Hi SD'ers,
My 2 cents, Ship matters (both Cruise Line and the actual Ship). Princess, in my experience seems to be an older crowd, lower end ships vs. Carnival / Royal Carribean / Norwegian. Now if you are looking for the cheapest cruise to anywhere in a view less inside cabin, then this might be a good deal.
I'd recommend looking at taxes and fee's (they often times aren't included in the quoted price). Obviously the added expense of getting to a port (flight/hotel). Drink package cost vs. water and coffee. Not to mentions tips and add on's like wi-fi.
Norwegian seems to have the best all inclusive costs if you want a drink package, and wi-fi, and tips included. Virgin Voyages also has some good deals, but not the cheapest.
For Example the $299 cruise x 2 people on Princess came to $786.00 - with fee's and taxes, and no perks.
Hopefully someone better than i can give you more insight.
People saying that 7 nights for 2 ppl for over 2k all in is not a good deal. I just booked 7 nights on RCL Symphony of the Seas, 4 people, January next year, for 2300 after prepaid gratuities.

Virgin>Disney>RCL(Oasis Ships/new)>Norwegian>Viking>Carnival (new ships)>MSC>RCL Olderships>Princess>Costa>Carnival older

Been on around 30 cruises. Never buy drink packages, worked remotely on board via their wifi, mostly do random excursions while ashore.

Last 10 cruises Ive traveled with kids, therefore, my ranking is reflective of a couple cruising and also as a family. I can answer any questions you may have.

If you want insane deals, find the transit cruises where ships are relocating. Did a 30 day cruise for 23/day.

Always use a company to book with, use a card with perks, and know how much everything will be before finalizing a deal. I have a travel agent who is able to book most things for under advertised price, i assume you can find one as well.
For an ocean view or balcony, around $60/day (not including the port taxes and fees) or around $100/day (including taxes but not drink packages) are great deals. IMHO, itineraries matter a lot (a plus, since each port stop has a port fee) and number of days at sea (a minus).

For reference, my wife and I did a 7-day Eastern Caribbean Princess cruise in Feb in a balcony for around $1400 total. Last month we did a 7-day Alaska cruise in an Ocean-view cabin for $1100. Check cruiseplum.com and look at "Hot deals" to give you an idea.

Princess Cruises is considered a Premium cruise line (an up-scale, along with Celebrity) when compared to Carnival, Royal Caribbean, or Norwegian therefore they attract an older crowd. Their ships don't have roller-coasters, water slides, rock-climbing walls, etc. so if that's your thing, I would look elsewhere. Although, some of their larger ships have activity rooms for tweens, it's not at the same scale as Carnival, Royal or Norwegian. Again, their main customer base is the 40 and above crowd who wants to spend a quiet and relaxing cruise away from screaming kids.
Having said all that. Princess will be launching their newest and largest ship (Sun Princess) in Feb '24 which will have more activities for children which upset a large number of faithful Princess cruisers. I imagine they want to tap into the market for multi-generational families cruising together as Carnival, Royal and Norwegian have focused on.

Want to go on a cruise but seems like a lot of them are a petri dish on the ocean.
I'd rather avoid being stuck without food or water while they isolate people.

Shame the price quadruples for a balcony!
The reason now lines are so long now for food on cruises is they can't get help. Cruse ships are now only at 40% staff. We need to stop paying people not to work in this country!
What country is that exactly? Aside from some entertainer positions, the staff of cruise ships are pretty much never from the US.

I don't think princess is lower end compared to carnival or Norwegian. Although Princess is a part of Carnival. If you're looking to relax princess is good if you're looking to party then go with carnival. Not having slides on a cruise ship might not all be that bad.

Where do you find the transit cruises? Is there a trustworthy website that specializes in transit cruises?

Wow, your info is very far off. I work in the industry. It's clearly defined in the cruise line industry association publishing.

Contemporary: Norwegian, Carnival, Royal Carib, MSC
Premium: Princess, Celebrity, Holland America
Luxury: Cunard, etc
Ultra Luxury: Seabourn, SilverSeas, etc.

Princess is indeed an older, more affluent crowd vs the contemporary brands. I always tell people Princess is a Lexus as Carnival/NCL/RCL is a Camry.

Crusiesheet is what I used. Its an aged website, however, the process to book and prices are slightly cheaper than direct. I find prices for the cruise via cruise sheet, check direct, then call my travel agent through Amex who saves me 5%.

I knew they did this with RVs but never thought about cruises. I found a 21-day trip from NY to England for $1700. That's ridiculous on so many accounts. Huge TU!

If your cruise ship is equipped with Starlink, the internet should be OK. In my experience, other ones are not so great.
