Which cruise would you pick for Winter Break '08?

Question

I am trying to pick between the Carnival Conquest, whatever RCI ship happens to be sailing out of Galveston, or a Disney cruise. What cruise should I take? I think my family is willing to go on a cruise that leaves from as far as Florida for the cruise. I will be in high school when we cruise so I need a ship with a good teen program.

Answer 1

I'm a fan of RCI so i say choose them. I went on a carnival cruise a couple of years ago and hated it. The ship was dated, and there weren't a lot of activities. Just recently I went on a RCI cruise and it was absolutely wonderful. They had a lot of activities, and from what I hear have a good kids and teen club. They have an ice skating rink, movie theater, rock climbing wall and a lot of fun classes. We ran into some carnival people at the different ports and they said their cruise was ok, but didn't have a lot of activities.

Answer 2

Carnival.  The Carnival Glory is my favorite ship.  IT sails out of Port Canaveral, and does a seven day Eastern Caribbean and a seven day Western Caribbean back to back.
