smeck Posted September 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Please forgive those loyal to Royal which I count myself. I just booked a European cruise on Princess. The ports were to good to pass on. If Royal only offered the same itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhuntington3 Posted September 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Do as you please. We've sailed on Carnival and Celebrity before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymbakitty Posted September 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 23, 2014 There are those that book based on ship (cruise line), then itinerary. And there are also folks that book the same cruise over and over again. But a lot of folks book by itinerary, then by cruise line, so you are in good company. For us, we'll probably never cruise on the same ship, no matter how great the itinerary (too many ships to experience). But we've cruised RCI, Princess, Celebrity, HAL and even Carnival. Enjoy!

Langley Cruisers Posted September 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sweetie, enjoy your cruise! We have cruised with Princess twice and there were many things we loved about it.

OCruisers Posted September 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2014 We enjoy cruising on several different cruise lines (certainly including RCCL) from time to time. Princess offers a great cruise experience. Go and ENJOY! :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted September 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Go and enjoy yourself. We love Royal Caribbean but we also love Princess. We have a Princess cruise in December, and a Royal Caribbean cruise booked for next September. We pick our cruises based on the itinerary. In the near future, we plan on trying HAL. Have a great time. Take lots of pictures. Please come back and post a review when you return. Happy sailing. It's a great way to see the world!

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted September 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Possibly the major reason for sailing one and only one cruise line exclusively would be to attain the highest, most exalted levels of the cruise line's loyalty program which brings with it some valued perks. If attaining the highest loyalty status is not important, there is no compelling reason to be true and loyal to only one cruise line when others have attractive features too.

The ports were to good to pass on. If Royal only offered the same itinerary. I agree that the Princess itineraries are far superior to Royal's offerings. Have a great cruise.

jayblue Posted September 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Forgiven! The one thing I've learned from some of the best cruisers on CC is that I should not limit myself to any particular cruise line. They all have strong points; they all have weak points, too. Royal will always be my home cruise line. But, once I get over the novelty of the huge mega ships, I am going to start looking for semi-unique destinations. I mean, why limit myself?

rjrice1 Posted September 23, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You will love Princess.... There cafe (buy a coffee card.. it will be 15 latte's and etc but unlimited coffee throughout the cruise) you can get your snacks there all day. The best chicken salad ever... omg the cookies fresh out of the oven. yum yum. Enjoy it is your money your cruise. Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaofwonder Posted September 23, 2014 #23 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I did the same thing, but jumped over to ncl. Amazing itinerary out of Venice and the price was lower than royal's 7 day out of Venice. The ncl visits many ports I've always wanted to go to. It's a 12 day and visits: Istanbul Ephesus, Athens, Mykonos, Naples, Rome, Florence, Toulon, and ends in Barcelona. Plus an overnight in Venice at the start.

wendyatpml Posted September 23, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 23, 2014 We are also loyal to RCCL but decided on the Princess British Isles cruise on the Ruby Princess this past August because of the itinerary. With that said, we would never go back on a Princess cruise again. We had a veranda cabin. The cabin itself was really small and it didn't have any kind of sofa in it, just one chair. The bathroom was really tiny. The shower was very small and only had a shower curtain. The buffet was about 1/4 the size of any RCCL ship and the choices were very few. The food in the buffet was just fair. Try it, you may have a different experience. I do agree though, Princess does have better itineraries but I feel the ship counts too.

Creepella Posted September 23, 2014 #25 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Nothing to forgive. I think most of us are in "open relationships" with our cruise lines. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
