- I KNOW I WILL HATE THAT CRUISE LINE.
People have a cruise line they love. They also have a cruise line they just know they will hate sailing on. Even though they have never gone on one of their ships.
Cruising costs too much to try something new if you are loyal to a brand that you already enjoy. For those of us who do not live near a cruise port and prefer cruises of longer duration, there is a major cost associated with planning a trip. Not going to risk it trying a different brand. Stick with what works for you. If you are new to cruising, do your homework before you book. Different cruise lines appeal to different demographics. I love HAL. It works for me. I don’t like mega ships, don’t need roller coasters or rock climbing walls. The itinerary and comfort of the cruise are more important than a huge crowd or party atmosphere. Therefore, certain cruise lines just do not appeal to me. Find the right match.
Ive been on multiple lines and they all have pros and cons. I try to find the best deal!
That's the beauty of competition. It's fun to chase and climb loyalty status, but if you want to save money... it's always best to be a free agent. Plus, every cruise line has its own culture similar to McDonalds and Burger King.
It's okay, Don. You can admit to loving Princess. It won't upset us.
Princess is my favourite also. I have over 120 Princess cruises.
@@cruisecrazy7066 😲Wow!
Princess entertainment was extremely poor! I did like everything else. @@cruisecrazy7066
I’ll admit I love the princess
Don receives considerable r enumeration by Princess for his influencer status. Make no mistake about where his positivity comes from.
I am spoiled because I do love the big ships. Although, any cruise is better than being on land
Princess is lovely. We love celebrity too a lot
After 8 cruises i found without a shadow of a doubt that the older crowd is FAR and AWAY the best thing about cruises....they are so fun to be around and can fit in better than the younger...who knew...and I love them for it.
Sure, 😂
Princess is awesome! Holland is great too. Celebrity is great until they choose to charge singles an extra charge.
Agreed - Celebrity will not get my business because not everyone can or want to cruise as double occupancy and it is unfair to charge extra a solo cruiser for potential spending a non-existing person may have spent
We were on the MSC seaside a week after they failed inspection and I kept seeing people bashing them but the cruise was fantastic. We saw people cleaning all the time. The food was great. The ship was beautiful. We loved the entertainment. Most of the people that were complaining were the people that would frequently cruise another line and people that wanted fast food service in the main dining room. We were on vacation. No need to try to have dinner in under 30 minutes. If that’s what you want go to the buffet.
I only avoid Carnival because of all the drunken fights you hear about on them. There are so many other cruise lines where I can enjoy the cruising experience and rarely encounter drunken behavior.
Lov the older smaller ships, Brands only come into play when I choose destination, I would pick smaller ship over any mega ship.
Yes, me too
Absolutely!
We will the on the HAL Volendam to Iceland, Greenland and Canada in July. Looking forward to a ship with only 1400 guests. It can go to smaller ports too.
Me to love Azamara
@@leslieoconnell2051 I'm doing that same trip. Love the smaller ships. And the destinations.
We love the smaller ships. We look at the destinations to determine what ship to take.
With UA-cam we now have "insider " info on the ships from you, Tony, and others that can help us make more informed decisions on cruise lines and ships that we have not previously experienced. That info helps break the stereotypes that some folks have about cruise lines. Thanks, Don!
All my cruises are on Holland America. Mostly because they have fewer kids, longer itineraries, and usually stay in port longer.
I've been on all their ships but the Rotterdam. They are all different. I was sad to see the Amsterdam go to Fred Olsen and lose that gorgeous clock.
I also only cruised once a year, now with prices the way they are, I can only afford every other year now.
To be fair to Fred, they've done a good job rebranding the ex Holland America ship. I've been on the Borealis (ex HAL Rotterdam) and it was lovely. Also been on the new HAL Rotterdam, also lovely!!
I'm not opposed to any except Margaritaville at Sea😅
MSC customer service is the worst. I'll never consider them again.
Agreed msc is terrible
Yep never. I've not been with them (or any yet) but they have too much negative press. That many people can't be wrong. Seen too much footage of nice people being treated horribly
I will agree with you and add Costa too that list.
Agree. We gave MSC a try 3 times. We will NEVER sail them again. If you ever have a problem with the bill, you can forget a proper resolution. Their back-in customer service and knowledge of the crew is horrible
@@Cruisebetty once was enough for me
‘reputations’ aren’t imagined, they’re earned over time by many experiences
So true!
@mebourquin I judge companies based on how they treat customers when mistakes happen. Norwegian has a clear history of screwing customers that should have received refunds for dishonest corporate practices
.
@@electrictroy2010I totally agree! I now refuse to give NCL one single penny!
@@electrictroy2010 Yup... NCL is one to fear. I got a quote from the Oceania website for an itinerary, and then was proceeded to be called and emailed every day, sometimes twice, about giving Oceania my credit card to secure the reservation. I didn't have the hear to tell the agent that I've seen Viking and HAL bend over backwards to sometimes help guests that didn't precisely follow the rules or made a mistake.... whereas NCL would have told said guests to "screw off" because you agreed to this in the NCL/Oceania/RSSC Passage Contract.
My mom took her first cruise ever on Virgin for her 80th birthday and absolutely loved it
Did Princess, Holland America, and then found Oceania. All were good but Oceania is our favorite so far.
Been on almost 20 cruises recently...have to honestly say, I've enjoyed ALL of them! Celebrity, Princess, Carnival and Holland! They all have pros and cons. Try to have fun wherever you are!!
Don we to love Princess Cruise Line and have traveled with them over 30 times, and have done NCL, a few times and Carnival many times but for us we look at itineraries first the cruise ship second we personally like smaller ships
Don, my husband and I had been to few Cruises on different vessel, and we like them all. It really depends on where we want to go, and the fares, they’re all great.
My husband and I really liked Virgin Voyages and we are both over 65. We loved it We saw people from 21 to 80 +
I don't have money growing on trees. We can only go every few years, so we can't spend money on an unknown. We only go on Royal Caribbean, but we do change ships. We've been on Mariner, Oasis, Freedom, Harmony, and Wonder. Taking the Serenade next year to Alaska.
Disagree. You can get a VERY good feel for what a brand is and who they cater too without having to take a trip on them. For example, we would never sail with Disney for multiple reasons. Cruises are WAY to EXPENSIVE not to make some judgements before you ever book.
I've never had an issue with the crew on a cruise ship However, I'm now 43 however when I was cruising in my 20s and '30s and you get in with the older crowd they tend to be entitled and think that the cruise ship staff should bend over backwards for them and take care of them before they take care of any other passengers especially younger ones.
There have been a couple of cruises that I've been on where the older cruisers seem to think that we should still be dressing up to the nines every night for dinner in the main dining room!!(If you want to dress up to the nines by all means go for it that's up to you and if you don't want (dress down Fridays) eating amongst you feel free to go ahead and go to a upcharge restaurant!
I cruise in March usually. I think it was 2019 I actually cruised the end of March into the very beginning of April. But most of the time it is either March or the first week in April.
it's ok , you already showed us you are a shill, that Princess bought you with bumps you up with upgrades, so I doubt you are ever fair on your reviews, and would never give you money as a vacation company. We cruise 4 times a year, and your prices are always higher. You've been getting by for far too long as a "famous cruise" guy, and your slanted views have been noticed.
I like that Princess has refundable deposits. Things happen and not being able to get that money back is terrible .
Just did 2 Explora Journeys. Fantastic ship, crew and food
What is the point of this post simply to make money through your followers? You are stating the obvious.
I like Princess, but hate Holland America. I LOVE Oceania. I have been on several ships of each.
You got it so right Don, each ship and each cruise company has its own vibe. I've been on Holland America, Princess, Carnival, and Viking and each has its pluses and minuses. Now that I'm older I enjoy Viking because of itinerary and it's just more sedated and less crowded.
For us, having a self-serve laundromat is a cruise requirement.
I’ve always said I’d never sail Carnival even if it was free due to all the stuff Carnival passengers have said when in port with them, the media stories, and pics of the rooms furniture wise don’t look as modern. I’ve sailed approx 34 times since March 2003 and NEVER Carnival.
Some of those reputations were well earned over an extended amount of time, and it will take years to repair them. There are cruise lines I avoid, not because I hate them, but they aren't my style. If there is a dress code for after 6pm, you won't find me on it. Did that years ago, and once was enough. More importantly I avoid mega ships, if I wanted to go to a resort full of kids, I would go to Disneyland.
I've been on multiple lines. Princess, Carnival, Holland America, Norwegian. We plan to try MSC next year. They each have a different vibe. We plan to go on Virgin at some point, to try it out. We plan to continue with a couple of these lines in the future, a couple not so much. It's nice to have a choice. 😊
Been on many cruises lines but have only had one bad experience-MCS DIVINA. Never again will I do any MSC.
I hope you like music blasting everywhere all the time.
I've been on many different cruise lines without issues. I was hesitant about Carnival because of stories and rumors. But I've not had any problems or seen any issues while being on several of their ships. Now that we keep getting free deals, it's hard going with anyone else.
I lost my Mom 3 years ago, a month after her last cruise on Princess to Alaska.
My Mom was 85 and loved Carnival Cruise Line!!!
She was always looked after by cabin attendant s and paxs always would talk with her and take pictures with her!
She loved Carnival!❤️
I believe different entertainment directors of different ships in the same cruise line will affect the experiences on the ships. The 1st time I cruised on the Ruby Princess, I didn't have a great time. I cruised on her a few years later with a different cruise director staff and had a great time.
Our 1st Princess cruise was on the Ruby Princess. It was much different than what we are used to. Several pros, some cons. We will still try their other ships!
I wish more lines would loyally match. Would be willing to try more lines
Virgin Voyages changed my views about cruising, I was very impressed by its status match program, the awesome service onboard and how it was different from the usual cruising. I didn’t expect I would fall in love with VV, until I went on it. Thanks to Resilient Lady. I had sailed on many ships, NCL, Princess, RC, Crystal etc. I still love them, but VV will be a cruise line which I will continue to sail.
They lost two of my luggage on the night before disembarkation and our reports went nowhere. Not a single call back even though the staff at the port assured us that we will get a call update on that day. Just an automated email that says luggage has not been found yet.
We like to mix it up with different lines ⚓️
I was on the Virgin Voyages. I liked the hammock on the balcony.
I liked the track and gym...and that was it.
i enjoyed getting off.
Virgin. Not our demographic.
Now if loyalty points could carry across other brands in the same company, that would be cool.
Mid 60’s here…our 5th Virgin cruise in Nov.
I really enjoy Norwegian. Always have enjoyed the ships.
NOPE. Norwegian has a history of screwing customers that should have received refunds for dishonest corporate practices
.
Same. Been on Escape, Joy, Prima and had a great time on each ship.
Prince failed every day from day one to day 10. They they found a way to screw every day!!! Yes once bit twice shy.
I agree with you Don. We enjoyed our cruise on Carnival and on RCL. We have sailed mostly on NCL, and since they came out with the Free at Sea Promotion, have stayed with them exclusively. We now have loyalty status and get some perks. We will never be able to sail often enough to build loyalty on the other lines, so we tend to focus on Norwegian.
I think it’s important to do your research to find the right cruise for you. I have cruise lines I won’t sail on because I know it’s not for me. It doesn’t make that line is bad, it’s just not what I’m looking for in a cruise. I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to find out I was right. With so many cruise lines out there it’s ok if I don’t go on all of them.
Now so many cruise lines are catering to families with young children the number of cruises I can choose has narrowed even more.
Never going on NCL period, not cause I don't think I would/wouldn't enjoy the cruise, but because I do not like NCL as a company!!
Can you explain what you mean?
@@mtnmann1775 I'll just summarize it up to they shady af!!
Cruising is expensive for most people and I think that is why a lot of cruisers stick with what they know. I love Princess and will mostly travel with them, but hope to try some others but really not sure I will.
It’s easy to say “Try this.” That’s a hunk of retirement money gone that i will never get back to use for something I’m more sure I’ll enjoy. My investments are very conservative and my retirement account is not raking in enough money for me to spend on expensive mistakes.
@@birbluv9595 My thoughts exactly. I want to get maximum satisfaction from my retirement.
It's funny that you mention the Summit and the Beyond. I've sailed on the Summit four times - more times than any other ship. I haven't sailed on the Beyond. I suspect I might like the latter, but am I willing to plunk down $2000+ on a ship/line that I might not like? That's a tough sell, and I understand anyone's reluctance to try a cruise line or ship that's personally unfamiliar to them.
We are willing to try different cruise lines, but since we spend so much time in the casino, we get really great offers from Princess, so we tend to take advantage of those offers. We are fine sticking with Princess. We did a short cruise on Royal Carribean recently and it just wasn't the same.
I heard MSC sucks!!!
Good point about different ships. My first two cruises were on Enchantment of the Seas. Then I cruised on Liberty of the seas. The difference was like night and day. I learned very quickly that I like smaller, more traditional ships.
Carnival seems to have the greatest disparity between ships. Their newer ships seem closer to the Princess/Celebrity/Holland America lines. Their older ships like the Glory are a motel 6 on water attracting Neanderthals.
Our first ever cruise was on the Serenade OTS out of NOLA, because we had heard that Carnival had a "party ship" reputation. Our next cruise was with family on the Carnival Dream, and we enjoyed it. Guess "reputation" is not always true...
so Don - the wife and I are not drinkers (ok, once in a great while) and we are certainly not parrotheads - but we decided we wanted to see what the Margaritaville Cruise line is going to be like so we are booked for Cozumel in December. I much prefer the princess experience but this worked schedule wise - and we could have gone carnival the previous day on basically the same cruise (and we like Carnival too). I think variety is the spice of life and trying one of these short cruises is going to be different.
I try carnival, holland, Ncl, Royal, Princess, Celebrity, and Azamara. The one I dislike the most are Carnival and Ncl, the one inconsistant Princess, the one ok Royal, the one better Holland and Celebrity and the best for us Azamara
Well I'm Gluten-Free and not by choice. I have Celiac. So how a cruiseline treats me and my diet dictates everything for me. Carnival was an awful experience for me, I pretty much starved all week. When I did eat their meager GF food offerings I became very sick. So either they either mislabeled or mislead. Plus whenever I mentioned my allergy I was treated poorly treated like I was a nuisance. I will never sail with them again.
On the flip-side NCL has always treated me well and never made me feel like a nuisance. My last Princess was a mix of both depending on where I was on the ship. But I'm giving Princess another try in January and I hope it's improved.
One of the ladies in my group cruise with Holland America had celiacs. HAL did a great job. She was able to choose her dinner the night before. They have a dedicated group of chefs who work on special dietary requirements. I didn’t each breakfast or lunch with her so I don’t know how those meals were handled for her but she was very pleased. They even surprised her with a cake for her birthday.
You are so right. Each ship is different. We only look at the itinerary
Just sucks because itineraries can and do change!
I like ALL the lines....In rating the LINES: (1) Celebrity, (2) Carnival, (3) NCL, and (4) Royal Caribbean. All time FAVORITE ships: (1) Carnival Pride, NCL EPIC, Celebrity Silouette, Celebrity Reflection, Carnival Valor, Carnival Sunrise, RCL Grandeur Of The Seas, RCL Enchantment Of The Seas, Carnival Legend.....going on a Princess cruise (Majestic Princess) for the first time in February 2025!....
So many ships! Variety is the spice of life.
Princess is my favorite. I love the vibe and service and food. Have never had a bad experience with Princess. Celebrity is my 2nd. Have had bad experiences on RCL, Norwegian, and Holland.
If we are not interested in other's opinion about various cruise lines, why listen to UA-camrs and their opinions? UA-cam content producers are here to sell cruises fundamentally. If they give me great evidence that I would not like a ship, why should I doubt them (unless they are taking money from the cruise lines).
I have been on a Costa and an NCL cruise out of my eight cruises. My experience with BOTH lines was so bad that I do NOT want to waste my money again.
I have had offers of very cheap cruises on MSC. However, the UA-cam videos that I have watched tell me it would be a bad match due to 1) overcrowded ships, 2) mediocre food, 3) the inability to get an early dinner slot unless you are in the Yacht club, and 4) the general disorder on the ship. I have booked five cruises in the next year, all below the US$100 pppd (fare+taxes and fees+ grats - OBC) on ships that I know that I will enjoy.
I have been on Royal Caribbean and would never go again, NOT THEIR FAULT, I did insufficient homework and found it far from relaxing, it was heaving and far too manic….never again… however, my daughter and family would love it…as I say, it was totally my fault and I choose more wisely now…
Waiting for Carnival to update their loyalty program like RCCL did recently. We will go on any ….almost any…group cruise. 7-10 days are our favs.
I cruise for the ships themselves. I like ships for their design, technology, and appearance. So… I have not cruised on Carnival as I don’t like the design or look of their ships. Princess offers a great experience according to everyone I know, and a musician friend of mine who works for them, but I find the design of their ships to frequently be odd and unbalanced. I love RCCL ship designs, with the exception of the Icon. Cunard’s QM2 is beautiful and I’ve sailed on her, but their other ships are just Carnival designs painted black. Virgin ships are ugly. MSC has some good looking ships like Meraviglia, and some ugly ones like Seaside. Everybody has their thing… this is mine 😉
It's still a cruise. You'll have a good time. No matter what cruise line.
The travel agent my mom's Alaskan cruise was with was bashing Carnival big-time. She didn't even mention them when people were looking for cruises. I had to question her how many Carnival cruises she went on. Naturally her answer WAS NONE. she went by "they're the party animal cruise" type answer. I then tod her, that it was ironic because I was going to be leaving in less than two weeks for my SIXTH cruise on Carnival and said that it was fabulous food, entertainment, activities, ports (Half Moon Cay).....I think I knocked her down a peg.
I would not cruise on RCI because the ships nickel and dining. The ship is also geared for sports like features. Sorry, not for me. A person said that the newer ships have ice skating rinks, which I promptly said I live in Canada and, if conditions are right, I can unwittingly ice skate in the parking lot of my condo on black ice, so, ya, not into ice skating on a ship. Or rock climbing, or zip lining, or bumper cars.....
I cruise Carnival for cost, ports, and just plain fun vibe. I do as much or as little as I want.....heck, they have Guy Burgers and Blue Iguana cantina, oooh and now Shaq 's big chicken, or Pig & Anchor...
We had such an awful experience with the Golden Princess back in 2013 to Alaska- cabin was dirty and customer service was horrible. The steak restaurant burned my steak and took too long to redo- the place was empty! We’d try it again with you!! Let’s do the new one- Sun!! We want to try the Britto experience because we are fans of his; also, the magical experience sounds amazing!
Well, I know I would not like Cunnard. If I can't waer a t-shirt, it's not a place for me. I'm alergic to ties and anything formal, I prefer Norwegian because thay are less formal.
I told my cruising friends to avoid Carnival. Don't cruise Carnival. Well, a friend cruised Carnival Inspiration to Catalina Island and Ensenada. She loved it. So, I tried her sister ship Imagination on the same itinerary. We had a blast. We will definitely cruise Carnival again. Now for NCL: I'm on the fence. A friend cruised the NCL Gem to Europe last year, and in her opinion, the ship was meh. But... I still remember my opinion of Carnival. So, I think I'm thawing in relation to NCL and will try the line.
Been on numerous cruises and differance lines. I agree they all have something different about them. However, Princess which we both enjoy, need to up the music variance. We are in our late 60's to mid 70's. You never get the bands playing the music of the 60,70 and 80. Considering our age group makes up a fair proportion of of the passengers especially on the long haul cruises 20, 30 plus day voyages.
I did the 3 and 4 day Ensenada cruise. The 3 day was a party cruise the 4 day was like any other 7 day cruise real mellow crowd. The 7 day Royal Caribbean out of Galveston was a more lively crowd.
I will NEVER go on Norwegian Cruise Line ever again. Went once had a very bad experience. I paid for an outside cabin. I got no window. I get to my room. It’s freezing cold 40° sit in chairs they break they wouldn’t even give me a different room. They couldn’t heat up my room and they offered me only $100 on board credit and $100 to come back on them. And I don’t like the freestyle dining, but that’s the least of the worries there if Norwegian Cruise lines was the only cruise line cruising I would never ever cruise again.
Do not like NCL and yes I've cruised with them twice. I enjoyed both cruises though.
I can say without a shadow of a doubt, if you are Canadian or American, do not take a Costa cruise. Just came off one end of May. It was the worse ship experience of my life! Europeans have different lifestyles and standards than Americans. I heard Costa got bad reviews, but I went in with a positive outlook, I could not wait to get off that ship. Never again. If I had a blog my title would be “Costa Toscana, what Nightmares are made off!”
I was a Princess only, but am sad to see how they are going downhill. I just returned from Sapphire Princess Alaska. The food court food was awful. It is not just me. I was part of a group of 16. All are experienced cruisers. All were disappointed. The MDR quality was fine, but they have reduced their selections too far. People with dairy allergies had very few choices. Yes, Princess accommodated them, but basically, they ate only one or two entrees, and fruit was only sweet option available to them. Wait staff was minimal in number. Cabin steward was running all the time he had so many cabins to take care of. It is good the scenery is so gorgeous because the ship was pitiful.
I have seen enough of the parties, fights, bad behaved children, drug sniffing dogs to know Carnival is not for us. And I will not throw my money out. I may not know carnival but I know us! I was willing to try Virgin but we are not hip and trendy. Not onto twerking in my underwear by the pool and partying. Cruises are too expensive to throw away thousands of dollars when I know we will love Princess. I would like to try MSC despite some bad reviews.
I prefer smaller ships, I really don't want to be one of 6,000. I was on Princess once, I found the lower staff wonderful, but the higher ups were not as wonderful.
Love trying new things as far as different ships, but when one doesn’t live up to expectations it’s easy to dismiss the whole line. For me it was NCL.
You know I've been on 7 cruse is right my third who's I took my family the Oasis of the Sea I went on dead ship for them my first time on Royal I did not enjoy it at all I got food poisoning they just wasn't what I wanted but my grandbabies my son my daughter we enjoyed it but I like carnival I'm going on 7-Day Cruise in November I'm going on a carnival magic that's the oldest ship but I'd rather be around older people and not as many people well I'm going to try to princess cuz you know if I'm not taking my kids I was on the Liberty in November last year for 3 days I had a ball but last year in June I was on the carnival horizon I enjoyed myself but not like I did the Liberty so now I'm going on the magic next year I want to go to Alaska animal make my way on up to Australia I've been traveling since 2019 that was my first time on ship they close to for a while but I've been back on no cruise ship twice a year now it just relaxes me
Been on 2 Royal Caribbean Cruises and I know 100% they are not for me. The food wasn't good on either of the ships and the food times as well as coming back from port and the buffet is closed at 3pm and the only thing open was pizza and hotdogs or paid options. I like the carnival brand however I'd like to try another carnival company brand or Virgin.
I think it's always a good idea to truly try something out fully yourself before hastening to make a conclusion/judgement, but at the same time it's also a good idea to do a bit of research so you have some inkling of what you're getting into so you don't have a totally different/unrealistic set of expectations and so disappointed/overwhelmed by that. A balance of some preparation together with keeping an open mind can be a good combination.
What about being afraid to try Carnival because you've seen so many videos of fighting/brawling on board and the shit ship incident. Are those valid assumptions?
We are 68 and booked on Virgin Scarlet Lady. Rockstar status
Keeping an open mind
Yes believe you need to try it to see if you really like it.
I have only been on one cruise with Holland America. I enjoyed it, so I like Holland America. I don’t an opinion on other cruise lines.
I've never cruised Virgin, and have no desire to do so. I've watched enough videos to know it's just not for me. I'm sure plenty of folks love them, but I won't be trying them out.
Hi Don, we are in Australia our fav cruise line is Princess but if I want an Australian feel to my cruise we sail with P & O Australia I don’t know what it is the ships have that layback ausi feel. But this not going to be this time next year I know they are part of Carnival corp. so I think Australians will miss these ships. But it will be interesting if any ships are down here year round like P & O were. Love your youtube channel.
One never knows until they sail.
I was on a Carnival Canada New England cruise that had an older crowd. A five year college reunion could book 100 cabins on a line that skews older
Im going on a virgin ship this summer. Despite them being an adults only cruise, their marketing and lingo for nautical terms is the most childish in the entire industry. Why does it have to be called a 'Mermaiden Voyage' when Maiden Voyage is a respected nautical term, but at the same time call us sailors. It's just very ironic.
I get not going merely by reputation and so forth, but lines clearly market to different audiences so why should we ignore how they portray themselves? I watch the ads for Virgin and they do seem to be promoting a vibe that for me is uncomfortably oversexualized. I watch the ads for Carnival and they do seem to be promoting loud and crowded parties that are not for me.
I only love Norwegian because I have never had a reason to try any other one. Why should I try another line and which one? I prefer not to consider MSC because of how they treat youtubers (although I am not one).
Don I would love to go on a group cruise .we are doing our First cruise in 2025 I am excited because it is a birthday cruise a sisters cruise and a first time cruise for me and my husband the others gave been on a cruise. My husband and I have done a Dinner cruise and we loved it.
My favorite cruise lines are Princess, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity.
We have sailed 3 lines and we liked them all although we do prefer Royal Caribbean.
I don’t like carnival and since they bought holland, holland has changed and not for the better.
We love Princess and have done a lot of cruises on them. We tried another cruise line and had lots if problems. However we are trying Regent Seven Seas later this year because of the itinerary.
Been on Navigator Eclipse and Pride of America all good ships but think Eclipse has been my favorite so far will be on MS Rotterdam in Nov
I think it is okay to not want to go on a particular cruise ship because of the features etc. that I do not care for personally on that ship. I want my limited cruise dollars and limited cruises that I go on to be on a ship and the destination that I would like.
Agree with this….after only cruising Royal for the last 20 years our next 3 cruises are on Celebrity, Disney and Oceania.
