Winterstale Posted June 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Advice needed! A friend and I are going to do a girls weekend without the husbands! We are trying to decide between the Monarch of the Seas or the Carnival Paradise. RCI's price for the three day is about $100 less for an interior cabin guarantee - we don't really care about the cabin since we will hardly be in it. Anybody out there done both ships? Opinions welcome! Thanks in advance for any help you all can give! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjerryw Posted June 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I haven't been on either ship but I have been on identical ships from both cruise lines. I would say that the cabin on the Paradise is likely to be bigger than the cabin on the Monarch. If you're looking for a party, it's more likely to happen on the Paradise as well.

Winterstale Posted June 25, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have to admit, I've been leaning towards the Paradise...but I've seen pics of the Monarch on Webshots and it doesn't look that bad - we are two women in our 40's who basically just want to park it by the pool with a drink in our hand :D - we aren't big partiers at all but we'll probably go to the casino and things like that.

Rare silentbob007 Posted June 25, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Whew those cabins on Monarch are small, let me tell you. I enjoyed my cruise on her, though. Personally, I'd go with the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
