Which Cruise line Do You Favor the Most? Ive only been on the Norwegian Cruise Line, and That was only one time many years ago. I'm plan on going on cruise in the near future. I'd like to see what the majority recommends.

Young couple? Middle aged? Older? Need some more info before I can put in my 2cents.

I have to say none of the above, I would always pick Cunard

I have been on many of them and have enjoyed Royal Caribbean very much.

I chose Princess, only because they seem to have gotten better for us the last few times we have cruised them. We always chose Celebrity before Princess, but it seems the last few times the food wasn't up to par, and something seemed to be missing, but not sure what. RCL is next on our list. Really enjoy the Radiance class of ship, although their food wasn't the best, the whole cruise experience was great.

While we have enjoyed and would certainly sail again on some other cruise lines ....

Princess Is Our Favorite!

I selected Princess because of the two lines we have cruised, Princess seems to be the best fit for us. Of course, that means we are discounting so many other cruiselines.

I wouldn't necessarily pick a cruiseline based on what someone else likes, if we are looking for different things in a vacation. I'm not out-of-doorsy, I prefer traditional dining, but want the option of going to the buffet on a formal night if needed (without feeling like a pariah if we want to walk around the ship in casual clothes afterwards). I prefer trivia matches to stuff-the-bikini contests. And I'm not a gourmet into expensive wines. And we always travel with our kid. But if someone is different from me, I might have other recommendations for them.

I've been on 3 cruises, 2 with Carnival and 1 with Royal Caribbean. So far, I like Carnival best. I guess they don't call them the "fun Ships" for nothing.

voted for N.C.L. because of the freedom of their freestyle dining. interesting to watch this, as i believe many people will just put down their own favorite.

My wife and I have been on 8 cruises and we like Royal Caribbean the best. We have also cruised on Princess, NCL, and Holland America.There seems to be more to do on the RCL ships though each of the other cruiselines has their own appeal.
