Which Cruise Line
 
My husband and I want to go to the Western Caribbean in November and would prefer to leave from Florida. We do not know whether to select Celebrity, RCCL, or Princess. We would prefer to spend 2 or 3 days just at sea. We are in our late 40's, first cruise, want nice cabin with deck, good food, rerlaxed atmosphere, good shore excursions and a fun time. Do not want a party ship. What do you recommend.

Definitely Celebrity-The ships are very nice,the food is fabulous,service good-get a room with balcony if budget allows.--we did Eastern Carib. on the Century last year and loved it---very relaxing and great dining--much better than Princess food and million times better than RCCL--RCCL has sllightly better evening shows. We will be going on Celebrity's Millenium this year!

<BR>Definitely either Celebrity or Princess. Did the western route on the Millennium and loved it - huge aft balcony cabin and the food and service were outstanding. I have also done Princess to the Eastern Caribbean on the Grand Princess - and that itinerary had 3 sea days and one private island day - the only ports were St. Thomas and St. Maarten. I loved Princess also - service was a little less formal than on Celebrity, but I liked the fact the the Grand had an "adults only" pool, the pools and hot tubs were open 24/7 except for routine maintenance, and the pasta dishes were superb. You can't go wrong with either line.

I am 44 and my husband is 33. We took our first cruise last Sept. on Celebrity Century. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG! <BR>It is luxurious, has impeccable service, magnificent food, great ports-of-call. We talked to several people on the cruise who had cruised over thirty times each. Without exception they said Celebrity was the best and that we wouldn't like any other cruise. <BR>We're planning our second cruise with Celebrity right now. We had an ocean view room (the window is huge) on Vista Deck. Write me at [email protected] if you want more info.

I have not sailed on Celebrity, but have sailed both Princess and RCCL. Princess gets my vote. A balcony stateroom if your budget allows it . . .

I have never sailed on Celebrity but have heard good things about the cruise line. <BR>I would recommend RCCL. I just returned from a Princess cruise to Alaska and compared noted with a friend who sailed with RCCL. <BR> <BR>RCCL beats Princess in service, quality, and quantity by far!!!
