Thread: Favorite cruise ships

For everyone who has sailed on more than one ship: Which ship is your favorite? Why do you like that one the most?

So far, out of 41 cruises, I would have to say the Celebrity Eclipse. Absolutely wonderful!

Celebrity Silhouette , so different form the rest , decor, design , layout ,activities you name it

We have been on 36 different ships and our favorite, from the first time we sailed on it, has been the Radiance of the Seas. I do have to also add her sister the Serenade of the Seas and later this year I am sure I will include the Jewel of the Seas when we sail on her. The Radiance class is a good balance of traditional ship design with modern additions. We have enjoyed some of the bigger ships but overall we enjoy the size and design of the Radiance.

If the Silhouette is totally unlike her sisters, she obviously has the wrong name. A silhouette is a shadow form of something.

But who ever heard of the marketing arm of any organization letting reality affect their decisions?

Actually, the Silhouette is not totally unlike her sisters.

I've not yet been on her, but can't wait to see it. I did an online webinar for travel agents with Celebrity and they explained the similarities and the differences. While it is a little different and offers some new features, it is more similar than dissimilar when you compare it to the other Solstice-class ships.

My favorite(s) are any of the Solstice class ships!

We have sailed on 3 of the 5 Solstice class ships (for a total of 66 days, so far) and look forward to sailing on the other 2!

They are beautiful and laid out well. It's easy to find your way around without getting turned around.

I thought the Golden Princess was a great ship. It has the piazza with the International Cafe, which I describe as a "display case of yumminess." Lots of venues for music and other activities. Not too big. (at least compared to newer ships, it's under 115,000 gt)

Andrea, when Tony wrote that he didn't use the term "sister" so I am assuming that he meant the other classes of Celebrity ships. He was on Infinity last year which is very different from the Silhouette that he just got off of.
