Decide Carnival Vista vs Royal Allure of The Seas

[ThandiChai]

Hi Need help in deciding between these 2 cruises. I am traveling with a 5 Year Old Boy so the kids activity is the most important decision criteria.

 

Carnival Vista - 6 Days Mediterranean Cruise v/s Allure of Seas 7 Days Mediterranean Cruise

 

Both the price is exactly the same and the dates are in March... We did had one cruise 3 years ago on Disney Dream.

I think you would get more folks with experience on both lines to comment if you would post your question on the forums dedicated to each cruise line:

I'm going to strongly suggest the Allure. From what Iven read about the Vista,it sounds like it will be much more crowded than the Allure. Not to mention, Vista is a Carnival ship. Can't even compare with a Royal ship IMO.

Can't comment on the allure but we took my 4 year old Grandson on the Vista for a med cruise last year and he had a wonderful time in fact he still talks about it. There was so much for children to do he was never bored and the staff were amazing from the cabin steward who made him a different towel animal every night to the waiter in the diningroom who actually tore up the menu and made a jumping frog for him. Whichever one you chose I'm sure you will have a wonderful time.

No comparison, Allure all the way.

I've been on both. No comparison - Allure is the one to book. Have a wonderful cruise! Allure is magnificent.

Definitely Allure. No doubt.
