To make your own evaluation, here are some of the things you need to know about four of Carnival's vessels.
First, the Carnival Glory. The Glory offers cruises to the Caribbean all departing from Florida. It sails several times every year to the islands of the Caribbean, with rates ranging from $449 to $509, depending on the itinerary. Living up to its brand's glitzy reputation, the Glory ship features nightclubs and a supper club that has a reservations-only policy. Duty free retail shops and numerous restaurants can also be found in this ship. The almost-3,000 capacity ship has the Camel Club Casino for gaming enthusiasts and the White Heat Dance Club for those who prefer to dance the hours away. For sports fans who follow their sports teams' performance even during vacations, the On the Green sports bar is the perfect place. This ship has received high ratings for entertainment and for having some of the best staterooms designed for families. The Valor, another ship in the Conquest Class program of Carnival, is a 2,974-capacity vessel with 13 decks and a crew of 1,180. It has three pool areas and an exclusive supper club recommended to couples and honeymooners. It offers Caribbean itineraries sailing from Miami. Rates range from $429 to $529 for a seven-day cruise. The Valor is recommended to first-time cruisers mainly due to the surprises that the ship can offer, not least of which is the "Heroes" theme and interesting interior decoration of the vessel. It is also highly rated for its special services and amenities catering exclusively to teenagers. Carnival Legend is part of the Spirit Class. It departs from Tampa, Florida and offers several trips to the Caribbean every year. This ship is littered with nightclubs, lounges, shopping places and dining facilities. One of the highlights of Legend is its staterooms that offer ocean views and feature private balconies. The Legend is ideal for couples, particularly if they were to reserve a stateroom with a private balcony that could give them spectacular views and privacy. This ship is also the first among Carnival's fleet to offer flexible dining options. The dancing is also highly rated, with Satchmo's and Medusa's Lair being the most popular club spots in the ship. The Carnival Miracle is a medium-sized ship with a capacity of 2,124. It offers trips to the Caribbean and is also the ship used for the single, yearly cruise to Bermuda. Fictional characters dominate the theme of the vessel. Like other Carnival ships, Miracle has numerous lounges, clubs and other entertainment facilities, including Jeeves Lounge, Gotham Lounge, Phantom Lounge, Mr. Lucky's Casino and Sam's Piano Bar. The Miracle is highly rated for its accommodations for families, particularly children, with its beds deemed as some of the most comfortable that one can find at sea.
