PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Oasis / Allure / Freedom / Adventure / Voyager Looking forward to checking out Independence in just 3 more weeks and then Symphony in May! I’m sure my list will have to be changed somewhere between those 2 and of course Utopia next September will then be added to the mix!

JasonOasis Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 This is a tough one I have so many and I love every single Oasis Class ship but if I had to choose I would say my top 5 would be in this order Symphony Anthem Allure Adventure (my first cruise ever in my life was on Adventure and I've taken multiple cruises on this ship since) Freedom Why did you have to limit it to just five? texaskstar and foxrunner 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemy2419 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 I wish RC could see what cruisers put as their top 5. The one common theme is a few of the larger ships are popular but cruisers really like the smaller ships. I know that they want to pack the people onboard but would like them to come out with a new one for Voyager or Freedom class. That seems for us to be a nice balance of size and being able to not have to make reservations for the shows. rjweber3, texaskstar and Fuzzywuzzy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the smallest class of RC ship that you are willing to sail on? For me personally the smallest class I consider and actually sail on is Voyager Class which is still a fun ship.

I don't agree. Freedom and Voyager classes are my favorite, but I'd rather do a radiance or vision class than an oasis. They're just easier to get around and have a more relaxed atmosphere. What's more, the big ships offer pretty limited, uninspiring itineraries. Montemy2419, Fuzzywuzzy and texaskstar 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freegirl Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Allure, Harmony, Odyssey, Independence, Mariner Until the dreaded day that Allure and Harmony (& Liberty) finally do away with Sabor, they will remain at the top of my list.

Well, all the apps and the guac are so delicious that you almost don't need an entree! But, I usually get the shrimp tacos and yucca barrel fries with mango-habanero dipping sauce. The steak quesadilla is pretty tasty too. I'm not usually a margarita drinker, but I definitely make an exception for those jalapeno cucumber ones. Honestly, our favorite thing on the menu is the chicken stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon - they are amazing! OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, our favorite thing on the menu is the chicken stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon - they are amazing! Thanks. I agree with everything you wrote. When I said my family kept reordering apps it was mostly the chicken bacon jalapenos. I really don't care about my entree but I like to eat and try stuff so I have to order something. I got a burrito last time and it was very strange and unlike any burrito I've ever seen (not a good thing). I eat enough tacos on CocoCay and at El Loco Fresh on other ships (not shrimp of course) so I was just looking for something random. Funny you mention the yucca fries. My wife is very picky and doesn't actually eat Mexican food but she randomly tried yucca fries a long time ago and loves them. At Sabor she'll basically eat chips (no guac, lol, just chips), a plain cheese quesadilla, yucca fries, and she loved a couple of the desserts. The only reason I even got to try Sabor was because my wife's sister booked it for everyone on a family cruise last year. If you haven't tried it, since you like the margarita there, if you're on a ship with Playmakers, try the Goal Post margarita. It's jalapeño pineapple and I like it even more than the Sabor version.

rjweber3 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I really prefer the older, smaller ships. Better itineraries and Oasis Class seems SO SLOW! But then, I'm older too.

Fuzzywuzzy Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 1: Adventure. Our favorite at this time. Has everything we need for a great cruise. 2: Brilliance.
