evandbob Posted September 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I've sailed all the Conquest class ships maybe 20 times total, all of the Dream Class, and both the Vista and Horizon, and my preference is......definitely the Horizon! Brightest, best atrium, extra food option in JiJi's, nice and clean. FWIW, I stopped sailing the Fantasy class ships a dozen years ago because I thought they were old and rusty back then. Recently had a suite on the Miracle, and that was maybe the best thing about that ship. JMO, and YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted September 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) I have only been on seven so far, but the Pride is definitely my favorite. The pinnacle of design and function in the Carnival fleet in my opinion. I find that design and number of passengers to public space is what I really love about the Pride. I really dislike the Dream and Vista class. On the Dream, all the lounges and public spaces are also walkways and on the Vista they killed the Atrium and buffet looks like a school cafeteria. As for the number of passengers, the buffet on these ships is like a zoo compared to the Pride. Edited September 20, 2018 by asalligo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Breeze for me. But all-time for me only spans four years, eight cruises, five ships, and four classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiingj Posted September 20, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Breeze #1. Definitely NOT Vista, it was the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin85 Posted September 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Pride. Love the size an layout of the ship, just the right mix for me of passangers to public space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingomamma19 Posted September 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I have been on the Fascination, Dream, Freedom, Breeze (3x), Splendor, magic, and most recently the Legend. I LOVED the Legend. The layout and spacious open areas (clubs, bars, atrium, theater etc) Easy to navigate and nothing was too far. Now it is a smaller ship (larger than fascination, smaller than Freedom) but a good balance for us. Although the Breeze comes in a close 2nd...that is newer and has more bells and whistles...cant go wrong with that one either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEUB1112 Posted September 20, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 20, 2018 We have been on 14 cruises and have 4 booked, we have been on all classes except the Fantasy Class, our favorite is the Triumph. I think that the whole cruise experience including departure port and ports of call may play a role in which ship is one's favorite. Just my humble opinion.

N7786W Flyer Posted September 20, 2018 #16 Share Posted September 20, 2018 My favorite ALL-TIME Carnival ship would definitely be the Mardi Gras. She rolled like a drunken sailor even in smooth seas, but those beautiful wooden interiors really stole the show! Of the current fleet, I'd have to vote for the Magic.

Garnett Oh - so nice to see someone mention the Mardi Gras - I worked in the gift shop on her in the 1980's - so much fun!! Though I really liked the Magic, of the 12 CCL ships I've been on (not including the 3 I worked on) my favorite would have to be the Breeze - so far!

MalleyCat Posted September 20, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Vista, followed by the Pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddylover Posted September 20, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Breeze #1. Definitely NOT Vista, it was the worst. DITTO!! Agree on both...LOL! Breeze was our favorite....and Vista was our all time LEAST favorite of any ship in any cruise lines!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrod Posted September 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Carnival Victory for me! I love the ceiling in the atrium. All that green.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posesmom Posted September 20, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Carnival Spirit. Being our first cruise & in Alaska helps but no ship has ever lived up to my memory of that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzincat50 Posted September 21, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Haven't been on that many ships that were memorable enough to have a favorite, but we did just get off of our third cruise on the Pride last week. It had been three years since the second, and I like what has been done to some of the interior design. They got rid of a lot of the nude cherub type art work in public places that became the target of defacing by juveniles of undetermined age. They didn't bother me, except for the fact that in every elevator someone had to make their mark. Now that it is gone, the ship looks much cleaner. If I had to pick one it could only be the Paradise when they did not allow smoking. The good old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream and Conquest class ships are my favorite. There are too many things they changed on the Vista class ships that I don’t like. However, I do prefer that class to fantasy class ships, although we do have a cruise booked on Paradise next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickCruiser Posted September 21, 2018 #25 Share Posted September 21, 2018 For me...the Breeze. It was the first non-Gaudy by Farcus that we went on. A game changer for us dragging friends and family to it. I do like the smaller ships...but for full family, it’s the Breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
