Royal Caribbean evolution vs Carnival

[Beezo]

I say this tongue in cheek....

 

Has anyone noticed, particularly more since the reopening to cruises, that Royal Caribbean has evolved into more of the "Fun Ships" and Carnival has moved downmarket, cheaper cruises "traveling Carnival" style?

 

The Icon of the Seas is continuing to focus on families looking for an active, premium vacation.  Based on a lot of the reviews I've read from Carnival, service has deteriorated, food portions have shrunk, quality down, and more incidents in the news than I can remember with fights and disorder onboard than I can remember as of late.

 

 

 

*DISCLAIMER* - This is not directed towards any crew - they are all very hardworking.  It's the overall product that I think has changed.

From what I have heard from friends and families for many years Carnival has always been that way.

Someone has to go after the UFC / WWE niche.

I keep waiting to see Shaq on the Flowrider saying “Choose The Fun!”

I sailed on C Vista five years ago and she was a great ship and food was good. Enjoyed the IMAX on board too.

 

All cruise lines are evolving these days so many choices for all.
