My husband and I have been cruising 1-2 (and sometimes 3x a year) for years and mostly on Royal. I imagine it is hard to keep updating the older ships as they continue to crank out these newer and bigger ships every year! Our favorite is the Oasis Class because there is so much more to do on board and so many dining choices as well. As I read the disappointing comments from some of you about Voyager's Amp (or lack there of), here's a thought.....you might want to look at itineraries on Celebrity. We actually went on Celebrity Equinox in the Eastern Caribbean in October (hadn't been on Celebrity in 10 years so we decided to try it because they had a great itinerary for us) and we really enjoyed it! The ship is really pretty, service was exceptional and food was outstanding no matter where we ate. We liked it so much we went again just 2 weeks ago and booked 2 more on Celebrity including their new Apex ship. I know they have Australian Itineraries, so it might be worth a look. The good news is that your Royal Caribbean Crown and Anchor level will be recognized at the same level on Celebrity's Captain's Club. The points however do not transfer; they stay with each line. I also think they are geared more to a relaxing, quieter cruise vacation....so no rock climbing, skating, waterslides, etc. If you are traveling with a lot of children, you may want to stick with Royal. Like Royal, they also have updated a lot of their fleet so definitely take a look at them.....at least it is an option for you! Cheers and happy sailing!

Do you or anyone have the 2020 RCCL CD list??? Thanks so much!
