My last one was carnival, but never done royal carribean. Norwegian is my favorite. I definitely agree on carnival, though.

There are a lot of cruise lines and I am not a Person who has done a lot of cruises but we have done three and we chose carnival this based on recommendations and wanted to try. I will say just from my standpoint and families standpoint we will stick to Royal Caribbean.
