cruzeluver Posted March 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Vista or Horizon may fit the bill, or one of the Dream class (Dream, Magic, Breeze). These are Carnival's newest and most feature-filled. None are at the same level of amenities and "wow" factor of Oasis-class, but they are as close as you are going to get. We were on Magic last month and had a very good experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamericannn Posted March 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Vista is the Newest ship and by then Horizon will be. I would recommend the Breeze as it is a really nice ship and my favorite carnival ship. Edited March 24, 2017 by Jamericannn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaMommy75 Posted March 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I haven't been on the Vista or Horizon yet but have been on the Allure (Oasis class). We really loved the Breeze. My kids especially loved hanging out at the Sports Square and the Waterworks. If you prefer the biggest/newest ships I would stick to looking at Vista or Horizon but I wouldn't rule out the Breeze. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vista and the Horizon are newer but with the theater being downsized and the addition of more cabins I think you would be better served with the Breeze or Magic.

sunset785 Posted March 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have been on Oasis and then 3 years later went on the Magic. Loved both. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof4girls Posted April 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The Breeze is my first choice. Then the Magic. And finally the Dream. All wonderful ships! ETA: I would try connecting balcony rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted April 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The Breeze!!!! Such an awesome ship, and she's going into drydock soon, so it will be all new and shiny for you!!!!:') Honestly, there is just so much to do and the layout is just great, as is the décor. You will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted April 8, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2017 You will be in for a big let down OASIS vs anything Carnival has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted April 8, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Since your youngest is 10, you will not be able to stay in the Havana area on the Vista or Horizon because the requirements are 12+. With this being said, go on the Breeze. She is coming out of dry dock at the end of this month and she'll have all of the newer bells and whistles and be nice and spiffy. With the nice soft Caribbean hues instead of the over the top neon nonsense of the Joe Farcus ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
