We are planning our 1st cruise to the eastern Carribbean and cannot decide on which ship to go on. family of 4 wife, 2 boys 5 and 9 and myself. Like I said we have never cruised and I have been doing alot of reading since I joined this forum. So which boat does everyone prefer.

Carnival Liberty
Carnival Glory
Carnival Triumph
Carnival Valor

Which boat would the kids enjoy the most. Which one will be the least crowded....planning a early December cruise

Thanks in advance

I think you guys will enjoy anyone of those ships. Pick up a Carnival brochure from your travel agent and you can see the pictures of all the ships and get specifics on them. You can also check out their website if you haven't done that already. Also read the reviews at this site and that may help too.

The Liberty, Glory and Valor are all identical ships in their layout. Only the decor is different and on the Liberty there is an outdoor TV screen near the pool. The Triumph, I've heard, is very nice but it is the oldest out of the four ships and a little smaller. I personally prefer the newer, larger ships but any of these would do just fine for me. I was on the Glory a couple years ago and loved it. We are booked on the Valor for April of this year. I don't know that any ship in particular would be less crowded. I think it really depends on the time of year you go in order for it to be less crowded. We have always gone sometime during spring break when the ship is packed but have never minded it or felt overcrowded. Sounds like the time of year you're going is perfect if you are looking for less crowds. Kids are still in school so you should be fine.

It is your first cruise so you guys will love whichever ship you decide on...you can try a different ship for your next cruise because I'm sure there will be one!!!! If you notice most of us have several cruises under our belts because we all love it so much.

The Liberty, Glory & Valor are all the same class of ships. The Liberty is the newest and has a large outdoor TV (the other two don't have the large outdoor TV). The Triumph is a little older than the other three and is a slightly smaller version of the other three (about 9% smaller).
