Tatka Posted May 6, 2012 #51 Share Posted May 6, 2012 IMHO, dining is the least problem with Carnival, as well as service and food. It's ok-to good. For me the real problem with their large ship Liberty was her design. I know that pool areas on most of the lines usually crowded, but to see crowds and bottle necks everywhere?! Another thing which took me whole week to adjust on the better planned Miracle were colors... NCL ships have festive bright colors, but some Carnival ships have downright gaudy decor. Miracle's main restaurant Buffet Atrium Special restaurant I am getting headache just thinking about all this. I am happy to know this company got rid of Joe Farcus!!!

nimiq Posted May 6, 2012 #52 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Compare compare thats is pretty much hard to do. I think it is easier to compare ships to cruise lines itself. IMHO if I have to do I will :-) Atmosphere=Pretty much the same Bars=Slight advantage to Ncl Disco=Ncl and the way Buffet=CCL MDR(dinner)= Pretty much the same Speciality Restaurant=NCL Shows=NCL for the big shows Comedian=CCL Cabins= Pretty much the same except for the high end ones its NCL¸ Pools=Pretty much the same Staff=Same Passengers= They are pretty much the same and age group as well Ships Decor=That is pretty much a personal thing. I quess for me that sums it. I would go with both lines anytime as long as the price and Itineray is good. sea ya Eric Hal Westerdam March2012 Coral Princess Sep2011 Ruby Princess Nov2010 Sapphire Princess Sep2010 Rccl Adventure Of The Seas April 2010 Carnival Miracle Feb2010 Rccl Oassis of the Seas Feb2010 Rccl Majesty of the Seas Nov2009 Rccl Navigator of Seas Sep2009 Hal Westerdam Nov&Dec2008 Caribbean Princess Nov2007 Sea Princess Nov&Dec 2006 Diamond Princess Apr2005 Rccl Navigator Dec2004 NCL SUN Nov2004 Visit of QM2 Oct2004 Carnival Victory Nov2003 Golden Princess Apr2003 Celebrity Mercury Nov2002 Carnival Elation Nov2001 NCL SKY Nov2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that is very personal to like or not a decor on a ship. Actually the Miracle has been one that I loved. The ship had nice vibrant colors and it was easy to get around. sea ya Eric Hal Westerdam March2012 Coral Princess Sep2011 Ruby Princess Nov2010 Sapphire Princess Sep2010 Rccl Adventure Of The Seas April 2010 Carnival Miracle Feb2010 Rccl Oassis of the Seas Feb2010 Rccl Majesty of the Seas Nov2009 Rccl Navigator of Seas Sep2009 Hal Westerdam Nov&Dec2008 Caribbean Princess Nov2007 Sea Princess Nov&Dec 2006 Diamond Princess Apr2005 Rccl Navigator Dec2004 NCL SUN Nov2004 Visit of QM2 Oct2004 Carnival Victory Nov2003 Golden Princess Apr2003 Celebrity Mercury Nov2002 Carnival Elation Nov2001 NCL SKY Nov2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO if I have to do I will :-) Atmosphere=Pretty much the same Bars=Slight advantage to Ncl Disco=Ncl and the way Buffet=CCL I am not so sure... We found food in buffet on CCL to be overcooked and oversaulted. MDR(dinner)= Pretty much the same Speciality Restaurant=NCL Shows=NCL for the big shows and more smaller scale entertainment Comedian=CCL Cabins= Pretty much the same except for the high end ones its NCL¸Carnival has larger cabins. Pools=Pretty much the same Staff=Same Passengers= They are pretty much the same and age group as well Ships Decor=That is pretty much a personal thing. NCL Ships with Nickelodeon have much better kids entertainment I quess for me that sums it. I would go with both lines anytime as long as the price and Itineray is good. added comments above.
