5. nice padded chaise lounges
6. more entertainment options than I can do
7. good selection of movies
8. quiet atmosphere
9. Movies Under The Stars (on some ships)


NCL

Carnival

If you tend to pick a cruise line as a priority, please name 4 or 5 top
reasons why you pick a cruise line.

For me Celebrity

1. ship design (Horizon and Century class only)
2. ambiance
3. minimal announcements
4. traditional dining with dress codes
5. onboard service style


HAL

1. traditional dining with dress codes
2. pool design and deck areas on pre-Vista ships
3. opportunities for ballroom dancing
4. service style

RCI

1. electric feel (esp. Voyager ships)
2. fun elements
3. well defined
4. varied activities

Thinking of DELTA STEAMBOATS for steamboat paddlewheel feel, bed and
breakfast decor, opportunities for jazz, caliope. CRYSTAL for reported
high level of product delivery and consistency. CUNARD for its lineage
and tradition if it is at all detectable currently. P&O for British feel
and ship design (ORIANA and AURORA).

I would have to agree about Princess. First go around I took the advice
of a friend, plus information from my travel agent. I am glad that I
did. I very much like Princess. I like all the options below, although
I have yet to see a movie under the stars.

The Movies Under The Stars was fun. I watched the movie right after
dinner, but people around me were eating popcorn, fruit, pizza. You can
order a drink if you want one.

AFAIK, Movies Under The Stars is avaialable on Caribbean Princess, Grand
Princess and Sea Princess. They showed movies all day too. I had lunch
while I watched Grease.


Consider the subtle humor in what you just wrote. :-)
