CRLAUMAN Posted April 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I need help deciding which ship. I do like a nice stateroom. Any suggestins from someone who has been on both?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzaloo Posted April 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I have been on both. I was on Explorer in May 2006 (so it's been awhile) and Glory last March. I prefer the Explorer because I think the ship on a whole is just more impressive. RC decor tends to be a little more refined and classy IMHO. I am not a fan of the layouts of Carnival ships, I think they are a little more difficult to navigate. Explorer has the rock climbing wall, flowrider and ice skating rink; Glory has the waterslide. However, if rooms are the most important to you, Carnival does tend to have larger cabins. I think the cabin decor on both ships is comparable. And in my experience, food and service are comparable on both ships as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted April 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Explorer will be more WOW, the ship is gorgeous. Carnival doesnt do WOW, but the cheaper cabins are larger, insides and OVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted April 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'd choose the Carnival Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted April 18, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2011 They're both nice ships; they're just different. What other criteria are you using? Length of cruise? destinations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted April 18, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I would choose Explorer. I prefer RCI's ships to Carnival because they have a better layout, more things to do onboard, and superior service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzaloo Posted April 18, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2011 There is no flowrider on the Explorer... Oops - I thought there was. It's been a few years since I was on it :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
