Each cruise line has its own vibe. New celebrity is pretty different from old celebrity, especially if you get an infinite veranda. Both offer lots of relaxation and good food. Happy travels 🦩
I'm on the enchanted princess in the carribbean. It's the 3rd voyage for the ship. The sky pricess on also sailing the carribbean and is only 2 years old so really princess does have newer ships in the carribbean.
We’re going to be cruising on the Enchanted Princess at the end of next March, out of Barcelona. It’s our first time with Princess Cruises. We’ve been on Celebrity many times over the last dozen years, we just find that they satisfy our needs all round. But we’ve also cruised with Royal Caribbean once. It was nice but there were too many people! What I’m wondering is if Princess still have the traditional “formal night”. Celebrity discontinued the formal night and we found that it suited (pun intended!) us not to get all dressed up for one night. Having said that, we are very into smart casual attire. Very smart casual, throughout the cruise. Thanks 😊
I think if you're going to compare two cruise lines you do a general and not specific comparison to one class of ships. That is, you're talking about 4 MDRs on Celebrity yet that's on 4 out of 13 cruise ships the line operates (and that's not including the excursion ships). They all have MDRs, buffets and certain specialty restaurants but it gets tricky because Murano, I think their best one, is on the Solstice class, 5 ships, but not the Edge class. And then you say well Princess has "standard" staterooms but what about the Sun Princess? it's their newest class of ships and things change a lot about that ship that start to mimic a lot that is in Celebrity's. I see zero footage of the Solstice ships that have uniqure features like real grass on the deck, a suspended real tree, and ice on the surface of its Martini Bar It's really hard to compare two lines because each class is different. You're basically comparing the Edge class ships to Princess. What about Solstice? They have a huge following and are quite different from the Edge class. And I think Royal Princess is quite different from Sphere and the Royal class has a huge following. And it is Princess that has the more impressive tech with the medallion vs. Celebrity's app. It does more. In general, the products I think are of similar quality. Both can be up and down with food and service and communication but when they're both on their A games, but are premium mass market products and it comes down to preferences which one may be a particular cruiser's preference.
To be honest, I’ve always liked Celebrity Cruises. The first cruise I took was on Celebrity Eclipse, a lovely ship. A beautiful ship. After 3 more Celebrity cruises, I tried Princess. What a disappointment! Almost everything about Celebrity was better, except the staff who were the one saving grace of Princess. Having just completed another Celebrity cruise on Beyond, I’ve decided it’s time to give Princess another try. Celebrity standard has slipped and I’m not sure it’s for me any more…🤔
Interesting experience, I think in the current client of the cruise restart and staffing that there is MUCH more variability in cruise lines today. Lots of crew is new and may come from many other lines with different standards so I think its a bit of a hard time really for us customers. That said, We did enjoy both but we did like how Celebrity had a good mix of unique restaurants and modern things (like Eden) where princess is very "Traditional" like a Cunard cruise but less fancy :). Thank you for sharing your experience and commenting, happy travels Tom! 🦩
Great comparison. I’ve never sailed with Celebrity but I would love to try them sometime. 🚢 ❤️
We really enjoyed our cruise with Celebrity. Thanks for watching and commenting

My wife and I are in our early 50s and have only sailed on Carnival. But we are both ready to try another line. Maybe Princess or Celebrity.

Very helpful comparison, I'd be interested to see an NCH vs Holland America.
That’s like Target vs Nordstrom.. at sea

I'm loyal to Royal and would book Celebrity most likely, natural progression.

I thought Princess did away with traditional dining?

This is an advertisement for Princess. I can't be bothered but if someone can do a time spent talking about Princess V Celebrity it'd be interesting.
Well thanks for watching Greg, happy travels! 🦩 we appreciate you, your comment and your opinion.
