I have been on both cruise lines several times, I will tell you why I favor Royal Caribbean, give you tips on embarkation, shore excursions, packing, and helpful hints! I’ll tell you about food, clothing, and buying cruise tips.

I favor Royal Caribbean. The cuisine on Royal is exceptional, while carnival is average. Carnival also boasts that they are the “fun ship”, but I am 28 years old, and had a much better time on Royal. Don’t get me wrong, carnival is nice, but Royal is exceptional. The staff is there to cater to your every need. The entertainment, on board activities, and elegence of Royal is also unmatched.
