We have 87 cruises under our belts. Probably 45 are Royal, 25 Celebrity and the rest spread out among other companies.
In the last six years we only took Royal and Celebrity but that is changing. We agree with others posting on this thread that RC is going down hill and getting much higher in price.
This year we have five cruises booked and only two on Royal. Last month we went on Carnival Venezia. We like the Royal ships layout much better but the Food on Carnival was much better in both selection and quality.
We are going on Princess and Cunard later this year and hopefully they will fill in the gap of the lapses of Royal.
