If you tend to pick a cruise line as a priority, please name 4 or 5 top
reasons why you pick a cruise line.

For me Celebrity

1. ship design (Horizon and Century class only)
2. ambiance
3. minimal announcements
4. traditional dining with dress codes
5. onboard service style


HAL

1. traditional dining with dress codes
2. pool design and deck areas on pre-Vista ships
3. opportunities for ballroom dancing
4. service style

RCI

1. electric feel (esp. Voyager ships)
2. fun elements
3. well defined
4. varied activities

Thinking of DELTA STEAMBOATS for steamboat paddlewheel feel, bed and
breakfast decor, opportunities for jazz, caliope. CRYSTAL for reported
high level of product delivery and consistency. CUNARD for its lineage
and tradition if it is at all detectable currently. P&O for British feel
and ship design (ORIANA and AURORA).
