YankeeFan4Ever Posted January 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Although we prefer NCL overall, my wife and I will continue to cruise on Carnival for the following 3 reasons: 1 - Comedy shows (adult R-rated of course) 2 - Half Moon Cay (paradise on earth) 3 - Cheap prices (good vacation value) What are your top 3 reasons for remaining loyal to Carnival?

michelle1836 Posted January 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2014 great staff never had a bad cruise or reason to cruise another line good value for price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMisplacedCNuck Posted January 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We aren't loyal to Carnival, we cruise other lines also, but in Carnival's favor: 1 the pace on the ships seems to suit us better than the other lines we've been on 2 we haven't had a bad cruise on Carnival 3 Carnival tends to have the lowest available cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantfan13 Posted January 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Great prices Excellent value for the money Did I already say lowest prices for a good cruise, anywhere around. Oh yea, the food is good, and the service is excellent Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulabelle522 Posted January 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1- Price is always right for our family of four 2-Cruise line selection is pitiful on the West Coast but Carnival has never done us wrong 3- past guest and resident rates can't be beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcwingwalker Posted January 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sorry but my loyalty goes to the itinerary and price, but have always appreciated the good service we have received from CCL.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted January 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We have done our last 20 or so cruises on carnival but after one next month we will try Princess. After that we will consider our options but why would you have loyalty to Carnival? Have always enjoyed ourselves but now is time to play the field.

CSTECH Posted January 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Platinum Price use to be the available cruises from the north east but now that they are pulling out of there I'm not sure.... :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted January 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I would love to try another line and look forward to doing so. I don't see how I would be unhappy no matter who I cruised with. I'm aiming for Royal or Norweigan one day. Disney is out of my consideration anymore for various reasons. I've remained loyal to Carnival because of their pricing, fun loving and friendly shipmates, and the variety of ship and sailing options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gay head Posted January 22, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I like Carnival because I think you get lot for the price.I like the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies that you can buy, the serenity deck on a sea day, the sea day barbeque, the beds and bedding are so comfortable, the shows, the library,, the fact that they sell clinique products so I do not panic if I forget something.I think the staff is great and eager to please and it is fun.I think Carnival gets a bad rap.All my experiences have been great.

Butterbean1000 Posted January 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2014 We have never had a bad cruise with Carnival. I'm not saying we won't try another line if the price is right. For now, we're good. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiling Cruiser Posted January 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Never had a bad cruise on Carnival. We have cruised the competitors but Carnival still gets our vote. We like the ports, the staff, and the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldlewis45 Posted January 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1. Cheap 2. Cheap 3. Cheap In my (admittedly limited) experience, most of the mass-market lines are pretty darn similar. First consideration is itinerary, and then I'm going to go with whatever's cheapest, since I usually sail solo. Usually, that's Carnival, but not every time. I do wish they'd add a Bermuda cruise, though, since I'm getting very tired of Nassau and Freeport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted January 22, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Besides being very convenient for west coast driving to port , and having really reasonable prices, we really like the informality of Carnival! We have tried other lines and we can afford higher prices but we don't like having to dress up(read husband won't wear jacket/tie etc. on vacation) in order to dine in the MDR. For us that is a really big deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTravelista Posted January 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) There's really only one thing, Carnival's Lido options are unsurpassed. Especially on the newer ships. No one else will offer two regular buffets AND freshly grilled burgers (Guy's Burgers or the regular grill) AND freshly made burritos and tacos (Blue Iguana Cantina) AND delicious authentic Indian food (Tandoor) AND freshly made stir fry (Mongolian Wok) AND fresh made to order sandwiches (Deli) AND freshly tossed pasta with an ARRAY of toppings (Pasta Bar, some ships have the Rotisserie or Fish & Chips) AND pizza and ice cream available 24 hours. Even the new pay for options are inspired (Red Frog Pub, which I'm obsessed with, JiJi Asian Kitchen, Cucina del Capitano, and Bonsai Sushi). The Steakhouse is one of, if not the best across all lines. Carnival does pretty well when it comes to food. Posting this actually made me kind of sad. If only Carnival would get their entertainment together and push the envelope just a little bit in terms of innovation, I wouldn't have to sail other lines Edited January 23, 2014 by TheTravelista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
