Your Absolute Favorite Carnival Ship and WHY???

OK fellow Cruisiers what is you favorite ship and tell us WHY?

The Carnival Destiny only because it was our first cruise. That was in 1999, the ship was fairly new and beautiful. We were new to cruising. Had a balcony on the empress deck and did the Eastern. It was awesome. The Destiny might not remain my favorite ship, but it will always be my fondest ship.

I have to agree with DKobler about the Destiny as she was my first ship, too. We did the Western the first year she came out. This year I'm returning home to the Destiny to do the Southern Itinerary.

Carnival Pride.

It is actually a close call between the Pride and Legend. I love those Spirit class ships.

Paradise...it is my only CCL ship but it feels so much like home now, and the nonsmoking environment, great staff, generally everything about it is just great!

Spirit class ships. They are so easy to get around! :)

The Paradise is our favourite ship. We've sailed on her 3 times.

Our first was the Imagination.

Our next one is the Victory (in November) and we'll see then if we have a new, favourite ship.

Our first cruise was in 1992 on the Ecstasy. The first is always the most memorable; however, our most favorite was on the Destiny. The combination of the Southern Caribbean islands and the beauty of the ship made that cruise in 2001 our best. We are going again in September. I hope we enjoy it as much as the first time.

LadyDi- do I know you from another message board?? This is Pammy.... Anyway, I can't wait to see how your September trip will be cuz we go in October.

Pholter - I'm new to the message boards, must have been someone else. I'm going 9/19/04. I'll let you know when we return how it was.

OK fellow Cruisiers what is you favorite ship and tell us WHY?

SENSATION!!

Why??

WHY NOT!!

ROFLMAO

The Pride. :cool: I've only sailed on 2 ships- 3 times on the Ecstasy and once on the Pride The Pride is a beautiful ship. We had an aft cabin with a wrap around balcony that made this trip even more spectacular. Since the Ecstasy was my 1st cruise, she will always hold a special place in my heart.

Even though the Sensation was our first and holds special memories, I have to say the Legend is my favorite. What's not to like? :D

The Legend is my fav by far, Beautiful and very easy to get around, My wife loves the Estacy as it is a little smaller and she likes the bars a little better.

The Pride is definitely my fave ship so far!:D

I've narrowed it down to 2.

1st - the Imagination, it wasn't too big or too small allowing a little more personal association between guests and crew (particularly in the dining room).

2nd - the Spirit (my first balcony) it is a beautiful ship and easy to get around.

Holiday - 1994

Celebration - 1995

Imagination - 1996

Imagination - 1999

Imagination - 2000

Paradise - 2001

Spirit - 2002

Triumph - 2003

Just returned from the Elation and this was by far the best of the other two Carnival ships we have been on ( Celebration, Conquest).

The Carnival Pride will always have a special place in my heart. *lol* I absolutely adore Spirit Class ships.

We have sailed the Sensation, Inspiration and the Glory. In that order. I loved the smaller ships and had a great cruise on each but after you sail a ship like the Glory what else can compare, and how do you go back to the smaller ships? I have booked the Inspiration fot a cruise this coming January and I am curious to see what I think after the cruise. I have also booked the Miracle late next year. Looking forward to that one. It will be sailing from Tamp. That's where the Sensation and the Inspiration sailed from as well.

Happy cruising.

We love the Destiny. Have sailed her three times. Just can't get enough of those Southern Caribbean ports.:)

What's my favorite ship? That's an easy one for me... The Inspiration!

That's the one I'll be boarding in 41 days for my first cruise!

I know the decor is a bit....different :D , but I have to say that so far, my favorite ship is the Miracle...it was my best cruise. Why.....it just was 'fun'...from the minute we walked on, we felt relaxed and new we were in for a great time, which we did have!

Used to be the ELATION (I love the size and layout of Fantasy-class ships), but now its the PRIDE (not too big, not too small, and absolutely the best layout going on Carnival ships).

Looking forward to the SPIRIT doing the lower Mexican Riviera this fall (I hope). :D

MY favorite shiop is whichever one I'm on! As long as it's taking me away from work and worries, I love it!

LOVE that Miracle
