Are you looking for a budget cruise or something comparable to previous lines ??

If you are looking for something similar to the 3 companies you listed, my suggestion is a similar premium cruise line - Viking Ocean.

 

You didn't mention a preferred destination, so if looking for cheaper, any of the following mainstream Lines could be a good fit - HAL, Cunard, P&O -UK or Celebrity. Similar to your NCL experience, you need to consider that while the base fare of the mainstream lines are lower, your final bill could be higher than the premium lines.

Crystal and Sea Dream costs as much if not more than the ones OP is trying to move from. SD has really gone up next year because they have one ship that is doing CUBA for the whole season.

Azamara loyalty points count towards Celebrity BTW.
