After seeing a lot of the horror stories, how do people rate the Venezia as compared to older Carnival ships as well as the New York terminal? Do you think it will be better next year? Looking to schedule a cruise next year and the Sunshine has a similar itinerary out of Charleston for similar prices. I know newer is normally better but I am questioning this one as I am planning to take my parents on their first cruise. Thoughts? 

Elation it is. Already booked with FTTF and an excursion in Nassau. This is our second cruise. We sailed on the Sunshine out of Norfolk earlier this year. Looking forward to this next trip.

Hello everyone,

I am looking to schedule a cruise out of Florida in May. I am looking at both the Elation and Liberty. I will be traveling with my DW and two daughters (14 and 18). I know the Elation recently came out of the dry dock with upgrades. I have also seen that the Liberty tends to have better reviews. The Elation will be only $130 more total trip cost for the extra day for an interior room. The Elation is out of Jacksonville and will visit Nassau and Half Moon Cay. The Liberty is out of Port Canaveral and visits Nassau and Princess Cay. Which would you do? Is the Liberty that much better than the Elation? Thanks in advance.
