Advice please from those who have cruised multiple lines

I'm using a tablet and can see the expanded signature section below the +quote, maybe it's a set up thing?

We have cruised Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Princess.  We primarily cruise Princess.  We are in our mid 50's and love the quieter, laid back vibe on Princess.  I think your parents would really love the entertainment on Princess, especially the music in the Piazza.  There is definitely an older crowd.

I would also recommend  the Yacht Club on MSC.  The Seaside and the Meraviglia would be your better choices.  Your options are suite, balcony or inside.  The ship within a ship concept is very nice and substantially  cheaper than the Haven on the newer NCL builds. With it's  own dedicated restaurant, bar and lounge, the only reason to leave the Yacht Club area is to visit the casino or see the shows post dinner. Best of luck with your decision.
