Cruise line Comparisons

Recently I have heard some real mixed feedback for customers recently returning from cruises. With so many different lines out there how do you chose which line is good for you? Do you stick to the same line? Maybe you like the ships, price or the whole package. Maybe you are missing out though?

We all have our personal favourites myself included. I consider myself very lucky and believe I can give an honest and unbiased opinion on lots of different cruises. Here are the Cruise lines & ships I have sailed on or visited for lunch. I would say this is all fairly recent in the last 6 years.

P&O
Aurora – Sailed on
Ventura – Sailed on
Oceana – Sailed on

Princess
Caribbean Princess – Day visit & lunch on board

Holland America
MS Rotterdam – Day visit & lunch on board

Celebrity
Constellation – Sailed on
Summit – Day visit & lunch on board

Royal Caribbean
Harmony of the Seas – Sailed on
Anthem of the Seas – Sailed on
Allure of the Seas – Sailing in December

NCL Cruises

NCL Breakaway – Overnight on board

Cunard
Queen Mary – Sailed on
Queen Victoria – Day visit & lunch on board

Azamara

AmaPrima – River cruise – Overnight on board

So as you can see from this list I have been on a few. This is the great thing working for Cruise.co.uk they realise how important it is to get us on board so we can be honest in telling you what the cruises are really like. Depending on what you are looking for we can really give some personal recommendations.

I was really surprised when we went with Celebrity how brilliant the staff were in the kids club with Charlie when he was 4 years old. He had an absolute blast. P&O again fantastic facilities for kids on board with the ever popular night nursery they offer. If I was going on entertainment though P&O were the worst for me. Facilities on board it has to be Royal Caribbean hands down! Ice rinks, bumper cars, climbing walls, north star and sky diving to name a few. NCL have a great selection of specialty dining on board and lots of different bars with entertainment from Cirque De Soleil to comedy clubs. For luxury its a tough one to call I found Silversea & Regent very similar its more the different inclusions you get on board but both offer a great luxury experience.

So if you are looking for some impartial advice on which line to chose next give me a call!
