Rare Keith1010 Posted October 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This is what I would do. Figure out what itinerary you would like to sail. That will help you to narrow this down to a sub-set of Carnival Ships. From there in addition to visiting the Carnival Board go to the member review section of Cruise Critic to read reviews from people who have sailed on the ship(s) you are considering.

dorisis Posted October 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Carnival ships leave from many ports. Do you live nearer the east or west coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted October 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2015 What port or ports do you want to sail out of? Will you fly or drive to the port? Answering those questions can help narrow it down. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&acruisin Posted October 22, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Driving and thinking Miami but not set in stone. We are closer to east . I'm in indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted October 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you're driving to Miami, also consider nearby Ft. Lauderdale. Much easier to navigate than Miami, IMO. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&acruisin Posted October 22, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thank you I will look into that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted October 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 24, 2015 We tend to cruise out of Florida. When you live in a city with seasonal weather and only have the warmth for a few months, we look forward to traveling out of Florida and making it a big vacation either before or after we cruise. See what meet your needs with the cost of air-fare and such. Good luck Enjoy cruising we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiifrank Posted October 25, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Driving and thinking Miami but not set in stone. We are closer to east . I'm in indiana Don't forget Galveston! That's just about the same distance as Fort Lauderdale and New Orleans is probably even a little closer. Both Galveston and New Orleans have Carnival ships and as a bonus are much closer to many Caribbean ports and no farther from your home. Galveston gets the Breeze in May 2016 too. We will be on the Breeze for a b2b in Nov/Dec 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&acruisin Posted October 25, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I talked to a lady from carnival. And she mentioned Galveston's breeze. Which looks awesome just hoping my daughters winter break will allow us to go at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
