Creator's Key Takeaways

I'll give the slight edge here to Norwegian simply because they offer the Butler Service while princess does not

I'm going to give the nod to Norwegian on this but only by a small margin

I'm going to give Norwegian the definitive nod in the perks category

The Haven experience beats out princess and does so by a fairly wide margin

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Have your medallion shipped to you ahead of time to avoid long lines
โœ“Shop around for deals on both cruise lines
โœ“Try bidding on upgrades
โœ“Book the 360 dining experience on Princess if available

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Suite benefits not being noticeable โ€” Norwegian's Haven provides more obvious VIP treatment from arrival to departure
Cost justification โ€” Consider how much you value private spaces, dedicated service, and cabin size
