My first comment on this site, so please be gentle 🙂
I've been on two RCCL cruises and one with Celebrity. I know people love RCCL, but both of my experiences (Caribbean both times, two different ships) were not great. I wrote off the first as a fluke, but after the second time, I was pretty disappointed. My husband and I went on an Alaska cruise with Celebrity last year, though, and had a *great* experience. Service was *way* better -- that was the main difference. Everything ran more smoothly, staff members were great, and we didn't run into any of the annoyances of both of my RCCL cruises (every soda machine broken or mostly empty, extremely poor communication about cancelled shore excursions, patchy wifi...). The differences made it far more relaxing, and we've booked another one with them for later this year.
I don't see myself going on an RCCL cruise again, but I'd recommend Celebrity to anyone.
