We've done both and prefer Akershus. We tried CRT twice and Akershus four times. We really prefer Akershus and no longer go to CRT. For one, it's cheaper or it uses one less dining credit if you're using the dining plan. We enjoy the food at Akershus much better too. We like dinner at Akershus, so I can't compare the breakfast food. We love dinner here!! We weren't that impressed with the breakfast at CRT. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything memorable. We think the character interaction is the same at both. For some reason, my daughters prefer Akershus. Works for me, because we enjoy the food better there and it's cheaper.
I say if you've tried CRT, then try Akershus. I'm all for trying new places. I like to keep some of my favorites, but it's also fun to try new places. You may find you like Akershus as well or even better.
