Which cruise line would you choose if you had to choose just one?

I am curious about this as I have some customers who swear on one brand and will not try any others, one lady always travels with Princess and decided to try a Celebrity ship instead as part of a family holiday and she didn’t like it at all, she was not happy there was no laundry room on there to iron, she was fuming that she had to pay to get her husbands shirts ironed as prefers to do her own. The ship was beautiful but she said she did not feel it was for her and missed all the little extras she got with her usual cruise line, she is elite with Princess so I suppose I can see her reasoning behind this.
My own choice is between Independence of the seas and Ovation of the seas, I love both of these ships but I do have a little soft spot for P&O Azura, I love the British feel on board and she had a good northern captain last time we were on it, he used to mix really well with the passengers.


The Azura was the biggest ship I had been on from the UK as had been on Thomson and Fred Olsen before this so this felt HUGE.
I loved the bars at the top of the ship at the back, it was called the Planet bar but may have changed names since then, the views were great.

The photo above was taken from the pod on the North star on the Ovation of the seas and at 300 feet above the sea it was amazing and scary at the same time, I did it twice so was not really that scary, below the photo was taken in the lounge at the back of the ovation

 


Once I discovered Royal Caribbeans even bigger ships though I was hooked. I loved loved loved the Harmony of the seas and can’t wait for the Symphony, I did the maiden voyage on the Ovation of the seas and that was just something else with the technology, everyone should try that class of ship at least once.
We turned into mad teenagers with the bumper cars and roller rink, there is a new one due out in 2019 and I hope to be able to do it.
P&O have a big new ship coming out as well as yet not named but at 180,000 tonnes that is big enough for most peoples needs. in fact there are a lot of new ships out over the next 2 or 2 years all bigger and better than ever, we have sections on our website where you can look at some of these.

The photo above was one of nicest ones I have taken and was in Flaam in Norway on the Azura, stunning scenery and a lovely little place.

So come and tell me the name of the ship you like the best and why!
