PRINCESS or CELEBRITY? Comment Below! - If you want more of this conversation check out the full video podcast episode here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bN-JqJiJv6e6d40.html

Princess is to classical music as Celebrity is to smooth jazz. Perfect analogy.

Princess ships have self-serve laundromats, which we greatly appreciate as we don't have to pack as many outfits.

OMG Tony I just got off my first Princess cruise. I can't, can't, can't go back to carnival, royal caribbean, ncl. Princess was an absolute bomb. The food is over the top. The service is over the top. And the crew is actually happy.

We love Princess! And we want to try Celebrity. Since we haven’t tried Celebrity yet, I can’t compare. But I can attest that Princess is wonderful!

Just cruised the Beyond, fantastic ship and crew!

I always choose Princess! Itineraries, food, and crew are great! Elite benefits are appreciated too!

When wifey and I started cruising without our kids (a lot of Carnival cruises), we jumped to Celebrity. I looked at Princess but was concerned that the age group would skew older (65+). We’ve been beyond happy with Celebrity and have two on the calendar now. A 10 day Med this summer and a 10 day Caribbean in Nov 2024. Maybe we’ll try Princess if the right deal comes up. Celebrity delivers extraordinary service and food without being over the top on pomp and circumstance. We’re both 54/53 and find Celebrity maps well to our age group.

Our first cruise was on the Ruby Princess, glad we started high on the list.

I love Sky Princess! Love the ship, staff, food, and above all else the ports of call!

@lalidoloca I'm a huge fan of Celebrity and admit I have never sailed on Princess...this conversation has me convinced I need to explore cruising with Princess.

We only do Princess or Celebrity! The determining factor is the destination we want and whos dates fit better with our schedule

My first cruise is on Discovery princess in May. I'm sooooo excited. I wanted more of a relaxed atmosphere with a bit of upscale feel with less kids for sure. The foodie in me is excited for princess meals too.

Having sailed on Princess MANY times I love sailing with crews that I have been served by in past cruises....like coming home. Looking forward to the new Sun Princess.

Given our senior age, and MUCH experience with Princess & Celebrity, we prefer Celebrity slightly over Princess. I think Celebrity is slightly more pricey. Princess is more fun-more family. Celebrity is a bit more classy.

1) Hilarious song break! 😂 2) Our first ever cruise is planned for 2024 and I was really torn between Princess or Celebrity… but we ended up booking the Celebrity Equinox. Can’t wait! So excited!

I like them both...also HAL...each has its own ethos and specialities. HAL has some fabulous music venues and commitment to music...Princess has wonderful service...and Celebrity has Aqua Class and more, which provides private dining, private lounges, and pool areas

Tony, your music analogy is PERFECT!

Ahhh, the paradox of choice. It often boils down to itinerary prefrrence for me. I could have a marvelous time on either line. Thanks for this discussion.😊

Do agree Princess has some better itineraries. Our one issue that makes us prefer Celebrity is the cabin. The Princess balcony does not have a good seating area while Celebrity does. When we are on a long cruise this makes a big difference to us

Love your videos keeps me in the cruuuissing mood

We love celebrity and were just talking about princess or virgin. Great show to help us decide

Celebrity is our favorite....we've tried Carnival, NCL, Princess,Cunard, Royal and Celebrity still comes out on top!!

I've only been on one cruise - Princess. It was fabulous.

Love both! I decide by itinerary and ship

Hi Tony 😊 great interview !! A lot of good information , thank you!!

Hi Tony. Happy Saturday to you and Jenny. Interesting comparison between the ships. Been on Princess and really liked it. I'm with you on that one. As always thank you for all you do! Have a great day.

Celebrity is our cruise line of choice. We have been on Carnival, Holland America, Princess and Celebrity. Princess was great too, but Celebrity has our ❤

Great show Tony! I'm on Princess Carribean in June, can't wait!!! Take care...

Great video today Tony !! We have only ever sailed Princess, but next year, we will try Celebrity Apex.

Well, I started my love of cruising on the Matson Lines S.S. Lurline, RCCL, Sitmar, Princess. In those days the food and service were top notch. Yes I still love it but with the hugh ships its sometimes a bit of a cattle call thing, but the second the ship starts up and starts moving, it's magical! The food, if you want the best you do need to pay more otherwise the meals are hit and miss.👍

Thanks Tony, this discussion really helped. 👍🏾 🎯💯

Just booked on the Celebrity Accent! Met Captain Kate on the Edge as well! She is awesome! I tried glass blowing in Murano, Italy so I was ready we I sailed on Celebrity.

That was an interesting conversation, Tony. I'm going to go watch the podcast. Good idea to show a clip here! I've been thinking about trying a different line lately. Have a great day.

Thanks Tony for this vid…. this was exactly the info we have been looking for.

Hi Tony, for me it's Celebrity. I've only been on the Millennium Class ships (Summit, Millennium, Constellation) and am happy with those. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Hi from Bob in Connecticut

Our main decision maker is where can we drive to for most of our cruises. That's why we took the Princess South Pacific cruise back in 2020, it was round trip from LA. Didn't want cost to park my car that long so took a rental but still didn't have to deal with flying for either start or finish of the cruise.

I love both Princess and Celebrity. Went on the Enchanted Princess in October and it was the most beautiful ship I had ever been on ( and I have done 30 cruises). Leaving tomorrow on Celebrity Beyond and am excited to see that one and meet Capt. Kate.

Thank-u for posting.

We sailed on Celebrity Edge for their first sailing after the Covid outbreak. We absolutely loved it! Only 4 kids were on that cruise...We're in our 60's so we didn't need all the slides and water things. It was the most relaxing cruise we have ever had. Staff was amazing and so was the food. That said, we would love to try a Princess cruise sometime.

Very interesting discussion, thank you !

I've only ever done Princess or Celebrity. I think it depends on how much you want to spend. If you want to go for a suite, even just a mini suite, go for Celebrity. The Luminae restaurant and retreat lounge make it SO worth it. Other than that, I think they're both pretty much the same though I generally like the food on Celebrity a little better.

Prefer celebrity over princess, but both are great. Loved watching the glass blowing.

Great info. Food for thought

Great video! Right up my alley. 😊

We have been Platinum on Carnival, Gold on NCL, the unsupervised children, drunks, and occasional fights is pushing us away from Carnival. We just did our first cruise on the Celebrity Equinox a few weeks ago. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship, and our Balcony room on Deck 7 and the FOOD and Entertainment was GREAT. The only issue we had on the Equinox was that service in the main dinning room was dysfunctional every night buy one. Unusual for us, on our 10 day Exotic Southern Caribbean cruise we ate in the Buffett up on deck 14 on 4 nights and had very good relaxing dinners and enjoyed interacting with the staff up stairs. On each late dinning in the main dinning room we would show up among the first in line, and for some reason we would be among the last to receive our main courses and one evening they even failed to bring our desserts. Would we cruise Celebrity again, most definitely. We are presently planning on a Princess Cruise to give that line a try and then determine which direction we will go for future cruises but Princess has some fantastic itineraries that is pulling us that direction.

I just got off the beyond,this was my 21 Celebrity cruise it was the best food and service and entertainment of all of them. I like Celebrity they never give me a reason to leave.

First time cruiser, going on Virgin this year. I chose it for being adult only, increased luxury and dining. Hope it’ll be a good trip!

This should be a 3 way comparison Holland in my opinion is right there with this two all three are great . But the less you talk about Holland the better it could be my little secret 😅😂

Either Celebrity or Princess are my preferences, so destination would be the next deciding factor!

Princess is my favorite. I am booked on my first Celebrity cruise in November, 6 nights on the Eclipse. I took your advice and decided to try a different line. The glass blowing sounds fun.

Great video ❤❤❤❤

We've cruised with Princess 16 times, with more coming, and 3 Celebrity cruises with another to come next year. We love these smaller ships. We are seniors and don't need all the high activity type ships.

I love Walter (Where's Walter) Thank you for this!

Hi from the Discovery Princess! We’re sailing away on our long-awaited coastal California cruise. 🚢🚢🚢

On my way to watch the podcast now!!! Great short show, from the big show.. Lol

Celebrity hands down is the best❤

I like the comment about the crew on a particular ship. I've been on many NCL ships and i must say the crew on NCL Escape is awesome. The crew on other NCL ships is medicore

We love Celebrity!❤

After trying both, i definitely prefer Celebrity. The staff on Celebrity just seem to be friendlier and look after you better, especially during dinner. Theyre constantly filling your wine glass. I found on princess, because there was a 15 drink a day max, they waited until you ordered another glass of wine and made sure to record your medallion. Also on Celebrity the 2nd night, i ordered a baileys coffeer, every single night after that, our server would just bring me out one. We had interaction with the sommilier nightly on Celebrity but they were only available on princess if you wanted to buy a bottle of wine Now having said that, we're trying our first Virgin Voyages cruise this year, and cant wait.

I like Royal Caribbean

Love Celebrity, their loyalty program is the best! Besides the great service everyone gets in all room categories we have been in some suites. There you get incredible butler service, a special suite restaurant and special lounge.

LOL...love your sense of humor...torn between 2 lovers...plus now Holland and Virgin also Premium...

I've been on Celebrity, Princess and Holland (which I know wasn't in the mix). All three have great food, great service and beautiful ships. I feel like Celebrity has the "edge" on them all. Added bonus there is definitely a cooler vibe on Celebrity.

Tony! Thanks so much for the opportunity to chat, I had a great time! Next time I come your way and we'll chat "live in the studio." Princess vs. Celebrity is such a hard choice, so many great things about both cruise lines. We've been booking a lot of clients on both along with Virgin Voyages as folks look to expand their horizons from Royal, NCL and Carnival. I think you can really put all three cruise lines together for that 'next level' cruise experience. Of course VV takes it Adult Only and almost All Inclusive so it might be the best value for your dollar, but all three cruise lines are amazing. Again, thanks for the opportunity and we'll see you out on the Lido!

Celebrity has always been my favorite. I have 2 upcoming cruises with Celebrity 2 upcoming with Carnival and 1 upcoming with Royal. However after watching yours and Parodeejay's vlogs on Princess I really think I will have to give them a try.

Props to NCL for changing their decision. It shouldn’t have ever gone to this but it did. 😖 Sure hope they “fix” the policy though, for others going forward. Thanks to u, n the other creators, for bringing this all to light n probably helping the resolution. Be blessed!!!!!

I'm booked on the Equinox in May, can't wait to experience this ship 🚢 Great show Tony!

Love them both

I am Elite on Princess & platinum on NCL but have never cruised Celebrity, but I am ready to try it!

Hi Tony, I am a student journalist doing a story about the return to cruising since the pandemic, and would love to interview you! I messaged you on Instagram with more details, but the interview would only take 10 minutes of your time, and be over Zoom! Thank you so much!

I have only sailed Celebrity. I want to try Princess on my next cruise. Thank you for sharing Tony & Walter👍

Our favorite is Celebrity, we’re going in the Beyond the end of May, Mediterranean for 9 days back to back.

This is a great video . I have not tried either yet but just got off virgin and definitely want to try princess and celebrity .

My first cruise was on Princess. My second was on a now defunct cruise line. I enjoyed both cruises

Yes Tony, definitely hard for us to choose. Except for the Vloggers cruise, we have not strayed from either Princess or Celebrity. Partly due to our age demographic (early 70s) but the packages now give us great value on both, especially Princess. By the way, we were thrilled to briefly meet you on the Vloggers cruise! 👍🌞

Celebrity will be our next cruise line but that is partly from having reciprocity in status with Royal Caribbean and partly for their Iceland to Boston itinerary that has me intrigued.

I was on the Sky princess in February and I agree, the main dinning room was really good! Alfredo's gave the main dinning room big competition too!! The buffet was good too but I only ate there at breakfast. The Lido deck restaurants (Slice and... salty dog???) were very so-so. Not bad but definatelly a big step down from everything else. No reason to eat there with the buffet open all day. I was also disapointed with the ice cream offer, only one flavor at a time, no soft serve... could be a lot better.

I've been on the Celebrity Solstice & Equinox, they were great! Going on the Caribbean Princess this Fall. Hoping for a great experience too. Love both Cruise Lines!

❤ Celebrity ... especially The Summit! 😊

I love them both, some things better on Princess some things better on Celebrity

We like Princess and Celebrity. We have also tried Royal C, Norwegian, Carnival and Holland America. Just returned last Saturday from the Rotterdam on ten day Southern Caribbean cruise. The Rotterdam Internet service was the best we have ever had. Food was excellent including the specialty restaurants. We had a Neptune suite which was huge . Also had concierge service in the Neptune Lounge which was like the United Airlines Red Carpet Lounge. So our top 3 cruise lines are Holland, Princess and Celebrity.

Celebrity number 1 for me. Hands down! Have yet to try Virgin.

That's the way I cruised. 1 Carnival, then moved to NCL with 1 Royal in the middle, then stepped up to Princess and finally landed on Celebrity and there we stay.

Breaking out into song, love it. Boy very hard decision between Celebrity or Princess. Our next cruise is in August 10 days on Caribbean Princess. Quebec to New York. Guess I will vote Princess for all the great reasons you discussed. Top notch video, thanks Tony

Once you go Celebrity Retreat class on one of the Edge class ships, you never go back.

I like the Virgin way of paying once and getting everything for your price, I hate the added charges for everything else. I have done Princess for Alaska as I feel they are the best up there., but really like Celebrity in general. We have always had a great time with Celebrity.

My husband and I were about to pay our deposit on Celebrity Edge and our travel agent offered a Princess cruise but while the Princess is less, it has add ons that we would need to be comparable to the Edge. I decided to research a bit and this video was helpful. It’s gonna be hubby’s 75th and we are smooth jazz over classical. We will stay with our Celebrity Edge decision. We might try Princess in the future. I will review the experience in 2025 when we return. Thanks.

Hey Tony, it’s Car..rusing day for us today ! March 25 .. San Pedro, California back to back California coastal. 14 days total. first time on a celebrity cruise the Soltice we were doing a back to back just so that we can really check it out and see what’s happening on this cruise line. It will be the 41 number Cruises for us so far. We are Princess fans because of the military extra credit on board and also us being shareholders on (CCL). Not much credit for anything as a first time cruiser on Celebrity but I will let you know my personal review when we come back on Easter Saturday …..Bon voyage.🎉❤

I have been on Princess twice (pre-pandemic) and I have 2 cruises booked with Celebrity coming up. One on the Eclipse for Halloween this year and one on the brand new Celebrity Ascent on January 7th 2024. So as of right now, I have no basis of comparison between the 2 lines. But I will soon find out which one I personally like more. I also hope to get on Virgin Voyages probably sometime in 2025. But I can say I did enjoy my Princess cruises. The food was wonderful, the staff excellent and the ships very elegant.

Tony, don't forget you've also been on the Island Princess for the full transit Panama Canal last April !

I knew you were going to say Princess. We aren't gamblers and Celebrity has Starlink. Our next cruise is on the Celebrity Apex. I did listen to your specialty dining comments of the Apex and made reservations on the Rooftop Grill instead of the Fine Cut because you said there was noise from the Martini Bar.

Love Princess!!! Will be on the Regal in 2 weeks!!

I’d go on Virgin but Princess comes in as a strong 2nd!

My favourite is Holland America. Mind you I have not cruised since the late nineties when ships were smaller and did not contain whole cities of people.

My wife and I prefer Celebrity and are going on the Celebrity Eclipse again in May. It has been years since we were on Princess or HAL so we are going to give them a chance just for a change of pace (Koningsdam in August 2023 and the Majestic Princess in May 2024). Also have booked the Celebrity Edge for September 2024. Like Walter, one of our favorite things on Celebrity is the World Class Bar. We have found that the atmosphere, service, friendliness, food and entertainment to be top notch on Celebrity.

Itinerary is my 1st go to look at.

Going on Beyond in June... can't wait!

We’ve been cruising over 20 years and have been on a lot of different cruise lines and Royal Caribbean will always be #1 for us!!⚓️

Captain Kate is awesome! 1st time on the Beyond and it was amazeballs!
