We've cruised, multiple times on Royal Caribbean/Celebrity. Never had a bad experience.

Once on Norwegian, which was fine and once on Carnival, (their original ship, named "Carnival") on our honeymoon, 4sink at the foot of the bed. We had one of only 3 cabins with a double (not queen) bed. The rest were single beds, bolted to the walls... Still, we had a great time, along with the other 30 some odd honeymoon couples on board...

A word of warning... NEVER sail on Costa (an Italian line). They couldn't have screwed up our trip any more if they tried...

Edit to add: I just remembered, we did a Princess cruise for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. They wanted to take the entire family. We wound up taking a 5 day cruise (due to my pain in the @ss brother in law, who screwed everything up), on an older ship, that was just "meh". It was small and needed to be refurbished... But the food and service was top notch.

I won't hold that trip against Princess. I've had friends who have gone on 7-10 day Princess cruises who absolutely loved them...
