I have only cruised twice, so not sure how helpful I can be.
1. Carnival Glory--New York to Canada.
Family group of 10, ages toddler to grandparents.
Fantastic experience.
Great service by cabin stewards and in dining room.
Sparkling clean everywhere.
Fun karaoke!
Huge range of activities, so many choices for all ages.
2. Celebrity--Miami to Caribbean.
Just me and my husband
Extremely disappointing
The Purell dispensers outside most elevators were empty--really a bad thing for safety/health. I reported this 3 times to the same crew member. No dispense was refilled. I started carrying my own Purell everywhere.
The ports of call not great, especially Roatan.
Friendly passengers.
The quiet atrium pool area (don't remember the name) that had the healthy food choices and special waterpools was nice.
Overall, I would never choose Celebrity again. The Carnival crew seemed to take a lot of pride in the ship and much attention to whatever you need. Always smiling, always courteous.
