Which Cruise Line is Better? Carnival or Royal Caribbean?

Ive done 13 carnival cruises and 1 royal carribean. I agree with everyone else in saying that carnival is the way to go. Some of the newly refurbished ships even have an adult only deck so you dont have to worry about the little kids either. if it has the upgraded water slides you wont see the kids anywhere but there. Just dont go on a cruise when school is out.

Alexa is wrong inside cabins are not always at the bottom of the ship most upper decks have inside cabins too. the bottom decks are kept for crew and storage. Yes you CAN get a stateroom on a lower deck but certainly not the bottom of the boat... Take a look at some of the ships on their web sites.
If you re looking just to "party" Then Carnival Should be your choice, but, if you are looking for the "ultimate" Cruising experience choose Royal Caribbean cruise line, their ships are exquisit, and you will be treated like royalty by all the staff ( So long as you are not crazy drunks with no idea how to act in public) You will love cruising. it's fun and relaxing, and when you think about the prices you pay for everything you could NOT have a holiday in a 5 star hotel anywhere in the world and eat the amount of food and do all the extra things you can do on a Cruise ship, for the same amount of money, AND get to travel the world. Happy Cruising.

I have been on 2 Carnival Cruise, I don't understand why everyone saids it is the party cruise. I'm not much of a partier and I have had a great time. I guess if you drink alot you can find that on either ship. I have not been on RC because I hear it is more expensive and I have checked the price and it is. I would check with a travel agent, and maybe friends that have gone. But my experience, Carnival is great, a mixture of people and alot to do. Have a great time no matter which one you choose.

If you are looking to save money Carnival is the way to go. They are usually cheaper than Royal Caribbean and they are more known for the party scene. If you would like some assistance I would love to help. Just e-mail me sweetescapes_traval@yahoo.com

royal is more expensive
and its more fancy
carnival is know for 'drunks and little kids'

but i just got off a carnival and i actually had a lot of fun
the people who were drunk always sang in karaoke and it was hilarious
im going to try a royal cruise in a few monthes
but i was happy with carnival

and if you're going in jan.
most kids will be in school so you really won't have to worry about too many little kids

but i disagree with the first post
inner rooms are closer to the bottom of the ship
thats where the waves are hitting the hardest and it gets you so much sicker and its much rockier
i would pay the extra money and not get sick
its not that much more to get a balcony on the off season which is jan

Elle Z is right. Carnival is great.

Carnival is less expensive, and a lot better for people who don't have a lot of money and like to have fun. RCL is better for rich stuck up people.

Carnival has so much more to do. The shows are like your sitting at a show in vegas. Personally, i like carnival better.
