silverbutterfly Posted January 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We are ready to book! We are looking at a western caribbean itinerary. We have 3 kids (ages 9, 12, 14). Looking for the ship that will be the most fun for them and I love food. That's pretty much all we care about. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted January 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Take a look at this thread asking about sister ships to Magic and Freedom. Specifically, take a look at post #7 showing the main pool areas. The difference is pretty shocking. http://www.boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2303294 These 2 ships hold about the same number of passengers, yet Freedom Class is considerably larger than Magic (Dream Class).

t_car Posted January 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The ships are comparable somewhat. However food is slightly better on Royal, but much better when it comes to activities offered for all, especially your kids' ages. Royal - skating ring with shows, flowrider surf simulator, rock climbing wall Carnival - none of the above Both lines have good programs for kids of those ages to get involved in and make new friends, Royal just offers a lot more for them. Go with Royal, unless there is a huge price difference. In the end, either cruise will be great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted January 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Ships are similar. I prefer RCI over Carnival. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbutterfly Posted January 24, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We settled on Carnival because it was $1400 cheaper. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
