Celebrity vs. Princess
Celebrity and Princess are both premium lines, and the fare name still decides drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities. Celebrity ship specs are recorded. Princess ship specs are Not listed.
It’s All Cruises · October 25, 2026
Start with the fare column, not the premium label both lines share. Celebrity's recorded detail is the suite chart, while Princess records Standard, Plus and Premier for 2026 sailings purchased on or after July 22, 2025.

How to choose
- If you want a recorded space ratio, use a Celebrity Edge-class ship. Princess gross tonnage, guest counts and space ratios are Not listed.
- Princess Plus includes fountain soda, Wi-Fi for one device and gratuities. Standard leaves those extra.
- Princess Premier adds unlimited eligible specialty dinners and, on voyages of six days or longer, a shore excursion credit. Reservations still apply.
- Celebrity Premium Suites include specialty dining with stated exclusions: a la carte items, special events, the Le Voyage tasting menu and Chef's Table.
- Kids' club sessions are included on Princess, with late group sitting extra. Celebrity's suite chart does not list a kids' club, so that cell is Not listed.
- Sample routes: Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Summit, Enchanted Princess.
Fares are marketing prices, confirmed when you book. Princess package terms can differ for purchases before July 22, 2025.
Frequently asked questions
Are Celebrity and Princess the same kind of cruise because both are premium?
The label matches. The fare contents do not. Compare Plus or Premier against the Celebrity fare and room you would actually buy.
Why are Princess ship figures missing?
Built year, tonnage, guest count and space ratio are Not listed for the Princess ships among these sailings. Use the fare table, which is recorded.
Does Princess Premier include every restaurant?
It includes unlimited eligible specialty dinners, with reservations. Thermal suite access stays extra, with selected full-suite exceptions.
Does a Celebrity suite replace All Included?
A suite includes premium drinks and premium Wi-Fi whichever fare was bought. That is not the same document as Cruise Only versus All Included, which is Not listed.
