I’ve sailed both, and honestly it depends on the vibe you want. Carnival felt more casual and upbeat—perfect for when my friends and I wanted a fun, budget-friendly getaway. Royal Caribbean, on the other hand, impressed me with bigger ships and more “wow” features like skating rinks and zip lines. My Carnival cruise had better late-night entertainment, while Royal Caribbean had better shows overall. Pricewise, Carnival usually comes in cheaper. If you want a relaxed, lively atmosphere, Carnival wins. If you want big-ship thrills and more polished experiences, Royal Caribbean edges ahead. I’ve enjoyed both for totally different reasons.
