Just as a favorite can be sitting at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted September 19, 2023 #52 Share Posted September 19, 2023 On 9/16/2023 at 5:33 PM, Host Jacquelyn said: For the old timers on the board: What is the oldest Royal Caribbean ship you sailed, what is the newest, and what is your favorite ship (or class)? To the newcomers, what ship most interests you? The oldest ship I was on was Monarch of the Seas, in the 90s. It felt so big at the time! The newest ship I sailed was Wonder. It's tough for me to say what my fave class is! Oldest - Monarch; Newest - Wonder; Favorite - any Radiance class ship. Oldest all time M/S Veendam in 1981👴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted September 19, 2023 #53 Share Posted September 19, 2023 My oldest of all time was the MS Regal Empress (launched as SS Olympia in 1953); sailed on her in 1988. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARandomTraveler Posted September 21, 2023 #57 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Are we talking "oldest at the time we sailed" or "oldest in the fleet in general right now?" Oldest: Explorer in 2004, when it was pretty new, but of all the ships I've sailed , it's the oldest one right now. The oldest ship I've sailed (meaning, it had been around the longest by the time I sailed it compared to the other ships I've sailed): Adventure Newest: Spectrum Favorite: Symphony Edited September 21, 2023 by ARandomTraveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was surprised how much I recently enjoyed Vision and that was because of crew and ship layout There is no negative RCI ship IMHO Hi since you know other solo travelers can you let chat know if you take any RC cruises in the future so I can maybe tag? I can’t find other friends that like to cruise as much as I do. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW248 Posted October 17, 2023 #59 Share Posted October 17, 2023 On 9/18/2023 at 3:35 PM, Another_Critic said: Vision is the newest. Vision class is the only class where the last ship in the class bares the class name; it's normally the first ship that bares the class name. I’ve always been confused by this. Does anyone know why?

marchand28 Posted October 17, 2023 #63 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Oldest: Nordic Empress Newest: Odyssey Favorite: Odyssey. One of the reasons for that is the first time we sailed on her there were only 750 passengers so we were VERY spoiled. Have our 3rd cruise on Odyssey in April.
