What's your favorite class of RCCL ships? (Split up by sub-classes this time!)

[lablvr2]

Radiance class is the absolute best! Are you listening RCI??? You should be!

After my first cruise on ROTS, I looked back when I was disembarking and said - I will see you soon. Got home and booked her again. After that cruise I booked Jewel - another gem! Got off that cruise and we now have Serenade booked for Nov.

I'm not interested in sharing my vacation with 5000 people. Give me this class any day. The decor, the light, the glass - it's pure class. They should concentrate on building more of her class. Just my opinion.....it's a nice comfort zone for me!

I know I've done this poll before, but, with a lot of people unhappy with my previous poll, because it wasn't split up by different classes, I've decided to redo this poll! Enjoy!

 

Voyager class hands down.

By the way,

I'm not digging your tag line. You think you should have a permanent ship in Texas because you have more people than Florida? That may be true but there are many more factors involved. Florida weather year round is vastly superior, Florida is closer to the caribbean destinations, Floridians have a larger base of cruisers, and finally South Florida has some of the richest counties in the U.S. Hopefully you will get a ship again, but maybe you need to choose another location other than Florida to match up against.

Tough choice here! There hasn't been a Royal Caribbean ship that I haven't loved!!

By the way,

I'm not digging your tag line. 1) You think you should have a permanent ship in Texas because you have more people than Florida? That may be true but there are many more factors involved. 2) Florida weather year round is vastly superior, 3) Florida is closer to the caribbean destinations, 4) Floridians have a larger base of cruisers, and finally South Florida has some of the richest counties in the U.S. Hopefully you will get a ship again, but maybe you need to choose another location other than Florida to match up against.

 

1) Yes! The demand for more cruises here is VERY strong! More population = more cruisers! I'm not saying Texas should have more ships than Florida, because you have a good point on getting to the cruise destinations, but, We should have at LEAST a year-round ship from RCCL!

 

2) Oh, please! Are you counting Galveston in there, or all of Texas?

3) Yes, BUT, They can do the Western Caribbean route nearly the Same as they can from Florida! (They have to cut of Labadee on the Cozumel / Grand Cayman / Jamaica route, but that's minor)

 

4) Yes, they do! But, Texas has a high enough base for AT Least 1 RCCL ship in Galveston!

5) Yes, and that's why Florida has so many ships. But, Texas still should have something, due to the reasons above!

Well said! Our 1st cruise was on Serenade. We have traveled on the Jewel and Radiance as well. Voyager and Explorer are great ships but they just are not as classy as the Radiance class ships (in my opinion).

Hoping RCI is listening and brings one of the Radiance class ships back to the New York area:D.

You can vote on more than one(at the same time)

 

 

I voted on two but I should have voted on all of them. Love all the ones I have been on!

[Gracie115]

how can ANYONE vote for Oasis...has not even sailed yet.....

 

Jewel RULES!!

The Radiance class still remains the most beautiful and elegant ships on the sea. Shame that RCL did not build all of them out. Perhaps one day they will consider building some more. (instead of bigger floating islands....):D

[leoandhugh]

Unfortunatly, while bigger may not be better, bigger ships mean bigger profits and that is what RCCL looks at. Not the fact that the Radiance class is so liked and popular. We have cruised all four of the Radiance class and are going again in November. Floating shopping malls with ice rinks and virtually no relation to the sea are just not our bag - plus their size limits where they can berth. Thanks, but no thanks for those giants of the waves.:)

[caribbeanboy]

Especially operational wise it makes more sense to operate bigger ships. Same costs (or slightly more) but much more passengers onboard so much more revenue.

unfortunately as with so many things these days...it's all about the money....
