Cinders411 Posted March 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Hello to all! I have been a member here for awhile but, I have never posted in this forum. I have been on several cruises with RCI/Carnival but, am considering a change next year. What NCL ship would you recommend for my first time and why? Edited to add: We are a married couple in our 50's. Not dare devils. We enjoy entertainment shows/comedy clubs, having a few cocktails and laying in the sun while reading. We have done big ships and small ones but, prefer mid to large. Edited March 15, 2018 by Cinders411 To add additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be easier to answer if you provided more info such as who is going, ages, your interests, location, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinders411 Posted March 15, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yes of course you are correct. Too early in the morning here! We are a married couple in our 50's. Not dare devils. We enjoy entertainment shows/comedy clubs, having a few cocktails and laying in the sun while reading. We have done big ships and small ones but, prefer mid to large.

LabRat Posted March 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2018 My wife and I (upper 40's) had a wonderful time on the Escape last week. The ports could have been more interesting, but the ship was great. I did a short review here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanadaydreaming Posted March 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2018 escape or bliss for first timer, although I think you'll do fine on any ship. I haven't booked a Carnival cruise in a few years, NCL and MSC have had much better deals. (I type that having $1200 of CCL gift cards in my sock drawer) Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davy jones Posted March 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I you like ships like Carnival Miracle or Legend or Grandeur of the Seas, you will like ships like the Norwegian Gem and that class. If you like Carnival Breeze or RCI Voyager Class or Quantum Class, then you will like the Breakaway Class. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted March 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Go for one of the newer mega ships. They are equivalent to RCI Quantum-class ship. The newest is the Bliss. Then the Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted March 15, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Depending on when and from where you are going, look at Encore, Bliss, Escape, Getaway, or Breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
