deciding between 3 ships help!!!

[Cozzette2]

I am new to Carnival but the prices are so great and we are taking a bunch of first time cruisers from 20 - 40 years old plus my dh and myself 50-60. I love the prices and think more family will be able to join us at these rates.

I am looking at western Itineraries in Jan 2012

 

ships are:

Glory

Valor

Liberty

any personal preference?

From the reviews they all sound great and they are priced about the same.

Help please seasoned Carnival cruisers and thank you.

All things being equal on the pricing I would pick the Liberty over the other two ships. The interior of the ship is just so much nicer then the other two. It reminds me of an old time luxury liner.

I would go with Liberty. Simple fact that it is the newest of the three ships you mentioned. I have sailed the Liberty and it is a nice ship. Good luck and have fuN!

Thank you, Liberty was my first choice. I am excited to try Carnival, it looks like "A fun ship"

Of the 13 Carnival cruises we've done so far, our favorite of all was aboard the Glory. Don't ask me why, because ALL of them have been fantastic. We just loved the ship, the staff and everything about this ship.

 

We've sailed on Liberty as well and enjoyed her just as much! Can't say anything about Valor since we haven't been on her (yet) .

 

I would take Glory!

Not for nothing but If you are looking for a cruise for Jan 2012 you do not want to miss the Cruise Critic group cruise on the Miracle on Jan 29th We already have over 100 of the nicest cruiser in the world signed on to this one

 

Whatever you decide have a great time

I've sailed Valor (my 1st cruise, so she's special for that reason) and the Glory (my 1st cruise with my kids and extended famiyl, so she's special for THAT reason) and have Liberty up here in January 2011.

 

I agree with the other posters that said "something about the Glory" that made it extra special for us. Nothing special about the decor or anything else, it was just a blast.

 

Valor's decor was cool, except the MDR that looks like it's hosed with Pepto Bismol, but that made for lively conversation a few nights, LOL.

 

They're all so similar, I'd look at price and itinerary over each specific ship.

 

Good luck!

Glory if you are interested in a Serentiy Deck. Liberty does not have one yet.

 

I really liked where the hot tubs are located on the Liberty. They sit back away from the pool.

 

Besides that, they are pretty much the same. Decor means nothing to me when I cruise.

Thank you so much for all your helpful replies, I am excited to try Carnival, and I guess the ship will come down to itinerary. Thanks again, Kris

Glory is our favorite Carnival ship, especially for decor (with the exception of the garish theatre).

[kokopops]

How about a back to back to back cruise with all 3 ships?

We have sailed on the Valor & the Glory, but not the Liberty as of yet. We loved both ships. Found the atrium on the Valor so very patriotic & loved that. But I agree with the OP, I too absolutely loved the Glory for some reason. Not even sure why I do. I dont think you will go wrong with whichever one you chose. Do eeny, meeny, lol.
