I picked "A Bit" because some of our favorite cruises have been on Celebrity.
Unfortunately, some of their new regulations don't suit us so we're not as likely to cruise on Celebrity as we once were. Still, we ALWAYS check and consider. Especially, we are interested in the future sailings out of Charleston, SC!
When our children w/ the grandchildren asked our opinion on their upcoming Christmas/New Years cruise, we strongly encouraged them to pick Celebrity over the others they were considering. They did!

11/21/09 Crown Princess 2/18/10 Island Pricess B2B Ft.Lauderdale to Acapulco and back (total 20 days)
OVER 40 (started young) Princess, Celebrity, RCCL, HAL, NCL, Costa, Disney, Carnival, Sitmar (Princess bought), and (a very long time ago) SS Bahama Star
While I still want to try other lines, for the most part celebrity offers us what we want. A good experience overall (even if they did run out of cheddar cheese)

Bob and I are loyal to Celebrity and always check them out first when deciding on a cruise, but we do sail on Royal Caribbean too. In fact, after our Equinox cruise this fall, our next two cruises are on the Jewel of the Seas. Timing and itinerary were major factors in our choice.
Our last cruise was on Celebrity, and it was our first Celebrity cruise. We went with a group and the cruise was already decided when we joined.
I enjoyed everything about the whole cruise, and I would say Celebrity was better than average. But it was not so special or unique that I'd go out of my way to book Celebrity in the future. There were no problems or complaints...everything was nice...but nothing was outstanding. There was no 'wow'. If another group goes on Celebrity we'll join them to be with our friends, of course, but if we get to choose the cruisline I will stick with Regent.

I voted Fairly Loyal. We have enjoyed a variety of the RCCL ships interspersed over the years however these days we look at Celebrity first. We have Equinox booked and after that, we will probably be looking at some others lines to try, I have my eye on one Azamara cruise in particular.
Cheryl, I can definitely recommend Azamara. Bob and I did a transatlantic cruise on the Quest and loved it! She's a beautiful ship and can stop at ports the mammoth ships can't get to. I'd gladly sail on her again.
