dfa1 Posted March 15, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I never imagined I'd ask this question. Having been on only one class of ship (Voyager), and recognizing so many similarities between them, I often wondered why people would ask, "Which ship to you prefer, Voyager or Navigator?" Ok. So here goes. It's between the Jewel in Nov, and the Radiance in Dec. Only difference in one port and a few bucks in cost. Sigh...so does anyone have a preference?:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Same with Voyager class--only difference is the decor! (and itenerary!) It's all up to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted March 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I would make the decision based on the ports, and if that didn't help, then I would pick the one that was refurbished most recently. Since they are virtually identical. jc:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gratefulguy Posted March 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Is it possible that there would be a difference in cabin choice, or airfare, or weather anywhere along the way (from home airport to port or return), or whether there might be someone you met on a previous cruise on board? Is either date near TG, Hanukkah (12-16-06), Christmas, or school holidays that might influence prices or adult/child ratio? And if EVERYTHING else is really equal, wouldn't you rather go sooner than later!! Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cme Posted March 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The Radiance is doing the almost the exact itinerary as the Jewel. They will be alternaiting 6 and 8 night cruises. Carrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TPKeller Posted March 16, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2006 When all else is equal, or maybe even not so much, read the meet and mingle threads for the two sailings that you are considering. Since meeting fun new people is a big part of cruising (for some folks anyway) why not get a head start on that, and see which crowd is better suited to your own personality?

Libracruzer Posted March 16, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Jewel is a year newer - she is a sensational ship. I was on the eight day in December and would do that one again in a heart beat. Enjoy your cruise. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nliedel Posted March 16, 2006 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2006 They are so similar it's not worth quibbling imo. But that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabraun Posted March 16, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Only 2 Of The Voyager Class Ships Have The Childrens Water Park Area. I Know The Explorer Is One . Which Ship Has The Other One?
