Creator's Key Takeaways
Celebrity is for the stylish, still active traveler. This is for you if you're 55 plus, still want style, you still want a little energy, you don't want to have a mega ship packed with water slides and screaming kids.
Princess is a classic line that's been around forever. And although Princess falls into the premium class, they do overall have bigger ships, which could mean crowds.
Holland America is consistent with their ships, the food, the service. So that's consistent across all of the ships for sure.
Oceania is for the foodie or the culinary curious traveler, but also the destination focused traveler for Oceania to be sure.
