midwestchick Posted October 22, 2015 #27 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Welcome back, Andy. I would also like a comparison review since we are doing a Princess CA coastal next fall. I would much rather be on X but they are not offering a nice itinerary for dates that work for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didicruiser Posted October 22, 2015 #28 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Put me down for a comparison of the two lines Edited October 22, 2015 by didicruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted October 22, 2015 #29 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yet another for a comparison. We were on the Ruby in 2012, and found it short in comparison. Your thoughts would be wonderful. EW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagoffee Posted October 22, 2015 #30 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Andy, welcome home. I am happy to hear you had a nice cruise. I believe it is more difficult to do a comparison review since there are so many valuables, so either one would be great. Either way it will be a review from someone with a lot of Celebrity experience. We cruised on the Royal Princess in August 2014 and we also had a nice cruise.

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted October 22, 2015 #31 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Like the others here I would enjoy a comparison review, especially to Solstice Class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted October 22, 2015 #32 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Since I have less experience on Celebrity than on Princess, I'd prefer a comparison review. Welcome home! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afto Posted October 22, 2015 #33 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Welcome back, and I too would love to hear how you would rate Princess in comparison to Celebrity, when you have time. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spearmint Posted October 22, 2015 #34 Share Posted October 22, 2015 As one who only sails Celebrity, I would really like a comparison to Princess. I saw some percentage satisfaction results recently (cannot recall where:rolleyes:!!!) which had Celebrity ships each around 89% and various Princess ships from 65%-about 78%. I was really surprised at the difference. We have been considering trying Princess and HAL, but have been so reluctant to do so.... Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balconyaft Posted October 22, 2015 #35 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Andy welcome back! I've been wistfully looking at Royal Princess cruises but Celebrity 123 Go keeps pulling us back in line. Yes please provide a comparison so that I will know what we are missing. I was once upon a time a Confirmed Princess Cruises Only fan. Thank you!

flyingv4me Posted October 22, 2015 #36 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Welcome back! Add me to the ever growing list of those who'd like a comparative review. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv4cruises Posted October 22, 2015 #37 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Andy, If you post a comparison from your point of view please post it on the Princess boards as well. I have cruised on 6 different cruise lines and find very good things about all of them. Some things are better and or worse on each of the cruise lines and/or ships in a fleet. It is sometimes hard to be objective. Celebrity fans are among the most loyal and sometimes are very hard on the competition. I loved everything about the Royal Princess except the balconies or as I called them ledges! I was particularly interested in following your cruise because of Perry. From what I could gather all is going well for him! I wish him the very best. His new venue, although not as intimate as he would like, is at Crooners on an upper level of the beautiful Piazza,. It is a far cry from being shoved Into the corner of Cellar Masters on the Eclipse. I will miss seeing him on my April cruise on the Eclipse but will definitely hope to see him on a Princess ship in the future! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody14h Posted October 22, 2015 #38 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Would love the comparison. We haven't been on Princess in years but enjoyed it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbmrt Posted October 22, 2015 #39 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Also especially interested in entertainment comparison. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted October 22, 2015 #40 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Andy -- I would love to hear anything you have to say about Princess. With a stronger presence on the West Coast, we've often been tempted by the SeaWitch. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserhal Posted October 22, 2015 #41 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Welcome back Host Andy. Please compare the two lines and tell us all about Perry - how was he received, what kind of venue, did he do the same performance or change it at all, etc. Thanks.

Rare POA1 Posted October 22, 2015 #42 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If your review is for general consumption in the CC reviews, I'd recommend a standalone view. If you are posting it in either the Celebrity board or the Princess board, a comparison would probably be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ladylemondrop Posted October 22, 2015 #43 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Andy! Glad you enjoyed your cruise, I would love to hear about it, and yes, I guess compare to Celebrity, because thats what I am familiar with, interested to hear your views! And food photos if you have any?!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted October 22, 2015 #44 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Andy- Would LOVE to hear your thoughts on Royal vs "S" class on Celebrity and in general. We are set to sail on Regal Princess in 2 weeks(Royal's sister ship), our 1st Princess cruise, and would love to know what we might expect about food, entertainment, service.....etc...... Thanks for any info you are able to provide!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted October 22, 2015 #45 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi Andy Welcome back I guess with all the BBB and other changes at Celebrity, now would be a great time to compare the cruise lines, especially the specialty restaurants with the demise of the "Murano"' French table side service at Celebrity in favor of the less labor intensive Tuscan grille. So I am interested in the value and service proposition of both cruiselines. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISABELLA Posted October 22, 2015 #46 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Welcome back Andy, Glad you enjoyed your time off and got some rest. Would love to read your review in any shape or form. I know you will have a lot to say. Princess used to be my favorite cruise line about 10 years ago, but then we found X and rest is history. I would like to see if it is worth to try Princess again.

MoyCoy Posted October 23, 2015 #47 Share Posted October 23, 2015 We are west coasters and have sailed Princess just because they have a strong presence here , Would love to read a comparison with a newer Princes ship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 24, 2015 Author #50 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi Everyone, Thanks for your many kind comments. As always, it's greatly appreciated ! The masses have clearly spoken, and my insights will be mostly comparison when and where it makes the most sense. As work is incredibly busy, I plan to share my insights a few paragraphs at a time, over the next several days. Hope that works for everyone.
