Review summary

Going on Apex and then enchanted princess back to back to decide if princess or celebrity is our favorite cruise line

So easy and lived that we took all our luggage with us (no porters) and dropped off at room so we could unpack as soon as the room was ready

I’d like to hear your comparison when you get back from the Princess cruise. You’ll have a unique perspective doing them back to back. Having done both lines on numerous ships, there certainly are some differences in my opinion. Enjoy the cruise 🛳️
