mine is Harmony of the Seas...but I am a cruise newbie by most CC member standards so I have a lot more ahead of me. I'll never forget the feeling I got stepping on board - just blown away by every little thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrmiles Posted October 10, 2023 #39 Share Posted October 10, 2023 NCL Star our first cruise and most cruises (3). Wife was impressed by the rescue it did in the Pacific quite a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
