ImmortalxKiss Posted October 3, 2010 Author #26 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks for the review! We are sailing on it later this month. No afternoon tea would be a bummer. :eek: RCI ships usually do it in the Windjammer from 3pm to 5pm. Heading over to check out the pics now :) The tea time on Carnival was like an activity. You went into a lounge, had tea and little pastries.. so tasty!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Grandeur they didn't call it afternoon tea, in the Compass it is listed as "Afternoon Snack Service" 3:30-5:00pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yj2cute Posted October 4, 2010 #35 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have a question. Which line will you book next? Do you have a preference between the 2 now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye State Cruisers Posted October 4, 2010 #36 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I noticed that you had the loving cups, after dinner drinks, do you happen to remember what they cost? and do come around and ask or should you ask your server? thanks for the great review and if you really want to be impressed try a larger ship. Freedom class is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalxKiss Posted October 4, 2010 Author #37 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have a question. Which line will you book next? Do you have a preference between the 2 now? This is a hard question, one I don't think we have narrowed down yet ..lol. We really do think RCCL is pulling ahead which is shocking because we have cruised more with Carnival. We just really liked the differences Royal had, we thought it made the experience better. For me though, I find Carnival's MDR food better ..but it's not ALL about the food, so it's really hard. I noticed that you had the loving cups, after dinner drinks, do you happen to remember what they cost? and do come around and ask or should you ask your server? thanks for the great review and if you really want to be impressed try a larger ship. Freedom class is awesome. I believe the one that we had was either $6 or $7 ..I can't remember which but it wasn't more then that. Someone came around, that wasn't our server, asking us if we wanted them and explaining what exactly they were. We have actually been looking at Oasis! And mind you, this is after we said we weren't going to cruise next year because we did 3 of them in 10 months lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrod Posted October 4, 2010 #38 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks for the review and your link to the pictures. I always enjoy pictures of the interiors of different ships. After all, cruise ships are a destination in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvscruising2007 Posted October 7, 2010 #45 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I enjoyed your pics. They are always the best part of a review. I have only taken one Carnival cruise and 5 RCL cruises. I have to agree with most of your observations. We overall prefer RCL, but we would consider another Carnival cruise. The differences are really minor for the most part. The thing I disliked most about Carnival was the buffet area. As you said, WJ has more options and a much better layout. Thank you for sharing your experience.
