First let me say that this was a "last minute" cruise for us. We had booked another cruise (Northern Europe) but PCL offered a last minute deal for us to give up our cabin which we couldn't refuse! So, a lot of "running around" to get to know the ports right quick!
I will attempt to be as fair as possble. I have sailed three times with PCL the rest with Carnival. In comparing the Europe experience between CCL and PCL, CCL wins hand down (Freedom August 2007)
I will attempt to make this review painless for you so I will just type/review as I recall.
Balcony Cabin - BC - A430 - very nice. Great walk-in closets. Layout was nice. Flat screen TV was set good so two people can see without one of them getting a crick in their neck :) Small balcony but nice.
