Their solarium pool is much better than RCL. Food also is above on Celebrity. I would compare RCL to a Lonestar/Applebees type food and Celebrity is on the Ruth Chris level.

They are a much more laid back line, and not as many kids. Although their kids programs are fantastic!

Great, thanks for the information. Always a little hesitant about booking with a different cruiseline, especially after the Carnival fiasco.

Where are you looking at going?

Celebrity is having a great sale right now...since you have sailed w/ RCL their sister company you will be eligible.

The sale is book a cruise before Feb 17th and you have the choice between
1: Free Gratuities 2: $200 in On Board Credit or 3: 2 free Beverage Packages (all inclusive non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages for your entire cruise)

If you have a Costco card they are doubling the special. You get On Board Credit and 2 Free Beverage Packages.

It was such a good deal we couldnt pass it up and booked a few weeks back.

Costco has FANTASTIC travel deals. Last year we ended up getting something like $500 or so total in on board credit.

This year the drink packages are $350 per person PLUS $200 in onboard credit so $900. Pretty freakin awesome! The last 3 years our bill when we go to get off the ship have been $0

We were looking at renting a car for a week and they were $200 cheaper vs actually booking through Enterprise.
