We have been on both and prefer Celebrity but would do RCCL if it had a better itinerary.
 
Celebrity was excellent Century and Mercury. Going on the Century again in Dec 04.

Traveling with kids-RCCL-the BEST kids program! We prefer smaller ships and the food on Celebrity is outstanding! But, if the itinerary was what we wanted we would go RCCL in a heartbeat.
 
We have sailed with both cruise lines a number of times and in every case have had very good cruises. Our decision between Celebrity and RCI is usually determined by the itineraries available and pricing. We do have a preference for Celebrity but are happy with either cruise line.

My fellow cruisers have said it all. Both are great--itineraries and pricing usually help us make the choice. Some folks also compare onboard features. For example, I believe that some of the Celebrity ships have the Thallasotherapy salon and spa, while som of the Royal Caribbean ships have the rock -climbing wall. So you'd have to compare brochures and see which of those "signature" items is of most interest to you.

We've been cruising since our honeymooon and I can honestly say that we've had great experiences on all lines (except Carnival--which was OK but too "party-hearty, hey hey hey, aren't we all having a GOOD TIME" for us. We prefer not being reminded by the staff every minute of what a good time they are giving us..)
 
If you want to try both, start with RCCL and try Celebrety after that. I started with Celebrity and sailed on Radiance of the Seas just 6 weeks ago. I was a little disappointed because I always saw these small things which Celebrity does 'one star' better!

My decision for the future: Celebrity!
 
Have sailed on Celebrity 3 times and RCCL. 2 times. We feel Celebrity has much better food, service, and a better all around atmosphere. RCCL has better shows and activities. They are both good choices. We prefer Celebrity. Sit back and enjoy. You cannot go wrong on either cruise line.
 
We have 8 crusies on Celebrity and going on our 4th with RCCL in on Sept. 1 2004. My favorite is usually the last one I was on, but if I had to rate them Celebrity would get the nod.
