Note that this is just a comparison of my most recent cruising experiences, Disney and Carnival… as if there is a comparison.\u00a0 So, this is why I only cruise Disney (unless something that’s not Carnival comes up).<\/p>\n
~The Ships~<\/strong><\/p>\n I mean, come on!\u00a0 Disney ships are so pretty!\u00a0 I’ve often wondered why other cruise lines don’t utilize more color or design on their ships.\u00a0 I know they are under some Coast Guard guide lines, but it seems like they could get a little more creative.\u00a0 They just can’t have Mickey Mouse Yellow life boats, Disney dibsed those.<\/p>\n ~The Service~<\/strong><\/p>\n No comparison!\u00a0 I don’t know how Disney does it, but from the second you get on that boat everyone on staff knows your name, and by day two they all know your drinking habits and how you like your steak cooked.\u00a0 Our room attendant on our Carnival Cruise came into our room between 6:30 and 7pm everyday, and everyday we had to tell him that our dinner was at 8:30pm and to just come then.<\/p>\n ~The Towel Animals~<\/strong><\/p>\n I know this does not make or break a cruise and on its own doesn’t mean much, but I’ll let the picture do the talking.<\/p>\n ~Lounges and Bars~<\/strong><\/p>\n Which would you rather go to, a dark cozy lounge full of comfy plush furnishings and creative champagne cocktails or a piano bar full of florescent lights and abrasive colors where you can sit inside a giant hand while you enjoy a glass of sour mix masquerading as a Long Island Iced Tea?\u00a0 A top deck pool bar with bar stools in ankle deep water far away from screaming children, or a bar in a midship hallway that allows the cigarette smoke to gently breeze through the rest of the ship while couples in jean shorts grope each other?\u00a0 You get the idea.<\/p>\n ~Food and Drink~<\/strong><\/p>\n This is maybe the most important part of a cruise for me.\u00a0 I know it embarrassing, but I once gained 6lbs on a 5 day cruise.\u00a0 In the words of Walt Disney, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”\u00a0 The Disney Fantasy<\/a> offers 3 uniquely themed rotating dining rooms, 2 adult exclusive fine dining restaurants, a top deck buffet, 24 hour room service, and fun poolside pizza, hamburger, and hot dog spots.\u00a0 The Carnival Sensation seats you in one of two dining rooms where they serve the same menu of over cooked meats and unseasoned mashed potatoes every day or a buffet with a half hour line all day.\u00a0 However, I will concede that the pizza on the Carnival Sensation was edible, because I’m a big person (especially after my Disney Cruise).<\/p>\n![\"Why](\"https:\/\/magsonthemove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/image36-510x510.jpg\")
