Need help with Carnival ships

[reality800]

I want to book a carnival cruise for the summer. I went on the fascination last winter and I liked the ship but this time I would like to go on a bigger one. Can anyone put the names of the bigger ships?? Also I belong to the crown and anchor program for royal caribbean and I get coupons for cruises all the time. Does carnival have anything like this that I could sign up for? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

the Carnival Conquest and Glory are the two biggest I know of. Each holding about 2974 passengers.

 

if you go to carnivals web site they have a list of "fun ships" you can get the details tehre that I can't remember.

Conquest class ships are the largest...Conquest,Glory, Valor, Liberty and in 2007 Freedom.

[MrPete]

The Valor and the Liberty are just as big.

 

The next in size are the Destiny, the Triumph, and the Victory.

 

Then below that are the 4 Spirit class ships; Spirit, Pride, Legend, and the Miracle, at 88,500 GWT

 

So you have 11 to choose from.

 

Work your way up, or work your way down.

I have been on 5 cruises two times on the Destiny...In my opinion that is the best ship. Going to try the Victory this year

Pete had it down pat. I was on the Valor in July and I am going on the Pride and Miracle in 2006. It will be the first time I have tried the spirit class. I have also been on the Destiny two times.

Previous posters nailed it.

 

Another thing that might help you is the fact that the (relatively) older, smaller ships (like the Fantasy class Fascination) are relegated to the three and four day cruises while the bigger ships ply the longer routes.

:) If you go to Carnival's website, you can view all the ships. www.carnival.com Also since you have cruised Carnival before, you should be receiving Currents Magazine. There are always Past Guest special coupons there. Your best bet is the website. ;)

Happy cruising,

Luv's Crusin'

Unfortunately, Carnival does not offer as nice of a past guest program as C&A, but they seem to be working on it.

Have been on the Spirit, Legend and Glory. Going on the Liberty soon.

We really liked the Spirit class. A little smaller than the Conquest Class but it seemed like the Spirit Class was roomier.

Actually the Destiny and Fantasy were great ships also.

For that matter, the Big Red Boat was nice too.

We haven't disliked any 'boat' we've been on, but prefer the Spirit Class.
