We have only deon 2 3 night cruises. One on DCL this past December and one on RCCL back in '97.
We had such a bad time on the RCCL that I thought I'd never cruise again. If it weren't for my crazy love of Disney, we never would have.
To us, you could not compare the two. The ship was in need of updating, the food was horrible, everything about it was unappealing to us plus the weather did not work in our favor.
We loved DCL. We are pretty snobby travellers and I was quite impressed with the ship. Certainly not the height of luxury, but the amenities and the food were very good. Our children loved the kids club (which we could not do in '97 on RCCL). There was always some type of cleaning ana maintenance being performed and the ships interior always looks great.
The funny thing was when we were in Port Canaveral, we were docked next to Sovereign of the Seas and just looking at the exterior of the ship, you could see the differences!!!!!!! Iknow this is one of their older ships, but it's looking pretty shabby!
Just one person' opinion!!!!
