Comparison between Celebrity and Royal
Okie Cruiser replied to steverk's topic in Celebrity & SilverSea
As a general rule - I don't see a downside to either. -

DJ Vince ~ The answers to questions such as yours are really subjective. We started cruising in 2007 when we were in our......'s - let's just say we were younger. Sailed mainly on Carnival and RCCL but have sailed two cruises on the Equinox and one on the Reflection. We were on Carnival this past May, will be on the first sailing of the Allure out of Galveston on Nov 13th, will be on the Beyond B2B this coming Feb, and are booked on Carnival's Jubilee in Jan 2024 so it is obvious that we feel each line has it's own merits that entice us to sail with them. Were I still in my 20's and enjoyed all the non-stop activities on an Oasis class ship, I might think twice about X. They are very good at what they do but it is definitely a more subdued environment. We have had difficulties with the "shore based" administrative X staff but have never had anything but a great experience on board. I guess, bottom line, you might want to try a seven day cruise on X and make your own decision. I will have to say that after 33 cruises, the "worst one" we have been on was still Wonderful!! Good luck - but you really can't go wrong.

We had a B2B booked for last year in a specific cabin - one we had experienced before and really liked. Less than a week before sailing X moved us to a cabin, in the same category, that was non-standard, small, and in a very undesirable (in our opinion) location. We contacted X and they would not consider any alternate cabin. Unacceptable customer service. We cancelled both cruises - obtained FCC and rebooked B2B on the Beyond this coming Feb. We are hoping to get through that cruise and then I am doubtful that we will return to X. It is a real shame as we thought we had found our new favorite cruise line. I guess it will be back to RCCL. We will be on the Allure for the first cruise out of Galveston and hopefully that will go well.
