Is there a 5 star ship?

[LiveLoveCruise]

I'm excited about my first time on Carnival. But, do they have a 5 star ship? If not, which would you consider to be the best ship?

I know, I know, I know... every ship is great. It's what you make it.

But, I kinda want a couple of straight opinions.

Thanks in advance!

What do you consider a 5-Star ship?

[Maxax]

That's really a subjective question...and opinions will vary. I have not been on either of Carnival's two newest ships...the Dream or the Splendor...so I can't comment on them. But I have been on several Conquest Class and Spirit Class....and I have to say that I like the Conquest Class ships best! But then again...like I said...this is a very subjective question and the answers will probably vary!

Just remember ... even the nicest Holiday Inn is still only a 3 star hotel.

You'll only get opinions, which is really what CC is all about. If you truly want "5 star" you had better look at Seabourne or perhaps Oceania. However, since we are just common folk, we have found, up to this point, that The Legend is our "5 star" CCL ship. We found the ship size and lay out to be perfect, for us, and the staff service, food, and general atmosphere on the ship to be superb!

Or Crystal, Silversea, or Windstar

I look to see where the Spirit Class ships are going first for ports. You can't beat the aft wraps on this class

[glrounds]

Or Crystal, Silversea, or Windstar

 

I would put Cunard in that class also (Carnival owned).

Carnival is a 5-star in the "Best Bang for the Buck" category. :D

Yep. That's another one. I totally forgot about that one.

I'm "common folk" also. I'm checking into finding out which ships contain more than the others. Themed restaurants, flowriders, bowling alleys, etc... I'm not really referring to decor and such.

Flowriders = RCCL

Bowling Alley = NCL

 

Carnival ships neither of those.

[gtalum]

Carnival is in no way a "5-star" line (unless you're on a scale of 10 maybe). The "best ship" is too subjective for anyone to tell you.

[firefly333]

If you are talking about public ratings, no Carnival doesnt have 5 star ships ... nor a 5 star price.

[LHP]

Of all the Carnival ships...I like the Spirit Class the best...

 

(Legend, Pride, Spirit and Miracle)

 

Individual ships however....I liked the Splendor the best. Love the Spa cabins.

IMHO anyone who asks for a 5 star cruise ship is not looking for Carnival.

Or RCI, Celebrity, Princess, HAL, NCL, Costa

You're in the wrong section lol...check out Royal Caribbean and NCL.

[gtalum]

Or RCI, Celebrity, Princess, HAL, NCL, Costa

 

Agreed. RCI, Carnival, and NCL are about the same. HAL and Princess maybe a half step up. For 5 star, you really need to look at Regent, Silversea, or Seabourn.

Or charter your own yacht.

You guys are nuts...

I just meant a ship that has been rated 5 star. We've sailed Royal and they have a few. But, I want to hang with the Carnival crowd.

 

I definately want to go Carnival... Just want the most "bang" that they have to offer. KWIM?:D

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

For Carnival it is the Dream

Look into the Carnival Dream and the Carnival Magic.
