ok so we were hesitant that anyone would be participating in the 70's Disco Inferno party but life is too short, so our group jumped in head first and had an awesome time!   For reference, i was going for a Disco King look and ended up looking like a 70's porn producer  LOL    we made our entrance down the aft glass elevator dancing the whole way.  by the time we hit the promenade, crowds were cheering us on.     had many onlookers grab us for photos and chat about our outfits.   great time had by everyone and we even made the RC TV loop for the remainder of the week.    most fun we've ever had on a cruise!
our group - me, my wife, sister in law, sister in law and brother in law


my brother in law killed it with his acrylic goldfish heels!

he certainly needs some polishing up on his interaction but he wasn't horrible.    i think after he gets some more time under his belt, he will be much better.

i say slap em with a huge fine but keep them coming to the US ports.   Any absence of Carnival in the US market place, while highly unlikely, will probably cost us more money simply from Royal taking advantage of the extra business gained from it all. 

If they had a good TA they wouldn’t have missed final payment lol

??? not far from the truth!!!

there's no cash on the table so i would be hard pressed to think any of the ship's personnel could say or do anything about it.   now if they witnessed the exchange of money that would be a different question.     never even occurred to me to get a live game going somewhere else other than the casino.  great idea!

Stocking up on bacon; best tip of the entire thread!

my list pales in comparison to everyone else's     don't hate - hah!
1 Mariner - our very first cruise ever
2 Liberty - sailing in 9 days whoo hoo!
3 Harmony - only 366 days to go!

For as long as she is in Galveston, I can drive and I don't have to fly.
When an O class gets assigned to Galveston and Liberty will probably be re-assigned I'm sure those will flip around a little.
Who knows, when we go on Anthem this summer I may fall in love with Q and only sail on them!!! I highly doubt that but just a thought.

Here is my very short list:
1: Carnival Pride (December 2003)
2: USS Anzio CG-68
 
These are the only two ships I have sailed on.  Can't wait for our sailing on Liberty in two weeks. 
 
Would not recommend the USS Anzio.  Food was very comparable to Golden Corral.  There was no stateroom attendant.  The bathrooms were community style.  They didn't offer an alcohol package.  The sailing was for only offered in 180 nights.  And the port schedule was way too variable.

We will sail both Symphony and Navigator for short sailings this summer.   I have a feeling I know where Symphony will fall in the list.  I'll be interested if I'll rank Navigator higher than Independence.  Here is where I'll rank my list so far. 
1.  Harmony
2.  Independence
3.  Liberty 
4.  Adventure
5.  Brilliance

For fun...list the ships you've been on and order them from best to last (and would love to hear reasons for each)
Here's mine...
Symphony Allure Independence Mariner Voyager Grandeur Have yet to be experience a bad cruise...and all Royal ships are beautiful.  Loved loved loved Symphony for all the amenities, shows, neighborhoods, so much to explore, food options, etc.
And of course, Allure is close behind as it's similar (just a few less features).
Voyager and Grandeur were long ago so much more basic compared to today.
Also loved Independence and Mariner but rated Independence one higher due to the great shows for being non-Oasis.
Can't wait to try Navigator, Adventure and Anthem  to see how they compare!
 
 

This is going to come as no surprise because you all know that I am #teamOAclass but here goes:
1. Harmony 
2. Oasis
3. Allure
4. Independence 
5. Mariner
6. Anthem
7. Adventure
8. Brilliance
9. Enchantment
This list might change once I sail Symphony in July. I have a feeling she might beat out Harmony. ?
 

Several are closely ranked and I could move one or two up or down a spot if I thought hard about it.
Symphony Harmony Anthem Navigator Ovation (estimated, will know in a few weeks) Allure Oasis Indy Mariner Liberty Adventure Freedom Explorer Serenade Brilliance Empress Radiance Vision Grandeur Enchantment  

Anthem Freedom Anthem wins on headliner entertainment (Spectra, We Will Rock You), availability of Coastal Kitchen, and the amazing Solarium; she also gets a point for practically being in my back yard. But it’s a close race as Freedom has more of a classic cruising feel to me, I liked the Royal Promenade much better than the Via / Esplanade, and she has a much better connection to the ocean. 

Much like @Lovetocruise2002 I am partial to the oasis class:
1. Symphony
2. Harmony
3. Oasis
4. Allure
5. Independence 
6. Mariner
7. Voyager
8. Brilliance 
BA4103F6-D2FD-41D2-9254-22DF7F55758F.MOV

1. Symphony
2. Anthem
3. Mariner
4. Radiance
5. Vision
This is my ranking based on ship only..it would be more difficult for me to rank them based on favorite cruises because I had an incredible time for different reasons on Mariner and Radiance.

Here Are Mine
1. Harmony 
2. Mariner (After Upgrades)
3. Navigator (After Upgrades) 
4. Oasis 
5. Allure 
6. Indy (After Amp)
7. Freedom
8. Adventure 
9..Brilliance
10. Serenade 
11. Majesty 
12. Empress 
13. Vision 
14. . Enchantment 
 

Ships I have sailed:
Empress Navigator Allure Brilliance Freedom Enchantment Ships I have not sailed in the order I want to sail them:

2. Allure
3. Harmony
4. Oasis
5. Independence 
6. Explorer

Obviously a big ship guy. Love Oasis Class, been ages since I last did Freedom Class (the itineraries suck).
