Lonely At The Top Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just curious, What is everyone's favorite ship, based strictly on the Ship itself (not because you dont have to travel to the port, or itineraries, just the ship itself) and why?

beachbum53 Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2018 For me, it's a tie between the Breeze and the Liberty. I like the size, layout and decor of the Liberty. I like the cove balconies, Waterworks and buffet area on the Breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted February 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Ecstasy. I'd choose the Fantasy but I like the Ecstasy's larger rear lounge better. I've only been on the Ecstasy, Sunshine, and Fantasy though so I don't have a big sample size. Every time I've been on the Ecstasy the food has been wonderful. I did not choose the Sunshine as I do not relish standing 4 deep shoulder to shoulder for 30 minutes for a muster drill, nor do I enjoy standing outside the comedy club for 30 minutes only to get a seat on the side of the theater where I have to watch the show on a TV.

ABQrobin Posted February 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2018 We've been on the Freedom(2x), Magic(2x), Legend, Liberty, Glory....getting on the Breeze on Sunday. Favorite so far purely on ships decor and layout: Freedom. Liberty and Glory are tied for second. Magic is nice but decor is meh. Legend is funky layout and very dark decor. I am a fan of Farcus designs, so I may not like the Breeze decor. We'll see soon. robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayscore Posted February 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Spirit class ships are my favorite. I find I don't need water works, big TV, and such. For traveling families, I do understand the worth of all the extra "whistle and bells"! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely At The Top Posted February 16, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I prefer the Fantasy & Spirit class ships myself....Maybe because they are typically older ships and not as popular, but there never seems to be crowds....Been on the Glory and Freedom and even tho a bit bigger, immediately noticed the crowds and this carried over to the Dream class, only worse. I realize the larger ships are the newer ones and typically have more bells and whistles, but for me, its not worth standing in line for 30 mins to sample a bell or whistle....I enjoyed the Freedom and Glory, but i really like the Elation, that is my personal favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belle2 Posted February 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) The Breeze [emoji7] I love all the bells and whistles! So much to do and many places to eat. Love the cove balconies, great service. Even though it’s a larger ship it never felt too crowded. I also love the decor. I’ve not been on the Vista yet and I don’t love the Farcus designed ships. I don’t like that many of the older ships have an adults only pool. We travel as a family with our kids so to be limited to only using the one pool is not great for us. I feel like the Breeze is very family friendly. If it were just my husband and I traveling alone we would love to enjoy an adults only pool, so I think it’s great that carnival offers both. I feel like the breeze may be the perfect blend between vista and Farcus designs. We’ve had two great cruises on the Breeze and it holds some fun memories for us. We will be in her in May and then the vista in October! Can’t wait to see how they compare!

yogibear Posted February 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Toss of a coin between the Legend and the Pride. I'm leaning towards the Legend due to memories! We went on a Cruise to Nowhere out of New York in October 2004 for my parents 50th anniversary. So glad we went as my dad passed away 2 months later.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Been on both ships.....Based on all the carnival ships I've cruised on Breeze #1 and Vista #2..... So don't be afraid to cruise the Vista or Horizon!! Also...Love the walkaround promenade deck on both ships with outside seating for beverages and restaurants...Also hot tubs on Breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutumbojimbo Posted February 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Well, any ship I'm currently on gets bonus points, but I'd have to say that the Fantasy would could currently get the nod. We love the Fantasy class ships for their size, but we really appreciated that the Fantasy had Guys Burgers and BlueIguana Cantina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw33twif3 Posted February 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Carnival Conquest has always been my favorite. She was built for New Orleans and I miss her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted February 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 16, 2018 We sail a number of lines, but for the Carnival ones Sunshine is easily our favorite. It has what we most like in a ship. Food options : tons of them. More than most. Jiji's Asian Kitchen is incredible and the best value at sea. Cucian del Capitano is also very good as is the steakhouse. Serenity : better than the ones on other Carnival ships we have experienced. Its the only one that is three decks high. It has its own pool with a waterfall. Love it!! The comedy club is smaller than some others but not much of a priority for us as we can take or leave the comedy shows. The comedians they employ tend toward the pick on audience member variety which we do not enjoy. Love the unique theater set up. Very beautiful and site lines are excellent.

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 16, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 16, 2018 So far Freedom. I suspect that could change in a couple weeks when I get on Breeze for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom Lover Posted February 16, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Our favorite is the Breeze! I love the decor and the layout of the decks. The ability to walk completely around the ship on deck 5 is wonderful. We like the layout of the Lido. A close second for us would be the Liberty.

A&Jfamily Posted February 16, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Sunshine. L-shape balcony available. Havana bar 2 decks up. Great Sports Square. Intimate comedy club. Great restaurant selections - Steakhouse, Bonsai, JiJi's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
re-re Posted February 16, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The Destiny is my favorite followed by the Breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted February 16, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The Destiny is my favorite followed by the Breeze. Of course you realize that the former Destiny is now called the Sunshine. We sailed on the Destiny before the re-do. We had one of the L-shaped cabins in the Aft, which we both liked. I think my wife liked the Destiny more than I did. I thought the layout of the ship was a bit odd. It was okay. Just not one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely At The Top Posted February 16, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I am a bit surprised....I know its only 20 posts but i thought i would have seen more Vista votes....I think i have seen it mentioned once....Seems like the Breeze and Sunshine are popular ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mdin Posted February 16, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've only been on 5 ships, but I've enjoyed them all, no complaints. I would say it's a close call between the Dream, Breeze, and Vista. I'll call it a tie. I'd happily sail any of them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
