Eastern!!! That isn't a concern, because I have never done any of the islands on that side. I just need a ship.

We've cruised all three of those ships, and they are so near the same that I don't think the ship (of these three) makes a lot of difference. However, having said that, I would choose Glory! Glory sails out of Port Canaveral, which I personally like better, than Miami. More importantly, once again in my opinion, Glory has the best food in the entire Carnival fleet. I don't know what it is, but it just seems to taste better than the others. I think the chef on Glory seasons everything more to my taste. In any case, you won't go wrong with any of these three. They are all excellent. Be sure to let us know which you book! (Price would figure into the selection for me too)

Luanne, it's truly my pleasure. You know,,,,you got me to thinking about these three ships. I'd forgotten to mention that of the three, Liberty is the most beautiful ship. She is really, really a classy, beautiful ship. I actually had the most fun aboard Valor,,,,however what's fun to me, read karaoke, might not mean anything to you. Once again,,,you won't go wrong with any of the three. Great cruises,,,,ALL.

Ken

P.S. I also forgot to mention that Liberty has the Movies under the Stars. The big screen at the main pool. That's pretty cool too!

I can tell you that the Valor is an awesome ship. And I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Sorry, Can't tell you about the Glory, or the Liberty as of Yet . Hopefully in Aug. 08 we'll be on the Liberty

Happy Sailing to all;
David

Luanne;
I have only been on the Glory from your list. I have only been on two cruises, but I found the Glory to be a "Friendly" ship. By this I mean to me it was easy to get around. The crew and food was fantastic, as were the accomidations. By the 2nd. day I knew my way around and how to avoid the crowds. We will do other ships as time go by. I agree with Ken , Port Canaveral is just a great port. I hope to do a BB on the Glory in about 6yrs. when I retire. Hey gotta have a goal. Enjoy whatever you decide.
Gary

I've only been on the Glory and Liberty. Both are outstanding the Glory's decor is more subdued and a little less glitzy than the Liberty. The food on the glory was somewhat better. I suppose you should base your choice based on the itinerary you prefer based on critics recommendations. I wouldn't hesitate to sail on either one again, but I must say If I could sail on only one
again, it would be the Glory.
