WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RCCL SHIP (CURRENT OR PAST AND WHY)

[Hoopster3145]

Just wanted to throw in a fun poll, because everyone is looking for somthing different in a ship!

Mine is the Navigator. When I was on the brilliance I didn't think anything would top it, it was an awesome ship, but then came my Navigator trip, and the size and the extras on those ships just left me in awe!

Love AOS but maybe it is because she sails the southern caribbean that I love. Also like the Mariner.

Hi,
Adventure. We sailed her in her first months at sea. We loved the Promenade.

I love the Nordic Empress/Empress of the Seas! It is the only ship I have been on!!!!!

I am looking forward to a cruise on a Voyager Class ship though. They look awesome!!!!

[cyacrusin]

So far its the Voyager. The staff was wonderful the whole experience was great. We have an upcoming cruise on the Navigator in 20 days so we can then compare. I am sure it will be just as good !!
Happy Crusin... http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[norbe37817]

We've been on a lot of cruises and on a number of ships but our hands down favorite is the Grandeur. Not too small and not too big - just right! The crew/staff can't be beat for their service and kindnesses!

peggy

[KeepOnCruzin]

The Brilliance is the nicest ship I have been on, maybe its because we did the MED cruise on her, but she was still beautiful.
Also the the Adventure, love the southern itenerary.

Hopefully the Jewel will top it, she will be o month old when we go on her...(from maiden voyage)

sovereign of the seas...the crew is absolutly the best.

[Hlitner]

Sun Viking! Why? Because she was small, very friendly, had Captain Otto Bang, and the best crew morale (which seemed to rub-off on the passengers).

Hank

[TexasTwoSteps]

Anyone remember the Nordic Prince. The ship was actually cut in half and lengthened at one time. It was small in class but not in fun compared to the biger ships of today.

[GeraldOfHouston]

After 24 cruises, I will go on nothing less than a Voyager-Class ship. (Can't wait for the Ultra-Voyager to make its appearance!) It has everything. With RCI cruise ships at my back door in Houston, I will still go to Miami until they bring a Voyager class ship here. The new Queen Mary doesn't even interest me.

[Hoopster3145]

I agree, the Queen Mary 2 doesn't seem to have near the remarkable features that the RCCL voyager ships have.

I also am very excited in the Ultra Voyager only 2 years down the road!

[ALANG]

Just got off the Queen Mary a couple of weeks ago. RCCL ships are much nicer, the crew is better, the entertainment is better, the service is better, and most of all the people who sail on RCCL are much better. The Queen Mary cruise was the worst one I have ever taken.

[TOMMYCRUISER]

I like the Brilliance of the Seas it's the perfect si=ze ship not the big and not to small and the crew is outstanding.

I love the Serenade of the Seas. It is by far the most elegant, most beautiful RCCL ship we have sailed on. But I love them all!

I loved the Enchatment. I guess it was the wood and the decor. I do prefer the Radiance class ships, though, because of the amenities. We sailed the Radiance through the Canal last year and had the time of our lives. The crew was great and the service was Excellent. We are looking forward to the Brilliance in two weeks.

Song of America, perfect size IMO

[RCLforever]

Of RCCL, I loved the Grandeur....but would LOVE to try the Jewel.... and I do love Celebrity too!!!!

[superdaveNJ]

Easy.. The Sun Viking... I wish they would start making smaller ships again... It was so intimate and the crew was super friendly... This current 3000 passenger beasts just can't compare...

[knuterock8]

I would have to say hands down the Song of America.A close second would be Grandeur of the Seas. I hoping the Serenade tops them both next month.

[Snow Queen 32]

Rhapsody of the Seas. Most likely my favorite for the following reasons: Our first cruise, our first trip to Alaska, my first whale watch excursion, meeting a couple who we have remained friends with and we've cruised with again even though we are several states away.
Everything about that trip was perfect. Great service, great shows, Alaska, still had great food then, did I mention Alaska??

[Dolphins]

Legend of the Seas excellent Mediterranean cruise out of Barcelona. There's nothing as impressive as sailing into Venice and visiting Rome, Florence, Naples, Sicily and Monaco on the same cruise. With excellent weather, it was truly a cruise to remember.

[james j feller]

I always remember the NORDIC PRINCE and SONG OF NORWAY.

JIM

[OBAYbee]

Navigator hands down!

[frayedknot]

I love the Monarch because she is a classic
(old school) especially deck 7- reminds me of the Queen MAry
(where I hang out when I'm not cruising)

#14 Monarch of the Seas 5-21-04

[ramjet]

I really liked th Song Of America. It was my first cruise and it hooked me. I am looking foward to a voyager class ship, then one of the new maga ships still to come. Ramjet

[gprentice]

I really enjoyed the Navigator of the seas.
It'll be hard to top that one for me.
Will be trying the Millenium in Europe next month - hope it holds up to the Navigator.

[mariapd719]

The prettiest ship I have been on is the Radiance (with Golden a close 2nd) BUT the best and most memorable is of course the Enchantment (wish it still did the 7 day) It had the best crew, service and best overall pool deck layout(which is VERY impt to me). On the Radiance the hot tybs were in the way too much and on the Golden it was just a really tight fit near the pool.

Enchantment Feb,2002; Monarch Nov,2002; Radiance Nov,2003; Golden Princess Feb 28,2004
