We chose this cruise because it was r/t out of NYC and it didn't require that we fly. We are both seniors and after about 27 cruises, the ship is our destination. We are longtime Celebrity cruisers. We still enjoy Celebrity, but have been disappointed in the past few years with some of the cutbacks implemented by the new CEO. What we found in Princess was what we most missed in Celebrity. The service is impeccable, yet honestly warm. The food choices are endless and all delicious. The entertainment was excellent and to our delight, there is music everywhere, most of the time. The Piazza should be called the hub because it is a hub of activity. Lots of room to sit and enjoy a book, play games, or just listen to the always wonderful entertainment. The in-room TV has loads of movies, all the news stations live, and reruns of Love Boat episodes. The OBC programs are very generous. We are now Princess cheerleaders and already booked our next cruise on the beautiful Regal princess.
