I know that some members here cruise on different cruise lines.  I would love to hear (or see) comparisons in similar-type cabins on different lines.

We usually get an "ocean-view" or a regular balcony cabin....(not jr suites or suites).  I would love to know who has larger cabins when comparing the same type rooms.

On oceanviews, I think Princess & RCCL & HAL are very similar in size. 

I have heard that many corner or aft cabins have bigger balconies.

I've been reading that Disney's cabins are ~25% bigger than comparably-classed cabins on other lines. I'll find out for myself in September! :big grin:

I've heard that Carnival cabins are bigger than RCCL.  I've never sailed on Carnival, so I was wodnering if that was really true.
I do think that RCCL & Princess & HAL have similar sized ocean-view cabins.

And I remember the older RCCL ships like Monarch & Majesty.........that's back when we used to book inside cabins.......and talk about miniscule!!!!!!! :shock:

CCl's cabins are larger than RCI's. We book two cabins for the 4 of us on RCI and one on CCL.

Was this for a regular type cabin?   I know I've read Carnival's cabins are a good size, but I know that RCCL's are still pretty small, even on the newer ships.

I am comparing the OV cabins. They are very roomy and have lots of space for your luggage. Even on our RCI cruises, it seemed like we were always walking all over each other. But I like both lines equally and who is in the cabin all the time anyway?

Our balcony cabins on CCL have always been roomier than the comparable cabins on RCCL.
