What happens when you sail on two different cruise lines back-to-back and compare them side by side?
In this brand new cruise series, we’re doing something we’ve never done before.
First we board Allure of the Seas with Royal Caribbean in Port Everglades at Fort Lauderdale.
Then one week later, we board Carnival Celebration with Carnival Cruise Line in PortMiami.
Royal Caribbean is familiar territory for us. We’ve cruised with them many times. But Carnival? That’s a complete wildcard.
In this episode we compare:
• Embarkation at two of the busiest cruise ports in the world
• First impressions of both ships
• Windjammer buffet vs Guy’s Burger
• Cabin tours
• Sailaway from Fort Lauderdale and Miami
• Main dining room dinner comparison
• Night time entertainment
You’ll also see the very different onboard atmospheres.
From Royal Caribbean’s relaxed sailaway to the high-energy party hosted by cruise director Joey Boyes on Carnival.
So which cruise line will win the showdown?
Stay tuned and find out.
