Comparing Cruise Lines

We have been on 4 different cruise lines since we started cruising in 2014. 

Disney - Magic

We went on the Magic and it was my first cruise.We went from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Barcelona, Spain. It was a 14 night cruise. We thought that the Disney cruise was spectacular. Everything was perfect and the kids club was really cool.

Royal Caribbean - Serenade of the Seas 

We enjoyed cruising so much that we went on another cruise later that same year (2014). It was a 7 day cruise that started and ended in New Orleans and went through the Caribbean. The Royal Caribbean ship had a really good basketball court my Dad and I played every night.

Holland America - Eurodam

In the Spring of 2016 we went on another Trans-Atlantic cruise from Florida to Barcelona - this time on Holland America. My favorite spot on the Eurodam was the Crow's Nest. There were a bunch of windows and a bunch of seating it was beautiful to look at and it was where we played trivia and other games during the cruise..

Norwegian - Star

In the Spring of 2017 we went around the world. We flew from California to Singapore, then got on the Norwegian Star. We went from Singapore to Venice, through the Suez Canal. We really liked the buffet on the Norwegian Star because they served food from wherever you were visiting so when we were in India we got to eat Indian food in the buffet and when we were in Greece we got to eat Greek food. The people on Norwegian were also really nice.

We are already planning our next cruise and it will be on Royal Caribbean again, but this time on the Mariner of the Seas. I can hardly wait!
