We have really enjoyed Celebrity and are sailing once again this September on the Ascent. HOWEVER, the itineraries are boring, the IV rooms are a turn off but we will give it a try. Viking sounds perfect but would really stretch our budget. As we shop around for a March cruise we are considering HAL and Princess if the Ports of Call work for us. Our hesitation is that smoking is allowed in the HAL and Princess casinos and we have read negative comments of it wafting into the other spaces as well. Would definitely not like that.
