GrandmaHofmann Posted May 13, 2012 #51 Share Posted May 13, 2012 We have sailed on 23 ships: Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, and Disney. In July are taking our grandsons on a Carnival ship because of the water slides, so I can't speak to that line. I see negligible differences between Celebrity, Princess, and Royal Caribbean. It's pretty much the same product, though I prefer Princess because their loyalty perks are much better than the others. Disney--- far better in every way, food, service, entertainment, you name it. There is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaHofmann Posted May 13, 2012 #52 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Oh, yeah, I forgot-- we've sailed on NCL three times, too, and will again in November. I would pretty much lump them in with the other, though they handle freestyle better. RC does a stinko job with that. Since they quit serving mozzarella sticks, NCL has dropped in my estimation.

gooch47 Posted May 13, 2012 #53 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Don't laugh about the glasses thing. Mine didn't go overboard ... thank goodness ... but I came out a door on one of the top decks and the wind was so bad it blew them off my face. I had to chase them down the deck.

DebbieCruises Posted May 13, 2012 #54 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Don't laugh about the glasses thing. Mine didn't go overboard ... thank goodness ... but I came out a door on one of the top decks and the wind was so bad it blew them off my face. I had to chase them down the deck. I fondly remember wearing a formal dress and seeing my handsome husband in his tux. That was waaaaay back in the days of the beautiful NCL SS Norway. I loved playing dress-up for a night or two, but now free-style fits us to a tee. We are loyal to NCL for many reasons. I love so many things, but right at the top are the wonderful staff AND many wonderful people we have met on board. I have never understood why people want to belittle others to make themselves seemingly shine. OP, I giggled when I read your post and I appreciate your perspective. Thanks for the smile, and I wish you many beautiful cruises in the future.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeysgal Posted May 13, 2012 #55 Share Posted May 13, 2012 This thread is cracking me up. OP - as you will find out here on Cruise Critic, some posters take things wayyyy out of context and blow them out of proportion. Perhaps they are channeling their inner Thurston Howell the third and need to loosen their ascot a bit ;).

palmyrafan Posted May 13, 2012 #56 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I like to think that I'm a reasonably savvy cruiser. When I've spoken with NCL captains, they've advocated for FreeStyle dress even at their cocktail receptions. I find your denigrating reference to "freeslob" to be offensive and unnecessary. Clothes do not make the man, as the saying goes. . Well, of all the things you are and have done, we certainly can't call you humble, now can we? You REALLY need to lighten up. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
