Paul my apoligies to the above comment then. I still don't like either of those lines. But that's another thread.

Royal Caribbean is such a nice line that they are now search police at the gangway taking passengers liquor. You can't take it on anymore for cabin consumption. What a cheap line. That was my last cruise with them. El Cheapos.

How about Celebrity? They are all the same company. My husband and I have a cruise booked in Jan 02 for the western Caribbean on the Century and got a great deal! I believe they are still offering but the room choices are getting limited.

RCCL has been trying to catch up to Carnival for so long that the finally have. Now you have two huge over marketed under par lines.

Paul Therault

<BR>You have it backwards xman. Carnival has finally caught up with RCCL. <BR> <BR>I do not find much difference between the two lines. I prefer Carnival only because I like their entertainment a bit more and I dream about the delicious lobster and prime rib twice during the week. <BR> <BR>They are both mass-market cruise lines and of course you can not compare them to say Silversea or even Holland or Celebrity but these are the facts ..... If you pay say $700 for a cruise and you take advantage of $100 a day food, services and entertainment you have that much true value and the cruise line does not make that much of a profit. <BR> <BR>The reason why there is so much feedback is the lines are sailing 15 - 20 ships every day. They are the most popular cruise-lines in the world. Thousands of passengers weekly. <BR> <BR>How can they stay in business if everyone had a bad cruise? <BR> <BR>You are not talking the Four Seasons Resorts, you know. <BR> <BR>Paul <BR> <BR>

I'm not particularly fond of the guy either. You really could have come up with a more intellectually stimulating comment though.

And of course Paul is the Hallway monitor. You always have to have the last word don't you Paul. This is why some people don't like you!!!!!! You just don't know when to keep your mouth shut.

Hi, <BR> Ann I would hope by now you have made your mind up...and enjoy which ever line you go on....As for the rest of the people who have made a reply to this post...All you good people make me glad I don't go on any the ships you all go on ....because many not all of you, have got a very narrow mind and very negative attitude..I've never seen anyone on the Carnival forums be so nasty to people as most of you....And No Carnival is not glamour but some people cannot afford to go on the more expensive line...So it's all right to give your opinion if you have been on both lines..But if you haven't, then you shouldn't be putting your two cents in.... <BR> Sorry to the people who were honest,but not to the ones that are just CCL bashers.. <BR>

My husaband and I returned from the Carnival Imagination cruise a month ago. It was AWESOME!!!! Only 5 days, wish it were 7 days. The food was fantastic, the ship was superb, the staff...very accomidating and very friendly, servic excellent. Like I said, just awesome. <BR> <BR>It was our first cruise, although we have nothing to compare it to, would do Carnival again. Some of our dinner partners had sail on a Royal ship, they said they both were great, the Royal was a bit more formal, older crowd, found Carnival to be more affordable. <BR> <BR>

Your friends said RCCL was more formal? That is a scary thought considering the majority of the people I saw on my ship were white trash out of Florida and close surrounding states. Don't believe me? Suit yourself. You've been warned.

Never been on RCCL, but been on Carnival and its nice, but can't compare to Princess Lines. If you can book Princess, try them, there is no comparison.
