this was my families second cruise after sailing on the spirit this time last year and enjoyed the experience so much and thought the value for money was exceptional we booked carnivals other ship the legend. although the layout of the ships both identical and the decor all very simlar i could honestly say if you are a first timer and cant choose between the 2 ships i think the spirit offered that little more for the australian public.

Service was pretty well much on par but i just thought the red frog pub and some of the other bars did not match the spirits entertainment and atmosphere as the spirits bars.
