Here is another question ... I know there is a difference in ships from cruise line to cruise line and from class to class ... what I would like to know ... is there a difference in things such as:

Food - both presentation and quality
Cabins
Decks
Entertainment

And any thing else that you may think of ...

If you contact me by email allbooks@eohio.net I will happily forward to you a copy of my most recent long review comparing the RCI Enchantment of the Seas to the Carnival Imagination ( similar sized ships with similar sized crew and similar ages). I sailed the Enchantment in August of 2002 and the Imagination of June 2003. The review details the differences.

the food, entertainment, and cabins are pretty much all the same on the ships but the decks are different depending on the class of ships you sail on.

I have to disagree with cruiseman. I think there is a significant difference line to line and ship to ship in the areas of food, service and cabins.

In my experience - 93 cruises to date - Carnival & Celebrity have large standard cabins vs. RCI, NCL. The food and service on Celebrity is very good to excellent, RCI very good (usually, although I think Voyager class is a little weaker there) and Carnival and NCL average.

Nightlife is dignified on Celebrity and Princess, diverse and fun on RCI, and a bit more exuberant on Carnival.

Carnival and NCL are decidedly more casual as well. If champagne and caviar are your thing, I would not choose either of these 2 lines.

Ship decor by cruise line is also very different so if you like the glitzy, Vegas stuff Carnival is probably a good choice. If you are after a more elegant style, Celebrity and RCI Radiance class are a good choice and overall I like the open, lots of natural light and airy feeling of RCI vessels in general.
