Carnival Ship Comparison Spreadsheet

[Methosage]

One more thing for your spreadsheet. I am sailing on the Legend on March 2nd so I have been following what is happing to the Legend. The Legend is heading to dry dock in 4 days. So if you want to update the spreadsheet with the improvements (since the next cruise will have them) here is the information on the improvements as posted by John Heald (posted on his Facebook jan 10 and I think he may have also posted this on his blog)

 

"Legend. She will be in dry dock from February 2nd - February 16th. Here is a list of what she will receive.

 

Water Park , Green thunder Slide – same as Carnival Spirit

Bonsai Sushi Bar on the starboard side of the atrium

Cherry on Top

Red Frog Pub - this will be where Satchmos is now on deck 3 forward

Casino will be reconfigured and new machines etc added

Upgrades to the Gym equipment...

Upgrades to the Spa treatment rooms

Draft Beer systems added to various bars and lounges

2 New Shows including the brilliant Epic Rock

Hasbro the Game Show

Pool area gets new decking etc.

Hi all,

 

Although this is my first post, I have been reading threads here for quite a while and have found this website to be extremely useful for cruise planning. Since your insight and reviews have helped me so much, I thought I would share this spreadsheet I put together for relatively easy, at-a-glance comparison of all of the Carnival ships and their amenities.

 

Can't live without Guys burgers? Want to avoid ships with Playlist Productions like the plague? Forgot which ships have converted to the American Table/Feast MDR menu? Would love to pick a ship with no blaring Jumbotron and that has a pool in the Serenity area? Hopefully some of you will find this spreadsheet helpful for these type of questions and more...

 

I would love to have your feedback and any suggestions for changes, improvements or corrections.

 

Please note that I have saved the spreadsheet in an older format so that users of Excel 2000 and above (or an alternate viewer) should be able to open it without any problems. Also, due to the size of each row, this will NOT be printout-friendly.

 

THANKS!!! This is pretty awesome.

Thanks Fedic and Methosage. I'm glad to have both these documents.

Love the spreadsheet......I made one to compare the three ships I was considering for our reunion cruise........

 

Pools were important to us on ship........We have a good group of children in our party....2-17 - I really like when there are separate areas for them to enjoy a pool or water works area (appreciate notes on which ships have waterworks).

 

I like that you included which serenity areas included a pool.....that's one adult pool.......also when a spa includes a pool....another adult pool......when the main pool is the ONLY other pool my kids end up sharing the area with the hairy chest, limbo, horse race, etc crowd - I like it as much as the adults appreciate the fact that my kids have somewhere else - a pool/hot tub to enjoy.

 

We decided on the Splendor...(haven't sailed yet)......due to cost (honestly a major consideration) - but it does have at least 2 other pools (one in the center of the ship and one by the large slide) in addition to the adult pool aft, and the small adult spa pool. The Splendor also has a "small" water works play area.....probably more suited to the under 6 group.......but I think my family will appreciate it! - - it just provides more room to spread out and provide different ages a separate area.

One more addition......

 

I believe the Fascination will be starting the Seaday Brunch in February

Nice job! I added filters to row 2, and in no time flat, I could narrow down my next choice of ships; starting with those that do not have a seaside theatre!

[azjim66]

What about adding the home port of each ship? just a thought.. it is very helpful "as is"

[doctordi]

[MuffyKismet]

Both are awesome, thanks!!! So what exactly is the Suess experience going to be??? I am sure related to kids and Dr Suess, does anyone have more info

[Trvlr37]

Thanks sooo much for posting! Very useful! We're going on the Dream next and I noticed that the spreadsheet says it does not have a T-pool. I was looking at the deckplans and saw it on Deck 12? Is it really there??? Thanks!

Hi Fedic,

 

That is great...thank you for your effort. Incase anyone wants something to go along with your spreadsheet here is a PDF showing the ships by listed by class (it's pretty to look at...even makes a nice desktop wallpaper ;-)

 

Nice! Thanks for adding that!
