Avril Posted March 25, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I want to know which are the best Carnival ships out there :D so tell me, 1st which Carnival ships have you have sailed on and 2nd, which one of those was your favourite and why? I'll start. Imagination in 2003 Carnival Victory in 2004 Carnival Legend for New Years 2006/2007 Carnival Pride in 2007 Carnival Freedom for New Years 2007/2008 Carnival Conquest in 2008 Although my 1st ship, Imagination, will always have a special place in my heart, my favourite ship of all time was the Legend. :D She's such a beautiful ship both inside and out and extremely well laid out. I really loved the design and themes of the public rooms and the colours used were wonderful (all the wood and gold). :D I have the Carnival Valor booked for October 2008 and possibly the Carnival Destiny for April 2009 so we'll see if my opinion changes after those 2. I doubt it though as I really loved the Legend!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinjerseygirl Posted March 25, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Mine are listed in my signature. But my all time favorite out of the 3 was the Miracle, the Sensation comes in a close second though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senoj84 Posted March 25, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Liberty. It was my first ship that's why it's my fav amongst other things. I'll be sailing it again.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniGail Posted March 25, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have to agree with one of the PP's and say that the Miracle is my favorite as well. I have been on the Fantasy and Fascination as well, but just loved the Miracle. We are sailing the Triumph and Destiny this year, but I don't know if they can top the Miracle!

DqALEX Posted March 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Miracle was my best. Been on there twice. I really like that ship. I like the layout, and I really like how its decorated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on it twice and had a great time both times. I'm really looking forward to the Miracle in June since I only hear good things about it.

Crusin Karen Posted March 25, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2008 See ships in my signature. I'm like Kathy. We have been on Spirit THREE times and she is my favorite ship. We actually booked her a 4th time, but switched to the Miracle for September and Feb. '09. So in 6 months I might have a new favorite! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam73 Posted March 25, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Valor was my favorite so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dommer573 Posted March 25, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My favorite ship is Elation. I love the seating off the buffet outside (aft). I love to set out there and read, look out over the ocean, maybe have a drink or two. The newer ship don't have this feature, that I know of, so I booked my first balcony, hoping for the same feel. I have never been on any other lines ships, but I would like to see Carnival do the same as NCL or RCL's ships (can't remember which, saw it on the travel channel, "Do's and don'ts" before you cruise show) where they have an inner promenade, with shops and interior balcony's, it looks cool.

ellen9974 Posted March 25, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My favorite ship is the one I am on when I am sailing ........I dont care what ship or ports as long as I am on a cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted March 25, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Spirit Class, Miracle in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantw82cruise Posted March 25, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I love all the Spirit class ships the best by far. Out of the 4 of them I would say the Legend is my favorite. The layout is pretty much the same on all but I like the décor of the Legend, I think the silver urns all over are very classy. You can see my ship list below....

jpg1747 Posted March 25, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I've only been on one so far and liked the Triumph. When I was researching my Western Caribbean cruise, I picked Carnival for the itinerary and the Valor because it has my favorite 1A cabins. I will only book Carnival if I can get those 1A's with the windows. Great cabins and you can't beat the price. As far as the ships themselves, they all have pluses and minuses to the point it doesn't really matter to me. I've been on everything from small to large, old to new, and I have no preference.

Cigar Dude Posted March 25, 2008 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I really like the Glory! We were on her last September and will be again this September. I love all the balconies! It's very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglinc@msn.com Posted March 25, 2008 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2008 So far one of my favorites has got to be the Celebration, best food and service we have had on ANY ship. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avril Posted March 25, 2008 Author #19 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks everyone!! :D Mom and I are trying to decide on a ship to go on after our cruise on the Destiny in April 209 and I just thought I'd see which one(s) is/are people's favourites!! I think so far, the Miracle is winning!! Any more favourite Carnival ships out there? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Man Posted March 25, 2008 #20 Share Posted March 25, 2008 We enjoyed the Spirit more than the Paradise (although the Paradise was a non-smoking ship at the time:D ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuccicruisers Posted March 25, 2008 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2008 DH and I were engaged on the Inspiration. We bought the ring in St. Martin. A surprise to both of us...watch out for those jewelry stores that serve drinks!!!!!! We hope to renew our vows for our 10 year on the Victory.

czimm Posted March 25, 2008 #22 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have only been on two cruises so far - the Fantasy and the Triumph. I liked the longer cruise better, but loved both boats...We are booked on the Valor in May, our first aft balcony, which I'm sure will make that our favorite!!! After that, it sounds like we need to book a Miracle cruise. Hi Avril, my neighbor to the North! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poxy Posted March 25, 2008 #23 Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Legend, by default :D From the poll results, it looks like it is going to be hard to top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stircrzy Posted March 25, 2008 #24 Share Posted March 25, 2008 For me... The Ecstasy. That gaudy decor puts me into vacation mode. My last few times the Captain and his staff have made the visit extra special. In my 15 cruises, I've never had a crew like the Ecstasy's with Captain Scala at the helm. I think having his wife aboard as Hotel Director works well for him and for the rest of us! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
