We're looking at the ABC itineraries, none of which we've been to (why we like it). If we were doing Europe, we would go stictly by itinerary with no regard to cruiseline. But that is after a few land overseas trips, hopefully. We were supposed to spend 3 weeks in Israel in November of 2020, and well, you know how that went.
In our years of cruising, we've found more similarities than differences between the lines, though loyalists poo-poo that. In most cases, we can appreciate most of the differences, though a few we choose to do without.
When I used to spend a lot of time here on the boards (I don't have over 10,000 posts for nothing), I learned to combine the observations of others, and put more weight into some over others because I learned that our expectations and likes were more similar. Many times I can tell what's important to people without them coming right out and saying it. But not having cruised since spring of 2019, I'm looking for info in general and cruiseline specific.
