Coming back to Princess!

Hi,

would like some feedback about what is to love about Princess lately.

I started with Princess, switched to Celebrity (smoking policy, drink packages) for the last 4 years but I now see that Princess is onside with those policies.

 

We are thinking about booking a March 2017 cruise with Princess. I am Platinum Captain's Circle. Sell me on this please :)

If you liked Princess, other than the drinks package and smoking, and they've fixed them, why wouldn't you like it.:confused:

 

I've only had one Celebrity cruise so far, but in all honesty found about as much difference as between, say, two Princess ships. I thought they were very similar.

I have not sailed on Celebrity but have on RC. So I don't really know much about X. I sail on Princess for several reasons the biggest of course is that it is the LOVE boat! :D

 

Princess allows OBC from various sources to be additive while RCCL only allows one OBC. So it can be a money issue. I get three OBC on every cruise (FCC, Veterans and shareholder). For those of us in the higher loyalty levels, the free internet minutes are nice along with the usual perks. I like they keep the buffet open from 6 AM to 11 PM so that I can go get water, ice and my favorite ice tea anytime. I do love the pizzeria near the main swimming pool. I like the layout of the ships with windows looking out on most public areas so that I can feel like I am at sea. The whole attitude I feel on the ships is that it is somewhat laid back. My partner loves the afternoon teatime in the MDR. The pax are a nice cross section of older adults but not elderly like HAL.

 

These are a few of my reasons to sail on Princess. Hope it helps.

Let's turn the question around. You were with Princess then switch to Celebrity. What did you like or miss?

 

I second CCL's offering of multiple credits.

I like that our cabin is ready the moment we board, that there is fresh water in the pools (except for Ocean and Pacific Princess, I think) and that they have the most reasonable liquor prices of any cruise line I've seen.

 

Oh, and you'll get the complementary Internet minutes as a Platinum.

All of the above. Best Loyalty program and being able to combine ALL OBCs beats X's . We are elite on both lines. Princess gives veterans an OBC.
