Carnival is very good for families with young kids and/or teenagers, not only because the atmosphere might be more fun for them, but also because 4 or 5 cruise fares on Carnival is much easier on the wallet than on Princess. Carnival is very good if you're on a budget or planning a quick getaway and don't want to spend a lot of money.

 

But to me, the biggest difference in atmosphere and clientele is the "party boat" experience. Carnival is branded as "The Fun Ships" and they definitely try to create a fun, party, carefree atmosphere. Take from that what you will. Sometimes it's harmless fun, sometimes it's people overindulging and creating a ruckus. 

Agree on this one completely.

QV is in Oslo today. Here is a view from the Port of Oslo's Kavringen webcam found at "www.oslohavn.no/no/meny/webkamera/". I think this is the only call to Oslo by a Cunard ship on the currently announced schedules through early 2024.

 

Thanks for the info. Would love to see the schedules

I didn't use it much to be honest
