No other cruise line can beat the Star Class Villa Suite that sleeps up to 14! We love Star Class and book Royal as often as we can. Prices have gone up considerably though. 30 minutes ago, flyguyjake said: I wish Royal would implement a dueling pianos concept. It's great fun and I think it would be a hit. Yuck who wants to spend 7 days (or even 1 day) in a hotel room with 14 people!? I like your dueling piano idea though. Those are fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseboy89130 Posted June 25, 2022 #52 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Quantum class, Freedom/ Voyager class - totally dislike Oasis class do not like the layout the central park and boardwalk area are nothing we like - so the whole ship does not feel right...can't undestand why Oasis class is so popular!

B/c different people have different tastes and preferences? I can't stand any ship smaller than Voyager class. They feel claustrophobic to me. I need a promenade. Others love the older, smaller ships. Different strokes... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really 4 bedrooms with a common area and folks can have privacy in their rooms. 2 interior rooms & 2 balcony suites with a common living/dining room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleC Posted June 25, 2022 #62 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) My favourite is Oasis class hands down. The bigger the better as far as I’m concerned! 😉 Edited June 25, 2022 by CaroleC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguyjake Posted June 25, 2022 #63 Share Posted June 25, 2022 How is Giovani's Table vs Jamie's? We really love Jamie's. The Lemon Meringue Cheesecake is to die for and so is the Lasagna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted June 25, 2022 #64 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I prefer Giovanni's over Jamie's. But that is all...personal choice. Actually I still miss Portofinos. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is! We have been on Ovation, Anthem, and Odyssey. We will be on Quantum in August. The only main difference is the sky pad that only the Odyssey has in this class and the vie that is completely open on the Odyssey, but not on the others. Those are the only differences that I noticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthem is definitely worth it! Have sailed Anthem many times and love the entertainment. We Will Rock You is excellent. Spectra's Cabaret is really good too. Most of the Tribute Bands we have seen have been really good too. Lots of food options, both included in your cruise fare, like Cafe at Two70 and Solarium Bistro, or at an additional cost like Chops, Jamies, and Wonderland. I can't wait for Anthem to get back to Cape Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted June 25, 2022 #70 Share Posted June 25, 2022 To me, the Symphony is the best. We've also sailed the Ovation in Alaska, which was very nice, but not in the Oasis Class of ships. The Wonder was beautiful, but the shows were underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
