Rare BillOh Posted January 24 #3 Share Posted January 24 If the cruise has a lot of sea days, an Oasis class, or Freedom class (haven't done the Quantum class) But I did a 7 day cruise out of San Juan that had 5 or 6 ports and loved being on Jewel for that one. On a port heavy cruise I could do about any ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did 10 nights on Quantum with 7 sea days and it was a totally boring trip. 13 nights on a Symphony TA with 10 sea days and it was fantastic with plenty to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbear232 Posted January 24 #6 Share Posted January 24 For us, if there are a few days it would be Navigator class or above. If it’s port intensive and you’ll be doing lots of activities, then I wouldn’t care so much about the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Navigator is part of that class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destaw71835 Posted January 24 #8 Share Posted January 24 I did a 8 day on a Quantum class and found plenty to keep myself entertained but it depends on the individual. If I were doing anything longer than 8 days, I’d opt for an Oasis or Freedom class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted January 24 #9 Share Posted January 24 What is longer to you? We usually do two Southern Caribbean cruises every yeat 11 days Quantum class (Anthem, Odyssey) with 5 ports from NJ 12 days Vision class (Vision, Grandeur, Enchantment) with 5 ports from Baltimore. Second type is on older smaller ships, but we are never bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VernRDH Posted January 24 #10 Share Posted January 24 We are planning to do a 9 night next February on Serenade from Tampa. 4 ports, 4 sea days. We don't care for Oasis class, we like the smaller ships. And for us, a relaxing day in a lounger by the Solarium pool is heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalspin Posted January 25 #12 Share Posted January 25 12 hours ago, kaz828 said: We are still open on itinerary but want to have lots to do beyond the ports on a longer cruise Did you mean any ship in the Caribbean? or a Royal Caribbean cruise? as all the answers above seem to be about the latter. As of February 2020 we were booked in two Partially Obstructed Verandahs (balcony cabins) with my mom, brother, and SIL on the HAL Nieuw Statendam. It was back-to-back cruise R/T out of FLL (twice), with one leg hitting the ABC islands and the other swinging (IIRC) to the eastern Carib. Obviously, that cruise never happened. If it ever becomes available to us again (age has gone up and family health the other way), we would look for the same itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
