I can only speak for Royal Caribbean, which my DH and I have gone on twice (the last time was last year for our honeymoon). While it is a little bit more expensive, it it soooooo worth it! They have so much planned to do on board that you just can't get bored! The food is fantastic! Both times we talked with people who had done cruises on the other cruise lines, including Carnival, and multiple people have said, hands down Royal Caribbean is the best! We have definitely become cruisers!!

Holland America is actually owned by Carnival Cruises.
I've had a tour of one of their ships, It was gorgeous! Never sailed with them though.
Carnival owns Carnival, Holland America, Cunard, Princess, Costa, and about 3 other lines, but they're run separately and each line has its own niche/feel. I think a lot depends on age and what you like to do. I liked Carnival when I was younger, but it's not the right fit for us now.
