    IMO Jan/Feb is too early for the Eastern itinerary (too cold).

     

    For the Southern itineraries, the best ship in Feb 2020 will be the Mein Schiff 2.

    The 14-day itinerary is fantastic. The prices at the moment are unbelievable - from $1600 pp. Included: 

    All tips on board

    Softdrinks, beer, sparkling wine and a selection of wine, cocktails, longdrinks and spirits

    Specialty coffees and teas

    This is a German ship (the crew speak perfect English).

    Unfortunately departure from La Romana.

    The second best option is more affordable (but offers less value) : 10 days on the Koningsdam.

    Departure from Florida.

    For the Southern itineraries, the best ship in Feb 2020 will be the Koningsdam.

    10 days from $940:

    10 Days Caribbean-Southern

    Holland America Line • Koningsdam

    Fort Lauderdale, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Amber Cove, Bonaire, Willemstad/Curacao, Oranjestad, Fort Lauderdale

    2 departure dates: Feb 2, 23 2020

     

    Happy cruising!

    Thank You 🙂

    If you are planning to do any Carnival ship out of FLL or MIA for Jan or Feb you need to decide fast.  Most of the ships nearly full.  We are looking at that same timeframe and the itineraries for Southern Carib don't have any balcony rooms left, which is mandatory for us as DH is scuba diving at ports and needs a place to dry his gear.  

    We are looking at the Conquest out of FLL for western carib, and Legend out of TPA for same, since all the southerns are full.  

    Magic is a great ship, and does the Eastern Carib... check to see if those itineraries have the room you want still available.  

    We couldn't believe how almost everything is sold out..We were looking to go out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale, Tampa the ships aren't too large, but not much Itinerary for that time of the year to go to the Southern Carb..

    Asking which is the best ship is like asking what the best kind of pizza is.  Everyone is going to have their opinions on which ships they like.  The best bet is for you to say what you are looking for in a ship, big/small, itinerary, restaurants, bars, etc.

     

    Personally, I love the Glory and the Conquest is great for Eastern side.  I prefer bigger ships over smaller ones.  I sail on Horizon in a week to the Southern portion, which I haven't done yet, so I can comment more on that after I get back.

    We were looking at the Horizon..we Prefer the Larger Ships as well..I Cant wait to hear your review

    Best Piano Entertainer on Carnival? (Part 2)

    Swimmom2,

     

    I hope you make it over to this thread to see this. The schedule has changed and Ron will not be on the Liberty in Oct/Nov now, he is heading to the Magic instead. Your piano man will be "Piano Bar Bob" Berhalter.

     

    But that being said, yes Ron is the best out there in my opinion!

     

    Happy sailing,

     

    Laura

     

    I did make it over here thank you...Oh no now im bummed :(
