I'm not a fan of Carnival, but from the deck plans I have viewed, triumph is the best.

i liked carnival a lot.. i just didnt meet amazing people on it.

i've been on miracle. and i wanna go on spirit. so what one is that so i can vote?

[KayleighCheyenne]

I didn't vote because so far I like the layout of the Glory... But I have been on the Pride and liked it but...

[girl_next_door]

i think legend is the same catergory as miracle. so voted for that.

Wait a second! Did someone who hasn't traveled on a Carnival ship say that they don't like Carnival?!?! hahaha.....

And I have no desire to ever do so, buddy. It depends what you are looking for. I like less obnoxious cruise lines.

[girl_next_door]

if you've never been on it.. how do you know?

i didnt like carnival until i went on it.

From their advertisements and everything I've read about them. If I think Royal Caribbean is too mainstream, I certainly won't like Carnival.

Just because it is called a "fun" ship doesn't mean that you have to join in on the fun. Carnival will let you sit in a corner with a book all alone in the dark if you want, but most people on vaca want to meet and mingle, gamble a little, shop, party, and have fun! I'm not saying you have to party or drink or gamble (because I certainly don't drink or gamble, lol) but there is something for everyone onboard. And if you haven't ever been you cannot say that you wouldn't like it. Being a teen, I like Carnival because I know that there are plenty of other people my age. I am looking for a good time and always find it on Carnival ships, but that's just me. Don't discredit something you haven't experienced for yourself.

eagleclass....what cruise line is your favorite?? and what do you love most about cruising?

[girl_next_door]

i'm glad i tried it. cuz now i know i like it. i always thought it looked to PARTY PARTY PARTY! but it really wasnt. it was just a normal cruise line.

I've been obsessed with cruise ships ever since I took my first cruise in 1998. The idea of an enormous self-sufficient resort at sea fascinates me, from the construction, marketing, and hotel management. It used to be about partying and drinking. I'm 18 and I just enjoy being at sea on a luxurious cruise ship. It’s the closet thing to heaven (even though I know I’m enjoying myself at the expense of the underpaid and overworked crew from 3rd world countries). I've seen places of the world that my family would have never traveled to, like Dakar, Senegal and the Canary Islands.

Celebrity will always have a special place in my heart because I interned at the corporate headquarters in Miami. Maybe I'm spoiled but Royal Caribbean just doesn't appeal to me anymore.... I love their ships, but the product is too mainstream. With my 30th cruise in March, the idea of a 7-night Caribbean cruise to Labadee and Ocho Rios just seems too cliché. So I shouldn't say Carnival is "the worst". It just depends what you are looking for.

Crystal is an absolutely phenomenal cruise line. The Crystal Symphony is my favorite cruise ship. It’s large yet the food is gourmet and the service is five stars. There are always young people onboard during vacation times. And of course, the QM2 is always a fun ship to go on.

[girl_next_door]

how often do you cruise?! if you only started to go in 1998..

[lsclaf26]

wow your 30th cruise!! you must have been cruising forever. yeah i love celebrity too. the food, ships and service are amazing.

[girl_next_door]

wow i started cruising before him and i havent been on nearly 30 cruises. thats crazyyyy! im way jealous!

[lsclaf26]

i no me too! we just need to start cruing like 5 times a year then we can catch up! ahhh i wish..

[GYMNASTQUEENVAL]

I have only been cruising 5 yrs and have gone on 16 cruises too. My grandparents usually book B2B (back to back cruises) that way we save on airfare and go for 2 weeks. I was home schooled while I was a gymnast, so time didn't matter. Now that I am in Public School, we are only allowed off 10 days during our whole High School tenure. But we will have to cruise more summer months. We are doing a B2B ob the Liberty in June and a B2B on the Crown in Aug. I am so fortunate to have Great grandparents. If I lived with my mom, I wouldn't get out of the town I live in. I have lived with my GP since I was 5 yrs old, and love them dearly.

[lsclaf26]

aww thats awesomeee you have amazing grandparetns! back to back cruises would be awesome. youd get to meet 2 sets of amazing friends on the same boat!

[GYMNASTQUEENVAL]

Oh a for Carnival Ships, I have only been on the Legend, and the Ship itself is beautiful. I just didn't care for the pax and the way they were unruly and nothing was done about it. Had a bad experience and I have no desire to ever cruise with them again!

We used to go 6-7 times a year. But in 2005 and 2006 we just went 3 times a year but on longer cruises (12/14-nights). Cruises just go by so fast. I went on the QM2 for 17-nights and even that went by fast! I doubt I'll be going on as many cruises in college, but it really never gets old. Every trip is unique in its own way.

[Kristina99]

eagle..how come you cruise so much? do youre parents just love it to death and have that much extra cash? what do they do? cuz i think i want to do that haha.

My parents love it, my sister loves it, I love it. It's better than most land trips.... makes everyone happy. They are successful and are willing to spend money on cruises!

[Kristina99]

I hope i grow up to be like your parents!!!! lol.

I love it too! and so do my parents..my sisters are too young to remember but they love it too..but like its hard to get away we have too many animals!! (horses!)
