Celebrity wins hands down for us. We have a Princess cruise in September for the British Isles to use up FCC and then we’re done. Number one is that smoking is allowed in the casino and the smoke drifts into other areas. They also have an indoor smoking lounge and every time the door opens the smoke hits you in the face. It disgusting.
Food is now mediocre since the lockdown. The buffet is terrible. The staterooms are small with tiny bathrooms and tiny shower stalls with a tacky shower curtain. You have to upgrade to a mini suite or suite to get a sofa and chair, otherwise you drink or eat on the bed or at the desk. Balconies are very small, unless Caribe deck on Grand class. You have to sit sideways to stretch your legs out. Oversized balconies are few, especially on Royal class.
Yes, Princess is less expensive and there’s a reason for that.
