Answer 3

Royal Caribbean = 5

Carnival = 2

I went on Carnival Victory to Canada and Royal Caribbean's Sovereign of the Seas (both in the Summer).

Long story short, Royal Caribbean was great. I had fun on Carnival, but it was pretty bad compared to other cruise lines. There is even a joke on other cruise lines that Carnival is "Cannibal".

Answer 4

I have been on Carnival 16 times and RRCL 10....Carnival is better for me when I get a balcony for my wife and I....RCCL has more things like rock climbing, ice scating, even surfing, but they usually cost a whole lot more. Don't take RCCL if the ship is older than 5 years.
