I’ve always been partial to the Escape We enjoyed the Dawn like 4 times because it was out of Boston, easy to navigate. Epic not quite so much but fun too. Gem was great because of Jeff Hernandez our favorite activities staff guy wonderful! The Bliss was amazing, dedicated comedy venue! Mojitos bar for dancing nightly. Outstanding activities staff! Parties out back at h20! The wings in osheanon pub! NCL in general keeps us busy dancing and fun times! Can’t wait to next time! Recently went on RCL adventure and was decent but not enough activities too much karaoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Fun Guys Posted June 14, 2022 #29 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We've only been on 3: Pride of America, Encore & Breakaway. Loved all 3, and for different reasons: POA was small and quaint, with superb service at every point. Encore was huge and new, terrific service (not even half full probably helped) & the Observation Lounge is the BEST. Breakaway was very nice, shows were exceptional, service good (they are seriously understaffed for the number of passengers). Pretty much a darker version of Encore w/o Observation Lounge. Like trying to name your favorite child... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P_Mcruisers Posted June 14, 2022 #31 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The GEM. An honorable mention for the DAWN. No selection for any Maga ships. (yet) I have asked many cruisers the same question "What is your favorite ship"'. And I have found that many name the first cruise ship they sailed on. The GEM was our first cruise ship fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cementhands Posted June 14, 2022 #32 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Years ago we enjoyed the Spirit out of New York City a cruise of winter cruises. Very nice small ship and easy to navigate around. Great cruise activities staff too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Cucina was overflow for the buffet and the menu had the presidential section and Cooking Light. Those were the days That was our first NCL ship in 2000. I do remember the Cooking Light selections on the menu. It was so fast to get anywhere on board! But also that ship made my husband think he might never be able to cruise without getting sea sick. We were on a Southern Caribbean route and boy did that lil' ship rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get it, even though they are SO different. The Spirit was the antidote to NCL's pre-Breakaway class cheesy, overly neon-decorated ships. The Escape is my current favorite ship, but the Spirit is still special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyTMo777 Posted June 14, 2022 #35 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Like any good love story, your first is always special, so I do love the Sun. But I think the Bliss is my favorite overall. I love the look of it and all of the activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrieBajan54 Posted June 14, 2022 #37 Share Posted June 14, 2022 All 4 Jewel Class ships and the Sun. Pros: The Great Outdoors which is protected from the wind and a wrap-around promenade deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjaypea42 Posted June 14, 2022 #38 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I absolutely love the Escape! I've gone on Escape, Getaway, and Pearl. What I love about each is the Spice H20, or the aft buffet area on Pearl. For that reason, I am hesitant to go on Encore; I feel like I'd really miss the SpiceH2O area. But I'm fixin' to go on Pearl in December, and that MIIIIIGHT just usurp Escape as my favorite! (We shall see!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysInMotionTravel Posted June 16, 2022 #39 Share Posted June 16, 2022 That's a hard question! I've been lucky enough to have never been on one I didn't like. 🙂 This thread really shows that each of us have a different focus. Fav, I'm going with the Pearl because it had all the little things we love and a great staff. ❤️ Dawn is a close second, the unique pool deck was great. It lacked the Great Outdoors which we really enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam The Cat Posted June 16, 2022 #41 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I have been on several NCL ships starting out with the Dawn when was introduced, the Gem, Spirt, Jewel, and will be sailing on the Joy in 2 years after several cancelations of cruises by NCL. Sailed on Dawn and Gen several times with the Gem I was introduced to the suites. On the Spirit, some how I was able to sail in the owners suite. There was just my girl friend and we did not know there were 2 bedrooms until the 4th day when we were looking around our suite. In all of the cruises I never had any complaints about anything or any staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
