BEST CRUISE LINE? COMPARING DISNEY CRUISE LINE, PRINCESS CRUISES and CELEBRITY CRUISES

I was asked yesterday after being on the Disney Magic, the Sky Princess and the Celebrity Apex how do they all compare. Well that is a question with a complex answer. In this episode, I break it down. Plus I have a story about my dining room server on Disney. I don't think my Disney server liked me.

It’s rude to walk away someone mid-sentence regardless of who walked in the room (except an emergency). I took a 15 night cruise to Hawaii on Princess and the staff was amazing. They never tired of seeing my face (15 days is a long time, lol) and were always courteous to each and every person.

You were absolutely right about that service snafu. You don't have to apologize. The waiter was completely wrong not to finish with your order, in fact, with your whole table's order, before he left to wait another table. That was just plain RUDE. I would have been angry too, and would have reported the behavior to guest services. Such behavior reflects badly on the cruise line, and should not be tolerated. I would have also made sure not to have the same waiter in the future.

It is weird and unacceptable for a waiter to walk off in the middle of taking your order to greet a dif customer.

Celebrity is my favorite of any line. Their ships are far and away more innovative than any other line I’ve sailed. The food is amazing and they even innovative ways of serving the food at LaPetit Chef! The buffet has stations for almost every type of food you can imagine. I also love the Martini Bar. The shows are top notch and original.

The Princess tech is a huge advantage. I sailed on NCL and RC after my first Princess cruise and yeah, I missed my magical little Medallion. And the internet speed!

[mercyrodriguez]

When we were on Celebrity, the buffet and everywhere else the food was incredible! The best food among all the Lines is definitely on Celebrity! We have done all the lines except Disney.

Took my first Princess cruise 2 months ago and the next one will most definitely be on Princess. Love the medallion technology and the food. We booked the package that included drinks, tips and WiFi. It was great worth the extra money to not worry about paying a bill before we left. Besides we had a lot of cruise credits from other cancelled cruises to cover the extra charges.

I’ve cruised on 10 different lines and my favourite cruise line for quality of food is Celebrity. Disney was actually my least favourite in regards to food quality, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The cruise line that I thought was the poorest in entertainment was Holland America. Unfortunately I haven’t been in a cruise since Feb. 2020 and am not planning any until the complicated rules disappear. Thanks Tony for your very entertaining videos! If I could, I would subscribe more than once to help your numbers!

[manueldominguez]

I agree with you, the Medallion is great and convenient. I love Princess. Celebrity is great also, but I still take Princess for the Medallion and being a veteran, I get extra credits

[beatricechow]

Thanks for such a detailed and honest assessment. I still love Disney but the more I watch your videos, the more I’m open to other cruises.

[rachelgetchell]

Thank you for addressing my question. The reason he left you like he did, was that customer was one that started tipping him from the start of the cruise. I have seen that happen. I found if you tip the cabin person the first day of the trip, you get even better attention the rest of the cruise.

In September 2022 will be my third cruise on Celebrity. To be honest I have only cruised on Celebrity, and I love this cruise line. But after listening to you talk about Princess, I just might try them out. That medallion sounds pretty cool. Opening your cabin door without trying to find your key card; and ordering room service to be delivered where ever you are on the ship. Wow!! And being able to track down your cabin mate would be such a time saver!!

My favorite is Celebrity. Have only been on Princess once. HAL x 3 but demographic is for much older crowd. Carnival once but won't do again. RCL is good, don't like the huge superships, tho. Going on Apex in 6 weeks and can't wait - cruise #19 for me.

[delenn]

That tracking feature only works with traveling companions. You cant track strangers, from what was explained to me the first time I cruised Royal Class. LOVE you channel.

[youjl]

The dining experience would definitely have rubbed me the wrong way too. To be treated by the room steward or wait staff with value is one of the most amazing things about cruising.

[aliasmargta]

I love La Lido Loca's content. Always so packed with information. Not a minute is wasted.

[Akmikeol]

Amen Tony. Just got off the Majestic Princess. Medallion was by far the best aspect of my cruise. It was a game changer.

[marymcmann]

Princess Medallion is wonderful! I was able to track down my two sisters and find them no matter where they were. Ordering food & drinks anywhere on the ship was so convenient. The food on the Enchanted Princess was wonderful except for the Salty Dog Gastro Pub. Princess is my favorite right now.

Hi Tony, We are aboard the Ruby Princess, 14 days round trip San Francisco-Hawaii and loving it. Just one point - The personal medallion tracking feature only applies to your on-board shipmates. Those on the same cabin are automatically added but others have to be accepted by you to be included, so inadvertent tracking is not a factor. Also normally Princess offers two production shows on 7 days trips and 3 on 10+ days. Glad you enjoyed the Princess features and thanks for the objective and unbiased comparisons. Looking forward to cruising with you or Don one of these days. Stay safe, good luck on your WW program, and keep those videos coming. Neil & Sandy G.

I can understand all the other comparisons you made and even agree with them EXCEPT comparing a 20 y/o ship style to a brand new one. As far as the waiter situation, that would absolutely irritate me and I would have commented on it for the survey.
