Carnival Breeze vs. Carnival Valor vs. Carnival Freedom: How Do Carnival's Three Galveston Based Ships Compare?

1/7/2017

 
Picture
UPDATE August 2019: This post is now considered outdated. The Carnival Breeze has been replaced by the Carnival Vista. Also, the Carnival Valor has been replaced by the Carnival Dream. 

Currently, the Carnival Breeze, Carnival Freedom, and Carnival Valor sail from Galveston. This combination of cruise ships gives Galveston cruisers many itinerary choices and options for cruising. The Carnival Breeze has been sailing from Galveston since April 2016. The Carnival Freedom has been sailing from Galveston since February 2015. The Carnival Valor became the most recent Carnival ship to reposition to Galveston in December 2016. 
      While all three of these ships are Carnival Cruise Line's ships, there are a few differences between the three. The Carnival Valor and Carnival Freedom have many similarities because they are both a part of the Conquest class of vessels, but when these two are compared to the Breeze there are some differences. 
         I decided to put together a chart that will compare some basic information, amenities, and features of all three of these ships.
