We have been on many carnival ships. We always have fun. Royal is definitely a step up. Carnival is like Walmart. You will see things that you really don’t want to see with guest. Oh it’s great people watching for sure. Shows are not near as good as royal. Would we go on carnival again? Sure. So many more food options on carnival, that’s one thing I love. It’s definitely a fun time.
Royal is a little classier. Not as many drunks or people in bathing suits that are 9 times too small. Royal can be fun but carnival puts fun to another level. Their staff really makes great parties. I am sure people will tell me how wrong I am to talk about guest but it’s so true with Carnival. It can be like going to Walmart in the middle of the night. PJs and Curlers in hair, you name it you will see it on carnival.
