1)What is your Favorite Ship you have cruised on?? and why??
2)What ship are you Really wanting to cruise on?? and why??
Thanks in advance for your response.
A cruise I want to go on is the Voyager. I guess I'm a sucker for all the hype it's getting. My dream cruise though is Crystal Symphony. My parents travel on Crystal alot and they love it. I don't have a problem with it's formal atmosphere and I like the slower pace. I'm not into party cruises.
I'd probably really like to try the Norway, but my mom, who was on her in '92 and is my travel agent, warns against it. I've got similar feelings for the QE2, with similar cautions from various people.
From what I can see by way of the 360-degree IPIX tours, I have a feeling that I could quickly fall in love with the Sun Princess. There's really classy decor on board here, and she's not too shabby on the outside either.

I've toured both the SS Norway and QE2 (not Cruised them). In terms of charm and decore the Norway wins hands down! I think the Queen Mary is my number one, but unfortunately she does not leave port!
Unfortunately, the ships that I would like to Cruise on the most, do not do the itineraries I like.
I can't wait to go on the Nieuw Amsterdam when it becomes an American Hawaii ship.

It looks like the SS Norway (Ex France) is one of the winners! Ship builders take note, the old girl is still beating the new pretenders.
Will Voyager, Grand, and Destiny etc still be around in 30 years time?
Right now I am saving up for next year, when I hope to get a berth on the snazzy little M/V COLUMBUS when she does the Great Lakes next summer. I HAVE to take a cruise before I get too old. As far as my favorite, I can only tell you from the pics I have seen of the NORMANDIE and EMPRESS OF BRITAIN, and I would have loved to have traveled on one of those...as for modern ships, I dig the NORWAY, but wish they had not built those two extra decks - it looks weird.
I live and work in Philadelphia, and from my office window, I can see the UNITED STATES at Columbus Pier in South Philly. I drove over there last year to get a closer look, and I actually felt like crying. It is a sad sight, and I think she should be put out of her misery. Give her a Viking funeral and sink her whole, rather than a humiliating end in a scrapyard.
I have always loved passenger liners, but always from afar. I hope to change that...

I would like to cruise on MS TARAS SHEVCHENKO, MS IVAN FRANKO, TS FYODOR SHALYAPIN or MS GRUZIYA
The Zenith would be a close second, and the Costa Romantica third. All have been great; but some a little better than others.
Am anxious to cruise on the Celebrity Mercury or Galaxy.
