Galveston's New Rivals Compete:  Carnival Breeze vs. Liberty of the Seas

8/5/2015

 
Galveston Cruise TerminalCruise Terminal 1 - Galveston, TX
          Galveston's cruise industry will have a shakeup of ships starting in the late fall of 2015 and into the spring of 2016. Both of Galveston's year round cruise lines, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, are making some ship changes that will increase the number of passengers sailing from Galveston's port. The Carnival Breeze will replace the Carnival Magic and the Liberty of the Seas will replace the Navigator of the Seas. Both ships will regularly depart on Sunday and sail on 7 day cruises (with a few excecptions), but the question always arises about which ship is better. My goal of this post is to help you compare the basics of these two ships.

Docking in Galveston
        Typically, Carnival ships use Terminal 1. The Carnival Breeze is replacing the Carnival Magic, which used Terminal 1. Most of the ship's cruises, with a few possible exceptions, will depart Galveston on Sunday and return the following Sunday. The Carnival Breeze will mostly sail on 7 day cruises. 
        The Carnival Breeze will begin sailing from Galveston in May 2016. 
Liberty of the Seas

Docking in Galveston
        It is very typical for Royal Caribbean ships to dock at Galveston's Cruise Terminal 2. The Liberty of the Seas is replacing the Navigator of the Seas, which docked at terminal. The Navigator of the Seas, with a few possible exceptions, will sail on 7 day cruises departing Sunday.
        The Liberty of the Seas will begin sailing from Galveston in November 2015.
            While both of these ships are of two different cruise lines, both have exciting things to offer Galveston's cruisers. I will be writing more on Galveston's cruise industry as time continues.
