We honestly have never found much of a difference between RCI and CCL. A bad experience can happen anywhere. The age demographic is much older on RCI is about it. We just prefer the funship line.

We've had multiple encounters with Carnival in the last 7 years. At first, we really enjoyed them...then the last 4 we've been on (1 room was flooded and couldn't get a replacement for 3 days until people disembarked on liberty, swing fell down with us in it on the vista with non compensated injuries, theft on legend, and having to downgrade a cabin on sunshine because our 1st room was undergoing maintenance and would not be ready for cruising). We cruise 4 times a year and have chose to explore other options.
