paula67pooh Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hi, we have never cruised with RC, only Disney with our teenage daughter. We're looking at Liberty of the Seas in Jan or March 2019, can you tell me if any of you have cruised with Disney before and now RC if you enjoyed it as much? also the main differences? I appreciate any and all feedback. :) OrionJus and BigBonusgring 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monorailmedic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Welcome, Paula! I think the artcile linked below will be very helpful to you. I've sailed DCL a number of times, as has Matt, the admin of this site. I personally sail many cruise lines, as they each have areas in which they shine, with great experiences at the ready. That in mind, DCL just got to be too pricey for us in the recent years - I could cruise with a luxury line for the same cost. Royal Caribbean targets a very similar audience to DCL, in that they're looking especially for families, and adjust their offering so that there is truly something for everything. RCI has, depending on the ship, far more activities for high-energy folks, and often more specialty dining venues for those wanted to branch out from the main dining rooms. Take a look below and do reach out if you have any specific questions. I'd be you'll enjoy Liberty. http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/disney-cruise-line paula67pooh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have cruised for times with Disney. The only ship we haven't sailed on is the Dream. There are obvious differences, but none in my opinion that justify the differences in price. Personally, I like the kids programming better on Disney as it has extended hours; however, my child has never complained or said one is better than the other. You will find obvious differences (e.g., higher prices for specialty dining, no complimentary soda), but again you're paying substantially less. There's also no dedicated movie theater on the larger Royal ships, but they do have Broadway musicals. I have been on the Liberty and highly doubt you will be disappointed. In addition, even with some of the additional costs, you'll probably be saving thousands. paula67pooh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FManke Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thank you so much! yeah pricing on Disney is just too crazy! great product, but we're excited to try something new! Disney prices across the board are high. I believe they just raised their single day admission again to over $100 plus a day. Great product but very pricey.
