I've done the Queen Mary II, several Princess Line ships and a couple aboard the Celebrity Eclipse…read moreand the Celebrity Solstice, so I have some measure of comparison. By far the nicest most modern up to date and "with it" ships that I have been aboard are the Celebrity Solstice class ships, which also gave me the biggest bang for my buck. For Cunard, yes I got to drink from real Waterford crystal, but I have better than that at home, so not too impressed. The other problem I had with both Princess and Cunard was that it sort of gave me the impression of being confined to a geriatric ward. However, it was refreshing for me at my age (on the edge of 70) to be considered young, or as you may obviously tell from my read, still as bratish and petulant as ever. Princess it is good, but frumpy, glittering in beiges and though new, seemingly like an old ladies out of date evening dress. Since this is sort of a comparison review and I'm only comparing three ship lines and not everyone in their line, the sort and sweet of it from my perspective is: Cunard Queen Mary II: Pros: Stately, in a reserved British sort of manner, top of the line food along with pleasant, accommodating service and the fact that it is clearly an ocean liner, not a cruise ship. Cons: They have a bunch of sales pitchmen aboard, the worst ever, who try to con you into buying all sorts of things on shore from stores that, upon questioning, advised me that they pay these hucksters to do that for them. Princess Lines: Pros: Great service, top of the line food, everything spotless with the entire ship Bristol in condition at all times. Cons: Probably just me, but it's a new ship dressed up like an old lady going to her last ball; frumpy looking golds, beiges and overdone ornate décor. Celebrity: Pros: Clean, glittering, gleaming chromes and whites. A lovely topside lawn a Corning glassblowing show, croquet and other assorted games. Top of the line food, service and a gleaming dinning area with one of the most unique selections of various wines. Cons: Maybe too modern in appearance for some, though certainly not for me.

Sailed on Carnival Celebration for the first time from February 21-March 1st, 2026. The ship itself…read moreis very new, well kept and has multiple restaurants and attractions for everyone. The restaurants that were unique to this ship compared to the last one I was on were the " Chi-Bang", Cucina del Capitano, Teppanyaki and the steakhouse. I also really enjoyed the pizza from the " pizzeria del capitano" as it was very thin and had fresh ingredients! We did eat at the " cucina del capitano" one night for free, but it wasn't anything special, so I wouldn't go again for $8 per person. The rest of the cruise food was the average meals that you get on all ships--- a bit on the heavier side and tough on my digestive system, but it was nice to have the opportunity to skip the seated dinners to eat a quick salad at the buffet or have other lighter meal. In regards to the layout of this ship, I felt that it was a bit confusing and I definitely missed having the central atrium that was present in all other ships. However, we were fortunate enough to have a room in floor 16 so we could be close to the Lido and serenity. Speaking of serenity--- on previous ships, this was on the back of the boat and thus made for a less windy experience, whereas this time it was located on the front of the boat and you were lucky if your food or towels didn't blow away. My other critique of Celebration is that many attractions required an additional cost--- if you're going to advertise a " roller coaster at sea!" , then you shouldn't be charging guests an additional $15 per person to ride it ONCE. Our local 6 Flags has better deals than that. Furthermore due to the high winds and chilly temperatures during our cruise, the " Bolt" rollercoaster was closed more often than it was open. As a result, when we tried to book a ride, they were all sold out. The ropes course and the water slides are free, thankfully, but one of the slides was broken during our trip, so that was a bummer. In regards to the shows and entertainment on this ship, Carnival Celebration blew all the other ships out of the water ( pun intended). Color my world, We Are One, Noche Cubana, and the circus show were absolutely AMAZING. I felt like I was watching some " cirque du Soleil" shows on the cruise ship, and was very impressed! As usual, their Punchliner comedy shows were also hilarious, and they were always a great end to the evening. Overall, due to the greediness of the owners of the ship in making us pay extra for random unnecessary things, I give the ship a 4/5. That rating also includes the fact that, despite advertising " Celebration Key" as a Carnival owner island, all the activities one would want to partake in cost money. I wish cruise ships would stop getting greedy and instead focus on keeping their customers happy by avoiding extra unnecessary charges.

Overall the seven day cruise was fun and relaxing. What I like about this Carnival cruise was the…read moreparty atmosphere and the variety of food options that we enjoyed without additional costs. The suite life was definitely not as great as Royal Caribbean! The things that we like were the spa shower, the Loft deck (for suite guests use only) and the complimentary bottle of wine. The best perk for booking a suite was the nice size of the room. Unlike Royal Caribbean there was no suite lounge or daily reception. No concierge for booking spa treatments, fine dining etc! There was no coffee available in the suite. There were no treats left by the room attendant. There is reserved seating at all events on Royal not Carnival. Carnival only allowed one meal on their private island Celebration Key (after that you have to pay) Royal provides an endless buffet. There was no private area for suite guests like on Royal Caribbean's private island. The thing I disliked the most about this Carnival cruise was the presence of so much security they were three or four deep everywhere on the ship. In the Limelight club the DJ stopped the music, the lights were turned on and security addressed cruisers with drinks in there hands and no shoes on the dance floor (this happened 4 times while we were there during which the DJ scorned the crowd) It was so tacky. Didn't go back there again. We ate most nights at the Lido Marketplace ( buffet). I like having choices and the food was generally good with the exception of the chicken three times we found it undercooked. The ChiBang restaurant was underwhelming. The appetizers were good the dinner entrees so much. Guys burger joint was delicious just a little salty. The coffee offered in the Lido Marketplace was weak. We had to buy coffee everyday to get a decent cup. The cruise staff were really friendly. The New Year's Eve event was okay. (I like the two Royal Caribbean new years cruises better.) We skipped visiting St. John and Amber Cove ports opting to enjoy the quiet boat instead. Disembarking the boat was quick and easy because we got to the staging area very early and carried our own luggage. Though the walk pushing my luggage back to the car was no fun.

First time on the Carnival Conquest and I was leery because of some of the stories I had heard, but…read moreit ended up being a great experience. I was on the ship for six days with no issues. This was my first adults-only cruise, and surprisingly everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, someone passed away while we were docked in Grand Cayman, and although some passengers were upset because the delay kept them from getting back to gambling, nothing too crazy happened. The food was good overall. I ate at the steakhouse one night, and it was truly a fine dining experience. Shout out to Gabby the ship director, she was phenomenal. I can't wait to go on my 14-day Hawaii cruise on the Radiance.
