Thought we would try Celebrity as we have done eight cruises with Princess and have booked two more. We prefer Princess and feel more comfortable with them. Celebrity offered drinks upon arriving on deck which was a nice touch. On both ships food was amazing and MDR waiters were exemplary. The main food buffet is much better on Celebrity and takeaway option for coffee was a plus. They also use ceramic cups and Princess use plastic cups for coffee and tea which is not as nice. The deck space on Princess is huge and has an amazing atrium where Celebrity’s foyer is very small in comparison. Entertainment space is better on Princess and there are plenty or bars and seperate areas to escape to. We never waited in line for dinner on Princess whereas Celebrity was poorly organised as shows finished and the dining room wasn’t open for another half hour or so so queues built up. Bars were on the side of walk through areas so it was annoying having crowds of people walk past constantly and if music played and people danced there was no room. Drinks packages were pushed onto you and you were continually asked to dine at a specialty restaurant. I think the restaurants took up a lot of deck space. Areas for entertainment were very small and the entertainment crew were not a patch on Princess. It was worth a try but disappointing for us. There was much more drinking on board and sitting at bars whereas Princess have designated intimate areas where you can have a drink in a pleasant surroundings.
