 | Carnival Freedom, Carnival Cruise Lines (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.6)
Carnival Freedom is loud and proud. Even if plush is not your style, you can't help but be impressed by the decor and the detail in the design (themed "decades through the centuries", so there is a Victoriana show lounge and Sun King Supper Club).

Celebrity Solstice is the cruiseline’s first new ship for six years so the company put a lot of time and effort into the design and on-board facilities to ensure it made an impact yet is still 100% Celebrity in terms of food and service.
They certainly succeeded.

MSC Cruises’ third Musica-class ship, MSC Poesia, meaning poetry, is elegant and stylish, with lots of brass and marble, and not too much to shock décor-wise, although the Zebra Lounge, with its black-and-white striped carpets, chairs and lamps, is rather extravagant.
