Im going on a cruise for my 16th birthday and i dont know which cruise would be better either carnival or rc?

Quick Comparison Price: Splendor Ship: Mariner (hands down) Activities: Mariner Service: Equally good Food: Splendor (barely) Teen fun: Mariner: more to do, two teen lounges, and several other innovations I have been on 4 ships that are in Mariner's class (exactly the same). They are excellent

I have been on over 30 cruises and I can tell you that you will have a great time on either of those lines. Carnival is a little cheaper, but RC has a lot more to offer and would be enjoyed by a wider range of people. If you mom would like some help deciding, have her contact me through my website below. There is no charge for my services and I can be a lot of help and find you good rates.

I'm looking for a cruise, too, and after researching Carnival and RC, and reading reviews. Carnival is less expensive then RC. But, some Royal Caribbean ships have a few more 'highlights' then Carnival. Personally, I would suggest Carnival Splendor over Mariner Of The Seas ... Splendor sounds a little funner after reading about it, then Mariner Of The Seas.

If you can get hold of a Berlitz Travel Book (from a library maybe) called "Ocean Cruising & Cruise Ships" it will give you full details of both ships and what they offer.
