Nice topic, Ben.
Princess 1. Personal Choice dining 2. fresh water pools 3. adult only swimming pool 4. few announcements 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 1. Freestyle dining 2. entertainment 3. macadamia nut cookies 4. relaxed atmosphere 5. nice bands, vocalists Carnival 1. entertainment 2. their wonderful buffets 3. stand-up comedy 4. the best pizza at sea 5. their wonderful buffets 6. the best lobsters 7. did I mention the buffets? Becca -----enjoys every cruise... Benjamin Smith wrote: 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). Ben |

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. Princess 1.

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. :-) Becca ------loves cruising on Princess... -- dillon Women should be obscene and not absurd. |
