You are correct in your assessment of Celebrity. Just got off of Apex. Everything is much more expensive on Celebrity.

Happy Cruising!

How would you compare the food in both the MDR and buffet as well as the entertainment compared to the Royal class ships of Princess? Given the price difference, which would you travel again in the future and why?

Food is very subjective!

Out of these Cruise Lines,

E = Entertainment F = Food

P = Price

Celebrity E 2, F 1, P 5  Elite +

MSC        E 4, F 5, P 1  Diamond

NCL         E 5, F 3, P 4  Saphire

Princess E 3, F 2, P 3  Elite 55 cruise

RCI           E 1, F 4, P 2  Diamond +

 

We traveled in 2022 & 2023 on all of those lines 

2024 we have booked RCI & Celebrity as of now.

 

There is not much difference between them all. Personal choice. We consider ports, price, ship, perks, in that order.

 

Hope I answered your question.

Happy Cruising!

Thank you for responding...quite helpful what you did!! 

 

Food is indeed subjective but the context with the other cruise line helps me gauge your tastes (pun intended) even further - much appreciated.

 

Going on Discovery in Jan and am tempted to try Apex next year but am balking at the price. Apex entertainment looks refreshingly diff but was curious about the food (my previous Celebrity food experience was lower in ranking compared to Princess but was fascinated you rated that low compared to competing lines..again I agree it's subjective).
