Carnival, Norwegian, Royal or Disney

[ivanrocko]

My opinion after 11 cruises in 4 different cruise lines (Royal, Norwegian, Carnival, Disney):

1)Best cruise line: Royal Caribbean, but I think that Norwegian is really close to be the best (maybe the new Norwegian Escape). I think that Freestyle cruising is great, and NCL freestyle new ships offers a FREE: beverage package, dining package, onboard credit, stateroom gratuities, 3rd-4th guests sail free, or get all of them (based on your booking selection of stateroom). NCL offers great value plus best entertainment.

2)Best cruise ship design: Royal Caribbean - They look great from the outside, and on the inside an amazing Promenade.

3)Best Shows: Norwegian Epic (Blue Man Group, Legends, Cirque Dreams Dinner Show); and RC Liberty of the Seas (Encore: And Ice Spectacular Show; Saturday Night Fever Broadway Musical; and In the Air show).

Entertainment and Activities: RC Liberty of the Seas (Free World Premier 3D Movie, Parades, etc...)

4)Best Water Park: Carnival Breeze WaterWorks.

Best water slide: Norwegian Epic Plunge.

5)Best MDR Food: RC Liberty of the Seas.

6)Best Buffet: Carnival Breeze (Guy's Burger Joint, Blue Iguana Cantina, Mongolian Wok, Jimmy's C-side BBQ, Carnival Deli, etc...).

7)Best specialty restaurants: Norwegian.

8)Best Service: Royal Caribbean and Norwegian.

9)Best itinerary: RC Adventure of the Seas (Southern Caribbean)

10)Best children's program: RC Independence of the Seas (Adventure Ocean) has best staff, kids parade & talent show.

11)Best cruise for kids: Disney Dream (Disney Character Greetings, Broadway Disney Shows, themed Restaurants, Fireworks at sea, themed parties, etc...)

12)Best staterooms: Disney Dream.

13)Best included in the cost of your cruise: Disney Cruises - Complimentary: 24-hour room service; On-demand television and in-room movies; and complimentary soda, tea and coffee on deck and in the dining rooms.

14)Best live music and DJs: Norwegian.
