I've been on 3 cruises since 02 rotating between Royal and Carnival. I really enjoy Royal better with the bigger ships and more activities. We usually do a family cruise with between 12-50 people depending on whose going. Our last cruise was on Carnival in 06 and only cost around $650. We always go the week of Thanksgiving and this year we plan on going on Royal, but OMG, the prices are outrageous! We want to travel on the FOS or the LOS which I know are new and bigger ships, but I didn't expect such a jump in price!! I haven't gotten a quote less than $950. I know it's been a couple of years since we've been on Royal, and I was expecting the prices to be more, but not by this much. Guess I need to keep looking.
