Cruising with RCCL or p&o with 18 month old?

The pros and cons I can see are:

P&o

  • slightly cheaper by the time you add tips
  • more options out of Southampton so more flexibility on dates
  • cabins are a bit bigger
  • food is prob more English so more to our taste
  • nursery is free
  • more flexibility to cancel

However

  • nursery hours are more limited and no entirely sure if it's offered on every ship esp post covid and out of school holidays

RCCL

  • more options of ships with splash pools
  • nurseries most of the day
  • classes and big play area for toddlers with parents present
  • a bit more buzzy
  • more dining options

Cons

  • charging 1500-3000 to chose the cabin which is insane. So we may end up in an awful cabin as we'd just go for a guaranteed cabib
  • very big and maybe overwhelming.

We aren't really into using the rock climbing, bumper cars etc

We previously went celebrity with her at 9 months and they were wonderful with her but she'd just started crawling and was getting frustrated at sitting all the time and I felt constantly self concious about her making noise.

Any thoughts please
