momsbusy Posted February 14, 2009 #27 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Carnival is a great value for families. Also, there is something for everyone in the family. You know what they say, momma's happy when everybody's happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TahoeBob Posted February 14, 2009 #29 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Experienced and recent cruisers alike -- here's your shot to win Cheerleader Of The Year honors, so don't hold back! I have been on three RCI cruises and I am booked on my first Carnival this November. I keep hearing about the price thing and I would like to say this. If not for the low prices on carnival my only cruise this year would be down the Truckee river in my 8 foot personal rubber cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not for the low prices on carnival my only cruise this year would be down the Truckee river in my 8 foot personal rubber cruise ship.Well, out of Baltimore, RCCL and Celebrity each had some comparable cruises at more or less comparable prices, but we chose the Carnival cruise instead; not solely for price -- departure dates factored in as well.

cruz.n.carebear Posted February 14, 2009 #31 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I love waking up knowing that I won't have to cook anything, clean anything, go to a meeting or sit in traffic -- and that the hardest decision I'm going to have to make that day is which dessert I'm going to choose! And with Carnival...I'm doing it all without breaking the bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted February 14, 2009 #32 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Experienced and recent cruisers alike -- here's your shot to win Cheerleader Of The Year honors, so don't hold back! No need to be a cheerleader... the facts speak for themselves. Carnival consistently wins awards for the best entertainment at sea and for the best non-specialty dining food as well. I just got off the Carnival Fantasy for the John Heald's Bloggers Cruise. We had seven members of the press with us. They all specialized in cruising and all agreed about the food and entertainment. For me, I'd have to add the crew and staff. Simply walking about the ship you're constantly impressed by smiles, good mornings, hellos and warmth. Yeah... for me it's the crew and staff...

PunkinsDad Posted February 14, 2009 #34 Share Posted February 14, 2009 In no particular order The crew. We really enjoy meeting them and getting to know a little bit about them and where they come from. Some of them have the most interesting stories and backgrounds. The food!! Lots of it, and it's all good! Just being at sea. The ocean revitalizes my soul. No cooking, cleaning, work, meetings, email, phone calls.......total escape. Lots of different things to do. My DD calls it "never ending fun"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristi Williamson Posted February 14, 2009 #40 Share Posted February 14, 2009 For us, affordability certainly plays into our decision to cruise Carnival. I'd have to have some hard core empirical evidence that Oceania, Seaborne or even Disney were leaps and bounds above Carnival for me to pay their prices. I know the alcohol is included on two of those examples, but for Pete's sake...if you drank the difference in price, you couldn't possibly enjoy the cruise, right? :eek: Next, I'd say we've had consistently good food on Carnival. On RCI, and yes, even Celebrity, it's been more hit and miss. Can anyone name a dessert better than the chocolate melting cake?!?! LOL We also like that their staterooms are bigger than a closet. We had our first adjoining cabins on last year's Glory cruise. Now, we've got four kids, folks...it can get crowded!! But, when we'd open the adjoining doors, it was actually quite comfy. We never felt crowded and loved having two showers, 2 TV's, etc... But, if we'd been on any other line, the size of their cabins wouldn't have made that experience nearly as enjoyable. Lastly, we actually enjoy a little singing and dancing in the MDR. It lightens the mood a little and brings a little fun to a formal evening that can get stuffy, quickly, on other lines. I LOVE that Carnival passengers seem to get that what someone else is wearing really isn't their personal business nor does it have to adversely affect their cruising experience. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osprey101 Posted February 14, 2009 #41 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I don't quite know how to explain this one, but for me it's the FEELING. I feel like I belong, I'm welcomed, I'm part of an extended family. Been on 2 other cruise lines and they were OK, but that FEELING just wasn't there !! If Carnival could bottle that feeling they'd really make a fortune. Oh, yeah, and the "Kiss on the Lips"....to them I am totally addicted...even to the point of carrying the recipe around with me, trying to get bartenders to duplicate that taste...(some are good, but just not quite the same).

CruiserJul Posted February 14, 2009 #42 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I would say: The price, entertainment, 24 hr pizza, salad bar, and service. Also, the fact that they added the Baltimore port is a big plus in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQW Posted February 15, 2009 #43 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I've cruised Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Disney. Disney is in a class by itself for me because I have a 6yo and a 3yo, and nothing beats Disney for cruising with kidlets. Were it just me, I'd never cruise anything but Carnival again. I *loved* DCL, but it's not worth the difference in price. I can compare Carnival and Royal Caribbean directly, having sailed both for the same itinerary. Carnival had better food, better cabins, better bedding, better comedians, better piano bar, better shops, better activities, and better service overall. Really, it's a landslide. The only way RCI topped Carnival for me was stronger drinks and faster room service... EVERYTHING else was better on Carnival. I love Carnival. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *loved* DCL, but it's not worth the difference in price. We did Disney twice. The second was just a repeat of the first. Disney is a cruise with an extra layer of EVERYTHING DISNEY. And yes, you pay the Disney prices for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
