DCL vs. other cruise lines
Let me 1st say that I love WDW.....there is no comparison.
I went on Disney Magic in 2003. It was wonderful but........it was a fortune.
I have been on Carnival, Princess and NCL (7 total cruises).
I have to say that I actually preferred the Caribbean Princess.
---Caribbean Princess is an awesome ship. Service is fantastic. They have a kids program--it is not disney by any means, but it is more than adequate. Food is better on Carnival. While more expensive than other cruises, it is WAY cheaper than DCL>
---Carnival---ships are decorated tacky---entertainment is good, but not to Disney standards. Kids program is GREAT---
WAY CHEAPER THAN DISNEY---last trip we took, the kids actually went for $30 plus $149 port charges. So how can you turn down a price like that---
---NCL I don't recommend.
My advice is to try DCL once, and after that, get the best overall deal and have fun!
