But if there are 20 Princess and Celebrity ships we've never even been
on...
why bother trying a Spirit class Carnival ship? Why not just stick with
Celebrity and Princess instead? Or, I enjoyed Norwegian Dawn so much...
why
not just go on her again?

Tom, because variety is the spice of life! ;-)


But we all don't like the same spices. I like cinnamon, nutmeg and black
pepper. But there are spices like curry that I don't care for.

Same with cruise lines.

Besides.... Lindsay and I have to play our roles out. We each have an
obligation to our newsgroup personalities.

LOL. I always wanted to be stereotyped. :-)

hehe.....obviously size DOES matter...or you WOULD be spending more time
in your stateroom.....

The worst service (dining room) we've had in 1 Celebrity and 4 RCCL
cruises was on Celebrities Mercury. The asst. waiter was the worst I've
ever dealt with. Our waiter was just average. When you have to request
things like water, iced tea, and coffee over and over again, each
night, it tells you that they weren't paying to much attention to what
the people at their tables wanted.

surprised in many respects...

food being one of them. From what I've heard from
a lot of folks here, Carnival's food is better, so it might be safe to say
it
could even be more than a notch UP than RCI. I even enjoyed my food on
Carnival's older ships.

Personally I don't think either has very good food or service. Food and
service on my Carnival Destiny cruise (about 3 years ago) was so bad I've
never considered going back. Buffet selections were very lacking. RCI
food
is maybe one notch up. Though in truth, both are pretty much below my
minimum acceptable level. I won't eat seafood on either anymore. And on
my
recent RCI Navigator sailing, I typically left half my dinner each
night.

Tom,

I hear what you are saying, and everyone is entitled to their own
preferences.
We happen to like trying different lines and ships.

Following the logic above, as you state it, everyone would simply continue
to
sail on the first ship that they enjoy. Therefore, any new ships would
only be
sailed by first-time cruisers, or those that have not yet had a good
cruise
experience.




I've been on 8 different cruise lines out of our 30+ sailings. Some big
Carnival fans in this group have never been on anything but Carnival.

But I do think it makes sense to repeat on classes of ships that we enjoy.

Is this that beautiful white ship with the navy blue stripe and the word "MEER"
on an interior wall
(the word that seems to mystify most of the passengers)?;-)

If so, you and I have a vastly different dining room experiences on her. We
have some issues with Celebrity Cruises' handling of itinerary changes, but the
service aboard the Mercury last Sept/Oct was first-rate. A great staff
all-around.
