What's More Important - Ship, Destination, Price etc?

[Jan115]

When you choose a cruise, what holds more weight in your decision - the ship, the cruise line, loyalty points, the destination, the price or something else? Tell us your thoughts!??️

In our early years of cruising, it was the destination and price, but later,  years after cruising on different ships it was the ship and the destination.  Always more than just one thing though...price always comes into it also, but really do look at the ship today.

For us it varies...for just a nice week in the sun, I pick the week(s) we can go and then start looking for options among the cruise lines I like for best itinerary and price.  If we are looking for a specialty cruise, such as Alaska or Europe, I look at itinerary first, then line and price.  There are some ships that intrigue me, however, like the new Celebrity Edge - so when we booked that one, it was all about an available week with a decent price; I don't really care where it goes!
