Has to be Icon of the Seas due to the innovation! However, I like all cruise ships to be honest!

@Emrys I don't think you can go wrong with Icon of the Seas!

It does have the largest waterpark at sea!

@Kendall James-VargasI loved cruising on Navigator of the Seas! I'm sure it's even better since undergoing it's multimillion dollar refit in December 2018. I haven't been on since 2016, but it was the perfectly designed ship and size in my opinion.

@3Sisters There were so many additions made to the Navigator of the Seas not long ago! Here are some updated things to do while onboard the renovated ship. https://www.cruisehive.com/best-things-to-do-on-royal-caribbeans-navigator-of-the-seas/38576

@3Sisters in what way in your opinion is Navigator of the Seas a great ship. I'm intrigued on what to expect as I've never stepped foot on a ship but wondering what to expect?

@PaulB Navigator of the Seas had so much to do! I love the rock climbing wall and the ice skating rink. Since its recent remodel, the ship has even more to offer. The FlowRider simulator was so fun. It's not easy though. Do you enjoy outdoor activities such as the FlowRider?

@3SistersI can picture the scene. Flowrider looking out to the views of the big blue ocean

@PaulB Have you been on a simulator like that before? It can be really tricky! Most people fall off pretty quickly their first few tries. At least it's soft so it doesn't hurt too bad. I haven't managed over 60 seconds upright yet.

@3Sisters The rock climbing wall is intense!

@Kendall James-Vargas Do you know if all Royal Caribbean ships offer a rock climbing wall onboard? I found the the new Icon of the Seas will have it, but I am not sure about the other ships. 

[Kendall James-Vargas]

When I first cruised with the line I don't think all ships had a rock climbing wall, but it has since changed. All of the line's ships now offer a rock climbing wall and some even offer two climbing walls! It is a complimentary activity, but guests must be at least six years of age to participate.

I'm tempted to say Allure of the Seas may end up being my absolute new favorite after its $100 million upgrade! Allure of the Seas is a classic and now with all of these projected upgrades, it's going to be a hit! Essentially, after this upgrade, Allure of the Seas will become a seemingly new ship. From bars to slides to restaurants, Allure of the Seas will enter the European 2025 cruise season as a local favorite. What do you think?

[3Sisters]

Wow, that Allure of the Seas upgrade is going to massively change the ship, for the better! I actually thought the ship was fine before, but it's going to be better than ever with these new additions. The only sad part is that the ship will be out of commission for a bit of time. Splashaway Bay is going to be so attractive to guests. I happen to think that, plus Wipe Out Bar, will totally be a hit amongst families that will cruise with their children.
