RCRoyal Caribbean
The biggest ships at sea — a floating theme park for every age.
Steve's take
“Dollar for dollar, the easiest way to get a family on a ship. We steer first-timers toward the newest ships — Excel-class feels a full generation ahead of the older ones, often for only a little more.”

Four reasons people love it.
- Consistently the best bang-for-buck in mainstream cruising
- Celebration Key — Carnival's brand-new private Grand Bahama destination
- Fan-favorite casual food: Guy Fieri burgers, BlueIguana tacos, 24-hour pizza
- Short, affordable sailings from more drive-to home ports than any other line
The honest part: Skip it if you want a quiet, polished, grown-up atmosphere — Carnival leans party.
Two sailings to shortlist.
5–6-night Bahamas with Celebration Key from Port Canaveral
Newest private destination, easy Florida departure, gentle price tag.
7-night Western Caribbean from Galveston
Big value for Texas and the central US without flying to Florida.
