We have been on Princess a number of times over the years and the last one was in September last year. I made that my last cruise with Princess. Bad food, lack luster service, boring entertainment etc and expensive were the reasons.
I never tried Princess, the ship sailing from Brooklyn is a very old ship! Thank you for your detailed analysis of the Pros and Cons! My husband bought CCL and NCL stock in March 2020😭(I feel your pain), then bought little more when it went down! We did buy 200 shares of CCL at $6.70 to even out our loss! The only advantage is getting the $100 on board credit when we sailed total 5 times in the last 2.5 years😜
Norwegian charged $150 administration fee in addition to cruise fee and deposit. Princess, Carnival, Holland America and Royal Caribbean do not charge administration fee.
