Which is a better cruise line for barcelona to barcelona? celebrity or royal caribean?

Question

we are a honeymoon couple who want to do cruising for 7 days from barcelona to barcelona. can anyone help us in chosing the good cruise line?

Answer 1

Celebrity is head and shoulders above Royal Caribbean.  The services and special touches are number one priority and Celebrity delivers quality.

Answer 2

Both are owned by the same company Royal Carribean Cruises.

with Celebrity you will get better service, better food, nicer rooms and a more relaxing cruise, Celebrity tends to lean towards the older and wealthier people.

Royal Caribbean you will have alot more things to do on the ship but there will also be alot of kids around and the service wont be as good.

So if you want to relax and enjoy the boat and ports and have great service celebrity.

If you want to have 24/7 non-stop fun than Royal Caribbean.

Answer 3

My wife and I are both Travel Consultants, and cruise about 2-3 times a year - we have sailed on every major cruise line.

You will absolutely enjoy your cruise experience on either cruise line, however, having sailed on both so many times I can tell you some of the "touches" that like on Celebrity, but we found missing on Royal Caribbean.

- When first getting on-board a Celebrity ship, you are greeted by an officer, offered champagne, and escorted to your cabin by a white-gloved crew member who assists you with your carry-on luggage. Upon arrival in your cabin, you are given a quick orientation briefing. When boarding a Royal Caribbean ship, you're kind of on your own!

- We find the room service menu on RCCL to be extremely limited. No shrimp cocktails or cheese platters as on Celebrity.

- No shushi bar on RCCL. Celebrity has a shushi cafe every night.

- When returning to the ship from a shore excursion on Celebrity, you are greeted with cold towels, water or fruit juice. Not on RCCL.

- On Celebrity, shrimp cocktail and escargot are on the menu every night as a dinner appetizer - a shrimp cocktail was only available once during our last RCCL cruise, even when asked for!

RCCL tends to attract a younger and family oriented crowd, while Celebrity generally caters to a slightly older group of clients. It also appears to me that more people follow the dress codes on Celebrity than on RCCL (formal nights, semi-formal nights).

If you'll step back and take an overall look at Celebrity Cruise Line, you notice that they've won some pretty impressive awards:

- they won 6 of the top 10 positions in the Best Large Ship category

- won highest rated Premium Cruise Line

- took top 3 spots for Best Crew/Service

- won all 4 Best Food/Dining rankings

- top spot Best Cabins

You don't get to this position by offering a less than first-class product. I'm confident that once you experience Celebrity, you'll be spoiled. Other cruise lines just don't match-up to the levels of service, attention to detail, quality of food and overall cruise experience.

Enjoy your cruise - which ever way you deside to go. The beautiful thing here is that you can't make a "wrong" decision.  Bon voyage and congratulations!

Answer 4

Royal Carribean by far - there's always so much to do and everyone is friendly

Would you belive I'm getting on a plane to go on that very cruise today? I'm so looking forward to it!!!!!

Hope you have a great time

Hope it helps
