I think any cruise is as fun as you want to make it. I don't know you will have more fun on Carnival it's more about you. If you are a fun person and like to get out and meet people and participate any cruise will be fun. If you enjoy being quiet and sitting by yourself and reading any cruise will be for you. I don't think it's really the cruise line at all it the passengers. For me I am very low key and have worked hard all my life to get where I am. I have been on 30 Carnival cruises and have loved every one of them. I won't say we have never had any issues come up but it's all how you handle the issues and take things that make the cruise. We have friends that are mostly RC fans, so we do not cruise too often together. We have tried several times but I am too cheap to pay an extra $800 - $1600 dollars to go to the same places. I do think RC has bigger ships (I'm not a fan of big ships) and they offer things I would not do like rock climbing or ice skating, so those things don't mean anything to me. I will say Carnival has great food for me and I'm sure the other cruise lines do as well but for me if it's not broke don't fix it. When I put my first group cruise together in 2006 one of the people going mentioned Carnival is ok but they do not offer white glove service this is one of the main reasons I love Carnival. The staff is very friendly and polite. We like to talk to them and get to know them a little bit and hear their story. I have no idea if it is the same on other cruise lines or not. So enjoy your cruise and make it one of your favorite vacations you have ever been on.
