I researched the different cruise lines online as well as in the real world. There is a wealth of information and reviews available in magazines and books as well as the internet.
And I spoke with friends and family members who had cruised. After a couple of intense weeks of research I narrowed the field down to Celebrity and HAL. For that particular cruise, to Alaska, Celebrity edged HAL out on price for a week in the Celebrity Suite. (Granted, HAL doesn't offer a CS, but there were other cabins that were similar in size).
We sailed on the Infinity, in her first year and it was magical. Like a first love, I guess. We never expected to be treated so well by so many members of the staff.
Celebrity is still our cruise line of choice, and the only one we book cruises on.
We are looking forward to reboarding the Infinity in October for a Hawaian cruise.
