I think it is the poor man's cruise line. If you look at the economy right now, all of the companies catering to people with more money are still doing ok. The companies that cater to lower income people are starting to see their economy effect the bottom line. Royal Caribbean stock price has not taken as much a hit as carnival stock.
@@belligerentinstigator944 U can have Carnival 🎃. I went on one many yrs ago boarded in San Juan & got to my stateroom & someone left a pee stain on sofa 🛋.
As I asked supervisor, why wasn’t my room cleaned, the guy said oh that’s not liquid that’s baby pee😢
So, if u knew a baby urine was left on sofa cover, why not take it off steam it & sanitize it & replace cover.
So, he’ll no, that was disgusting 🤮. Needless, to say he had to clean 🧽 my whole room bc I felt my skin crawling.
Then, the food 🥘 was cold 🥶 most of the time.
It wasn’t 4 me couldn’t wait to get back home 🏡.
Snooty people out down Carnival. Same people that used to put down Costco. Meanwhile Costco is best place. And you're right about Walmart. Everyone goes there for something. Even those liberals that said Walmart shoppers smell. They'll be the ones stinking up come November 8.
I have been on all 6 of the major lines and Celebrity was the best. My wife has banned us from ever going on Carnival again.
1. Celebrity
2. Princess
3. Royal
4. Norwegian
5. Holland (bland)
6. Carnival
I have been on both...Carnival really are the Fun Ships.Luv our MardiGras. BACK TO BACK MardiGras.Luv Luv Luv it... Eastern and then Western.Great Food and absolutely luv Kendall Fire...Going on Icon Next.❤Carnival Drink Package is the Best.❤❤❤Venezia Next after that.Carnival really is the BEST❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
First guy has my whole energy. Vacations ain't cheap, period.
Lol true
Define cheap
100%AGREE
I agree. You're looking at at least 3 grand for 5 to 7 days...

This was one of your best videos. We are those loyal carnival people. THis is because from our very first cruise to present, we have always been treated like royalty by the entire crew, no exceptions. The variety of food, bars, entertainment and party atmosphere are a definate positive, too. And, for the most part, the clientel are not pretentious or ostentatious. You have people up and down the pay scale, all races, ages, ethniticities, etc and it is fun and diverse. Sure, there can be inconsiderate jerks, but there are always that handful of folks, that is life. As far as the walmart comparison, we never shop at walmart because we dont like self check out, LOL. Carnival never leaves you hanging, they take care of their customers. As far as cost goes, carnival, you get more bang for the buck and when you have to fly across country for most cruises like we do (airfare), that part helps. Great show J. thanks
Couldn't agree less. Have done 6 carnival sailings. Finally have had enough. The line is great. The people on board....too many disgusting, entitled, self centered aholes. When you offer bottom barrel rates you get a percentage of people that simply don't care. The ship reaks of weed. It's low class, low rent. If that's your thing, go for it! For me though, it's not worth it anymore. It's gross.
You've clearly never cruised with a Royal company... You think Carnival treats you well... Take a Celebrity... enjoy
@@JeezBeez I have absolutely cruised with Royal and Disney. The point I am making is the carnivals food and staff are good. The guests are by and large abhorrent. I am going on Celebrity booked in a Sky Suite in April.
That's exactly what I tell those who have never cruised... no matter your income or class or state room.... they don't care, you'll be treated like royalty!
I’ve cruised on all cruise lines and I’m about to be platinum on Carnival for the simple reason that the people who sell on carnival 96% of them are not bougie, everybody talks to everybody, and you make cruise friends for life. Unless you say comedy shows are bar none of the best comedy shows you’ve ever seen laughter beyond laughter. I’m born on Royal and when I need a chill cruise I’ll do celebrity but Carnival is my homebase and Carnival is not the Walmart of cruises
Carnival is the "Fun Ship". So happy to hear other people love Carnival as much as I do! It is the people who make the difference.
Loyal Carnival here. Love the comics every night that Carnival has, big bonus for us.
Thanks for this. My 78 year old mother, who can be snobby about things, only wants to cruise Carnival. She thinks they're much more fun than Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. I think she's right, though I sail with everyone. If you want to dance and party and have an upbeat good time, Carnival is the cruise line for you.
Your mom doesn't sound so snobby. Lol, She is living her best life on Carnival.
Your mother sounds like she would be a lot of fun to cruise with!
The same rationality applies to hotel resorts. If you go to those 4-5 star or diamond resorts it's beautiful but boring as heck. When you go to the 2-3 star resorts you're going to meet a lot of wonderful and colorful people.
I have only been on Carnival. I've been on 9 cruises. When I watch videos of the other lines, they are NOT what I'm looking for. Royal Caribbean might have bigger and possibly better ships, but that's not what I'm looking for. I LOVE the Carnival VIBE. And since Carnival IS the cheapest of all the lines, EVEN BETTER! Great video, thanks for doing and sharing it!
Carnival isn't always the cheapest. Usually the cheapest of any ocean cruise line in the US right now is Margaritaville at Sea, although they only do these short 3-4 night sailings to the bahamas and back. MSC's cruises out of the US are sometimes cheaper than Carnival as well.
With that all said, I agree. The vibe on Carnival is fun and what makes them awesome.
Carnival is affordable for good family vacations. Every ship I have gotten on I experienced no racism, no classism, no random brawls. Just everyone from all backgrounds enjoying each other.
I don't think of Carnival as Walmart-I think it's accessible. Every family deserves the opportunity for a vacation and time off to rest and rejuvenate even if they don't have a big budget. As someone who has been on 33 Carnival cruises since I was 9 years old (Mom's favorite vacay) and countless on other lines, I do often choose to sail with Carnival because it is what is in my budget at the time. But I choose to sail with them for the experience as well-it depends on the vibe I'm going for. For my 40th birthday next month I'm going with Carnival for the whimsical decor, casual atmosphere, duck hunting and cabin door decorating, and good place for being a goofball and meeting new people. For my Mom's 70th birthday I would choose Royal or another cruise line with more formal and adult activities and less children. But as someone who cruised as a child Carnival was a great experience and I highly recommend it. Activities and counselors were fun, I made new friends and always felt safe- even if I got lost for a few minutes trying to find the fam I couldn't really go anywhere. It was also a great learning experience and gave me new perspective when I visited some islands where I was exposed to extreme poverty. It was my first time seeing people live so differently than we do in the US and really stuck with me. The service and the food has always been great on Carnival, even if some of the ships are a little outdated I have always had a good cruising experience.
I’m retired and love to cruise.
I love Carnival. I can drive to the port (saving on airfare) and Guy’s Burgers/ Blue Iguana are my go to places for lunch. I choose Princess for international cruises and I “Choose Fun” (Carnival) for getaways. On Carnival there is something for everyone.
Me too Judy. I can drive to Baltimore and because I save on airfare and hotel, I can get a cabin by myself sometimes.
Lucky you!
Rico is high. Our best ever Royal cruise was on the Empress. We loved the small ships. We have done a total of 20 cruises on Carnival, Royal, Celebrity, Princess and NCL. By far, Carnival is the best. They're the most down to earth. No snobbishness and the best and most entertainment.
He didn’t say it was bad. He just said it was the budget option. He isn’t wrong in that respect.
@@hellow4130 He literally agreed with the statement that Carnival is "the poor man's cruise line". It just isn't. We're pretty well off and love Carnival. Anyway, my OP was in regards to him not liking smaller ships. We love them and specifically book older ships because they are smaller. But, to each their own.
@@martymcfly256 It depends on the itinerary. Any cruise to Alaska is fun while every 3 day getaway is a drunk fiesta that costs $50 per day excluding drinks
No offense, but why are you saying he is high? Just for a perspective? An opinion? You said the best are Carnival but that’s your opinion, your answer is not right nor wrong, nonetheless Rico is not wrong that in budget option Carnival is affordable.
I’ve been on 20+ cruises too & I haven’t seen much difference in RC, Princess, NCL, & some others that are no longer in business or bought out by others. I’ve also cruised on Carnival but what I found was just little things, like longer lines/less staff on them. My last 2cruises on RC pre COVID we stopped eating breakfast in the dining room bc some “elites” kept complaining about the staff & asking to speak to the manager. It would be a disturbing scene & you could tell it was over nothing. I’ve never had a problem with the 11:39 staff. Maybe these are the snobbish ppl you were talking about????
I’ve been cruising since the early 90s. My first experience was on Carnival and it was fantastic! I’ve seen Carnival as well as other cruise lines go up and down in popularity. Right now I’d say it’s doing just fine. People need to be more respectful of others. Enough said.
Lol. Love the first commenter. That’s it, some of us really like Carnival, and we are not broke.
I enjoyed the interviews!!! I agree with one of the guys that said once you’re on the ship, the class of people is tossed out, everyone is the same class!!! Some people just want to think higher of themselves, we all cruisers, on vacation, trying to have fun!!! No one interested in one trying to show someone you better! Thanks Justin, I really enjoyed this! 🕵🏾🛳🛳
These interviews are so important. I’ve never sailed in Carnival and I like smaller ships so these opinions are valuable. Thanks and you are very personable.
Just don't take the short, weekend cruises. I hear those attract the young, less well behaved crowd.
I’ve been on 18 cruises from Royal, norweign, and carnival. Been on Allure, oasis , Mardi Gras, norweign epic, etc most of the newer ships and def older ones also. This video was fantastic cause the guest filmed here still love the experience on the older carnival ships. I think Royal has best entertainment, but carnival has best experience overall and everyone is there to have fun! You can’t beat carnival… if carnival raised prices near Royal, I would still sail carnival no doubt… cheers! 🎉
Hey Jay, I've Cruised many times. I will say, I love Carnival the most. Many things you have to keep in mind when cruising. You have to know what you want. If you want to have fun, choose Carnival. If you want relaxation, choose Carnival. Lol, JK. I love Carnival, but if you are an up tight person, well then maybe choose Carnival to make you a little less up tight. Carnival is awesome 👌
Carnival is budget friendly and is perfect for first timers and large traveling groups. Personally, I like Carnival over NCL and RC when it comes to guest interactions because, everyone seem to be more friendlier and engaging whereas when I sailed on NCL and RC it seemed to be everyone kinda stayed to themselves or their group. Carvinal also have better food imo. As of recent Carnival has been catching a lot of flack due to the unruly people but it’s not bad like some would want you to believe.
I've done one Princess and one Holland cruise and twelve Carnival. I hate the whole idea of cruise snobs and there are even some on Carnival. I love people watching and them having fun. I go for my experience not someone elses idea of what it should be. Ive had cabins on every part of the ship except inside cabin and never had a problem. Carnival treats me great and i keep coming back.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Great interview style. You should do more of these & on other cruise lines.
Thank you! I will on every Ship moving forward!
I've done 15 Carnival cruises with 3 on the Paradise. It's everyone's cruise line. There is something for all here and while they are not the fanciest, they offer a great value and fun experience. The crew is great on every Carnival ship. I love meeting people and striking up conversations with random people. Carnival makes cruising affordable for everyone and that's a win.
I heard the same thing Carnival was like a dollar store cruise line. But I just went on a Carnival Sunrise cruise a week ago for the first time and it was fantastic. The people/workers were awesome and very friendly. The activities on the boat were amazing. Your cruise on Carnival is all about having a great time. I'm looking to go on another cruise in a month or so.
Love this new format. This is like you being you and not what you expect others want you to be. You are more relaxed in these vids. Love it! Oh, and on that Walmart thing, I tell people Carnival should love that comparison. Walmart is rhe number one retailer in the World. Over a million bucks per hour in sales.... so they must be doing something right... Thanks for the vid and keep it up, my friend
Yep, and I have seen some pretty expensive cars parked in those Walmart parking lots!
I guess seeing how you said it Walmart is no longer the poor person store. We might need to call it the dollar tree of cruising. Even though I have 7 total cruises 6 with carnival I’d say that I enjoy the atmosphere of carnival a whole bunch.
Courtney is funny: the last time he checked he wasn't broke 😅😅😅 Great interviews from everyone!! Jay, I like your shirt 😊
Lovely man, something of the ‘gentle giant’ about him. I’d enjoy having a beer with Courtney 🍺
Ive said it before and Ill say it again. Thank you for highlighting this particular ship and showing it some love. A few cruisetubers will joke around with the idea of going on an older ship as if it was beneath them. But not only are you showing the ship some love, you're showing the older ship has its own character and worth to it.
Fantasy class ships are laid out so well and the deck area is far far better than most of the big ships imo.
I honestly love Carnival. Really good price point and tons of fun. They really take care of you and are so friendly.
I wish more vloggers would interview people like you sometimes do. Very interesting to me.
Hey J. Loving these interviews. Ok Rico. That’s what’s up. Trying and experiencing different cruise lines and ships. I’ve been on 13 cruises. Princess. Celebrity. Carnival. Norwegian and Royal. All wonderful in their own rite. Gotta add Disney, MSC, Azamara, Viking. There’s a ball of fun out there. Carnival is not the Walmart of the cruise line. Pros and cons with all lines. Love your diverse interviews with men and women and age groups. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
Didn’t go on my first cruise until 11 years ago. The people who work on the ship are the reason I spent the $ for a second trip. People from all over the world just so cool.
Carnival is 100% the Walmart of the Seas. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. I like Walmart because it is great value for the money. There are some downsides but it's what comes with bargain shopping.
Carnival isn’t my favorite cruise line but I have sailed on carnival more than any other because they are all over at ports near me, they are affordable, and they are fun. Sure I have had better food on other lines. But no better fun and entertainment.
I’m sort of loyal to Royal, but I’d never turn down a good deal on a short Carnival cruise. The last time I went on a quick 3-day weekend on Carnival, my only complaint was the cruise was over before I knew it. It was a fun and relaxing cruise, and one of the best long weekends I’ve ever had.
OMG, I love this episode! Why don't you and other youtube cruise content creators do more live interviews with cruise passengers? Very honest opinions from the source and VERY entertaining. May we have some more please? well done!
Outstanding review J! We have always thought the Carnival Ships have the most fun, interesting, caring, loving people!
I recall my first timer cruise experience for 3 days on royal and Norwegian it was horrible. Until I did carnival I changed
Carnival is my favorite cruise line.
People need to understand that every ship is different. It bothers me when someone books a cruise on the Carnival Conquest, Carnival Valor, or Carnival Liberty and complains that’s it’s not as nice as the Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon, and Carnival Panorama.
Thank you. I like to see real cruiser on vacation having fun. It is always better to be on a cruise ship than at work. I cruise on alot different places, ship and companies. They all have something good and bad to bring to the table.
Have fun and be safe.
When I started cruising in the 90s. it was on the (now scrapped) Carnival Fantasy. I was hooked immediately. I've been on other Carnival cruises since and have richly enjoyed every one of them. These interview format is great. I encourage you to keep doing this.
I love the interviews but I found it entertaining to hear you agree with everyone you interviewed. I understand why. No criticism intended. It actually made the video more fun to watch. You keep getting better and better. Nice to see. Now go have some fun!!! 😂
Cruising carnival next week, wouldn't have it another way.
Rico hit the nail on the head. You get what you pay for and if you want a younger crowd, hit carnival, if you want a nursing home hit celebrity cruises. Just enjoy whatever you are on and if you don’t want the ‘Walmart’ cruise, spend more money and go on Royal or Celebrity.
If you want a better Caribbean beach vacation go to a 4 star all inclusive resort. They are too expensive for most carnival passengers and I like that
I sailed on the Carnival Paradise 3 times, because of great rates and really good packages after the cruise restart. It's a great ship with charming decor, the staff is wonderful.
I've been on royal, princess, carnival, and celebrity. Carnival has the most FUN people
I love the videos where you visit with cruisers. We have cruised with Royal but there's just something about Carnival that keeps us coming back. The people that call it the Walmart of cruising is the people that want people to think they are better than others.
Or want others to believe they have long coins. Like the first gentleman said, when you step on board you lose class and that is every ship.
This ship reminds me of the Ecstasy and Elation. My first cruise was on Fantasy. I’ve never gone on a “Mega” ship. The biggest I’ve been on is the Dream. Been on Royal Caribbean ONE time on a cruise to Alaska. It was SO boring. Never been on RC again. Absolutely love the small ships and the atmosphere on Carnival.
My man says, last I checked I ain't broke.... listen. Shopping at Walmart and cruising on carnival allows people to cruise without breaking the bank! No shame and personally I love cruising with carnival!
I really enjoy the Fantasy and Spirit class ships. We do enjoy the smaller ships since there is LESS to do. You can relax and simply enjoy the cruise. As I have pointed out before there is so much to do, even on the LARGER Carnival, that you are constantly busy. Very little time to actually relax and interact with new people. We have met so many great people on the smaller ships. On the larger ships people pay less attention to each other are too distracted.
Carnival is for people who like to have fun
I love that you did interviews of all different people to get a good consensus on what people think of that ship however I wouldn’t say it’s the Walmart of the seas but I would say it’s a budget friendly cruise line😂
I love Carnival. Have never had a bad experience.
Carnival has a better selection of good food at no additional cost…unlike some lines which seem to charge extra for too many if their offerings. Main dining room was better than my last NCL cruise. Nor a fan of the old smaller ships but some of the mid size (Legend class?) are nice.
Yeah, I love the Carnival selection of food as well.
Been on several Carnival Ships and had a great time
I have been on 15 cruises, all on Carnival except one. I love Carnival because you are treated so well and there is always a lot to do. I have been on Carnival Paradise out of Tampa 3 times and I have always enjoyed cruising on this ship. For a smaller ship, it still has all the bell and whistles that I enjoy and it is clean with great service from the crew. I cruised on Carnival Paradise on 5 day cruises and it was quick and easy to get on and off to the ports and to embark and disembark.
Our first cruise was in 1986 with Carnival. We have sailed many different cruise lines. There are large ships and there are small ships. We like the variety. Three cruises booked that include Virgin, Margarittaville at Sea, and then Carnival Paradise. We have done Harmony OTS, Allure of the Seas, Mardi Gras, and Quantum of the Seas thus far this year. So you can see, we are game for almost anything.
Okay, Jay. This was an excellent and fun video. Two things I want to point out; there were an abundance of first time cruisers and second, none of the cruisers appeared to be over 50. I will not disparage Carnival because they are who I first cruised with and who gave me my love of cruising. I was young, I had two little kids, and it worked out perfectly for me at that time. As I am sure you know, there is an abundance of seniors who cruise regularly. We’re there any seniors on this cruise? We have been doing it for twenty some years and have tried many different cruise lines. As you said, every line does something better than the others. So as we mature in our cruising experience, we gravitate to the one(s) that offer what we are looking for. Maybe that is the reason some refer to Carnival as the “Walmart” of cruising, and no, not everyone goes to Walmart for something. I don’t. Can’t. On principal of their practices, not because I don’t need to save money. Keep up the good work!
Our first cruise was Carnival and we are over 50. I would say most of the people on our ship were middle aged like us. There were some younger people and some seniors. There were relatively few children and most were probably homeschooled like our teenager who was with us. It was a very middle aged vibe in my opinion.
Any Cruise Line is Great They are all Different and that's
what makes Cruising wonderful ......You only get out of
a Cruise what You put in .....Just have FUN !!!!! And ,
Cruise ON !!!
When I go on a cruise I want to speak with my family and no one else, other than staff. If anyone is trying to be my friend or share some vibe they can keep it to themselves.
Rico said it best. He's right, and I've said all that before.
These were really good interviews! I have not cruised in at least 5 years but looking forward to bringing the kids on Carnival bc of my past experiences with them.
The guy with the tie ....had the best line....lol. "When you step on board, you lose class." I know what he meant, but that Freudian slip is hella accurate 😂😂😂
That tells u everything u want to know.. its like volunteering to go to jail...😅😅😅
I love meeting a diverse group of good people when I travel. On my first carnival cruise I had a blast!!!! I didn't see any fights or arguments of any kind. It was like one big party 🎉
I've been on Carnival, HAL, and NCL I have loved them all. I had thought Carnival would be a cut rate experience and it was far from it. It may have been a bit younger crowd and a little louder but it was great.
This was my favorite video that I’ve seen from you. Good Job! I really like the interviews. Keep ‘em coming
Jay we have been cruising for years and we love Carnival. I always ask for the small ships. If I want an amusement park I'd go to an amusement park.
Just went on my first cruise on the Valor. We had a blast. Granted no previous experience but had a great time. Everyone was friendly, there’s A LOT of do….the crew was awesome.
carnival paradise was my first cruise and I love it. I think as some of the first timer began to take more cruises, they will begin to like what they like. I love Royal Caribbean middle size cruise ships (Mariner, freedom of the seas, navigator)
Great Video! When I do decide to cruise for the first time, will definitely go with a smaller ship. Great information. Love when you interview passengers during a cruise. Love how honest those people are. You are a great interviewer! You should work for the Travel Channel!
I love Carnival’s fun and happy atmosphere ☺️ I’ve been twice!
That was so cool!!! I love how you interviewed the passengers. I bet this one gets even more views than ever before. Take care! 😀
I do think of Carnival as the Walmart… but that isn’t necessarily bad, it just means it is accessible to most everyone… I think many cruisers start on Carnival because of value and fun, then many move on but some stay loyal… I’ve cruised over 15 lines and they all have been enjoyable.. if you only shop Nordstrom’s or Gucci and would never go to Walmart, them Carnival may not be your best fit… a great travel agent should help you decide what’s best for you..
Very informative video please do more of them.
Our very first cruise was on the Sensation (another fantasy class ship, that's now been scrapped). We have only been on bigger ships since then, with more features and options. We had an interior cabin and have only had balconies since. But that sailing on the Sensation did have the best service of any cruise we have been on.
That's why I enjoy Carnival, such great vibes. I have befriended more Carnival cruisers than on the other cruise lines.
Hi Shiplife, Like your channel I’ve been a subscriber for a while. I have no issues with Carnival as with any cruise line it depends on the ship. However, just to let you know not everyone shops at Walmart, I stopped shopping there almost 15 years ago. I knew people who work there and I didn’t like how they treated their employees, especially their part-timers so I refuse to spend my money there ever again too many other places to shop. You’re doing a good job keep it up👍!
Good info. Now, it sounds like a good place to take the grandkids, and not just an unknown opportunity. Thanks!!
I love this video. I'm researching hoping to take my first cruise. I'm loving all your videos. In this one you seem really relaxed. Courtney got me excited to gooooo!!!
Carnival had great prices post pandemic but now I can't afford a cruise on carnival. An inside cabin on carnivals Mardi Gras is 2400.00 . I was on the first cruise on the Mardi Gras and three more times in the same year and never paid more than 900.00 for a balcony cabin. I even got a Havana cabana cabin for 750.00 . so now I've gone to MSC because they have single rates . a balcony is about 600.00 for myself. Now that's affordable.
An interior cabin was 2400?, I am looking at bookings for 2023 and most of the interiors are under 1000, many are 700 and under, especially if you book using your points and get a casino package, where they are giving away 200 onboard credit and free drinks at the casino.
I have a suite for less then that same cruise ship.
I don’t know where you were looking; but, I just checked the Carnival website and the Mardi Gras cruises start at $514 for an inside cabin on a 7 day cruise.
@@judycohentx I looked now even adding port fees and taxes, I found an interior for 1400. Now that’s without adding my VIFP number.
@@ashasun6620 when did you book it for ? These prices are what I found for the next 3 months. On carnivals site with my VIFP #
“Just know that I love and appreciate every single one of you” Love this outro, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, haha! ❤
The last carnival cruise I had six guys burgers they are so good
Great to hear feedback of novice and intermediate cruisers. All of them have positive feedback about Carnival. Sounds like the people and the workers makes the best environment. Also loved to hear other people willing to venture out to other cruise lines for more destinations. Great video J!!
I have cruised on NCL, RCL, Holland, Celebrity, and Carnival. Hands down Carnival has the best food, then comes Holland, then Celebrity. The Holland America ZAANDAM is the smallest ship I have ever been on (sailing from FLL to Montreal) and it was just a delight.
I like that you weren’t afraid to ask those direct questions! I’m thinking about cruising this year so I look forward to your other videos as well.
Everyone has a Right to their Opinion I love Carnival the only Ship I've Sail I Sail on the Paradise when it first start Sailing so far I have 22 Carnival Cruise under my belt Thank you J for putting out great Content
I love the smaller ships. There are fewer people. I have been on the paradise and I liked it. My favorite ship is the Pride. I am a carnival cruiser for life. I would never go on a mega-ship, way too many people and I'm sure longer lines.
I have only traveled on Carnival with my husband to celebrate his birthday and he was hooked. I have traveled Carnival with my kids and they love it. They are now teenagers and they love it. I want to say Carnival affordable price is what got me started with cruising. But now I have standards on how I like to travel on cruises and it is not cheap. Plus you see the same class of people go on the Royal Caribbean as Carnival. It just depends on what you are looking for on your cruise vacation. Either cruise line is not cheap if you are lucky to even go on either you are already rich. Not everybody gets to go on a cruise.
I love Carnival I always have a great time, the service is great, the people are lively and they take the moniker "Funship" literally, there is ALWAYS someone fun to meet and something fun to do.
I did enjoy this video. I will add my two cents as a seasoned cruiser. Rico said it all. You get what you pay for and Guys burgers are straight! I find Carnival to be an exceptional value. The food exceeds expectations but you sacrifice on the service and personal touches. The ships are generally clean and a relaxing fun time is waiting for you. Unfortunately, It is the only line that I have sailed on that makes you feel like their hand i$ constantly in your pocket. (I've been on NCL, Princess, HAL, Celebrity and a few that no longer exist) You cannot walk past the giftshop without feeling like you are on a public beach in the Bahamas. When I want better service and an overall better experience, I sail with Princess. My next cruise is with Holland America for some real pampering. Next summer I might try MSC.
As a Royal fanboy, I will find out in Feb 2022 for myself on my first carnival superbowl week cruise. That guy's burger and fries and the music better be good is all I am saying.
It’s not always the ship but the experience 🥰. I’ve done 2 Carnivals, both on older, smaller ships and NCL on both smaller & larger. Crews made the difference. On both lines I’ve always had the best experience because of the crews. You’re nice to them, they treat you like gold. I’ve also made many lifelong friends on each cruise I’ve taken. Thanks buddy for sharing your insights 🥰
if by walmart you mean you get a good product for a great price, then yes, it is like walmart
28 cruises with Carnival and 2 more scheduled. I'm mid-60's and still like the party atmosphere and the pace on the ship. I do prefer the mid-size to smaller ships and hate to see the Fantasy class being a thing of the past. I don't get the "I'm on a ship" feeling on the big ships, and that's one of the reasons I don't like them. I paid for a cruise, not a floating city. To each his own.
finally went on my first cruise ever it was on Carnival's Mardi Gras.. well I found it to be amazing .. and the staff Super Incredible... In another Life maybe I'd do it again ..while NOTHING at all was wrong Cruising is not for me ..but I had a great time
Awesome video and entertaining 👏🏾 no two people are alike and I love the diversity and difference of opinions. I've been on 14 cruises across 4 different cruise lines and had a blast on them all. You can always find something to gripe about but I choose to live well and be happy!!
We've cruised with all lines. Carnival is still the most fun and was the most affordable for us when the kids were young.
I cruised on all the major cruise lines RCL, Carnival , MSC etc. Carnival will always be my favorite. I typically stick to the newer ships. Carnival overall is the fun ship and is a constant good time. I feel like on other cruise lines I have to look for the fun.
I've been on this ship many times. Only reason to do this ship is because it's local. The aft extended balconies are pretty nice though. They were added on a few years ago.
Awsome job
Loved this one. ❤️ I have a wonderful time watching both your channels. You have taught me a lot and I have been 16 cruises. Most of them carnival.
Ive taken three cruises. Ive only ever cruised on Carnival
I’ve been on Carnival 4 times and going on my 5th this November; I’ve had nothing but the best experience every time. I’ve never been on another cruise line but I’ve heard from other ppl they aren’t as fun
