I did like the royal Caribbean.

We were coming back into port with royal Caribbean and were fogged out. So all the ships had to wait overnight and into the late afternoon before anyone could start coming in. We could see the carnival ship having problems with power. Whole sections of the ship lights going on and off.

That morning on our they opened most of the places to eat. Also they opened the shops and had a 50% off sale. They let us stay in our rooms. When we finally got to dock they asked us to still go by the normal disembarkation routine. But said if you need to catch a flight or whatever go ahead. We got to our cars reasonably fast.

Meanwhile carnival told everyone they had to get out of their rooms first thing in the morning. So everyone was sitting around in chairs or the floor with their luggage. They barely fed them. And when they docked just had chaos letting everyone go at once.

End result everyone on our ship was off a lot faster. Carnival had people still trying to get away well after midnight.

All that said. I would rather go on something like a Viking cruise, but can’t fault royal Caribbean about any of the cruises we took on them.
It has been years though.
