Fourseventeen Posted April 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Unless Carnival is paying your salary...who cares! :D I keep cruising with them because im so close to Platinum. If I wasnt close to platinum I would consider catching a RCCL ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpacheco212121 Posted April 8, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted April 8, 2010 It's not that, I just have so much fun on there ships and get to know the people so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrod Posted April 8, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I wouldn't feel bad. Princess is a very nice cruise line. It just has a different "feel". Go for the itinerary first, then the cruise line second. Anyhow, Princess is owned by Carnival so you don't have to feel like you are two-timing.

toledo_cruiser Posted April 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Princess is part of the Carnival family, so no harm, no foul. Besides, Carnival doesn't own you so you're free to cruise on other lines. Seriously, I think it would be a blast to try other lines. We tried Princess in '08 and loved it. I found some things I liked better, and it helped me clarify what I liked about Carnival. My cruising group wanted to try RC this fall after watching the Oasis launch, but prices kept us on Carnival again this year. So I say don't worry about guilt, just plan on having a great time. Oh, other lines may have itineraries Carnival doesn't cruise.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srlafleur Posted April 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I own some shares of Carnival, but I choose my cruise by price and itinerary. I don't feel disloyal in the least. I also own shares of Southwest, but it doesn't prevent me from flying another airline if the schedule, price and itinerary are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted April 8, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I dont understand why people feel "guilty" since Carnival doesnt care about keeping you loyal ... It doesnt sound like guilt so much as just being scared to try something new to me. Carnival owns Princess, so the money goes into the same pot in the end.

Fourseventeen Posted April 8, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I sure you wont have any problems finding people who you click with on the Princess cruise. If your a social person like myself you can meet people ANYWHERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzkitty Posted April 8, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I Love Princess!! Carnival is also a good cruise-line with great prices. You might find Princess is "Where You Belong" lol. Enjoy your cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruinlvr Posted April 8, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I fell your pain Cpacheco. I'm going to book a MR cruise on the Spirit because I love the Z port and Carnival is the only one going there this year. I've always done Princess and love it, but now I get to feel like a new cruiser learning all things Carnival. And I will miss my free internet from Princess.

LHP Posted April 8, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Don't feel bad...they are all the same "family"... :D In fact, we will be doing the same thing come June 23rd (2011) (British Isles) (sorry Carnival, you don't have a ship there.....);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted April 9, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Go and have a great time. I like both lines. . . and others as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmax Posted April 9, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It's good to try a different cruiseline and learn different ship layout, people, food, entertainment. We went on our 1st cruise in 2000 (RCI), have had 6 RCI, 3 Celebrity, then tried Carnival (6), just had our 2nd Princess cruise.....cruising Carnival again next month. We have loved them all, all for different reasons. I did miss having the Carnival Mongolian Grill and frozen yogurt on Princess, but love Princess sorbet in dining room - wish they had it all day! Check out the International Cafe on Princess - great for quick salad, sandwich, breakfast pastry, and warm cookies in the afternoon (no charge, except for gelato). Enjoy!

CalmCruiserNC Posted April 9, 2010 #18 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Carnival owns Princess, so they don't care. We've enjoyed our cruises on Carnival and Princess (and every other line for that matter!) so just plan on things being a little different (a lot less "colorful" and a lot more British) Have fun!
