Royal Caribbean vs. Disney Cruise?

Question

I have been on a royal caribbean cruise before but is there anything that makes a disney cruise alot better than a royal caribbean one? and on a disney cruise are there tons of wild kids everywhere? Is there alot to do for teens?

Answer 1

We've been on a Disney cruise with our 3 children and are going again in Sept. and we are hooked! The staff on the Disney cruises really go above and beyond the call of duty to make the trip special for everyone. They pay attention to each member of the family, call them by their 1st names, and really dote on the little ones when they dress up in princess costumes. I also found the ships to be absolutely spotless, with hand sanitizer stations everywhere you looked! As for wild children, I never saw any children even running around or anything. Our kids LOVED going to Oceaneer's Club and Oceaneer's Lab and our little one went to Flounder's Reef Nursery. There are tons of scheduled activities from early morning all the way past midnight and as for teens, I don't have any teenagers yet but on the cruise I did see quite a few teens and they all looked like they were having a blast. They have their own teen club, their own teen beach on Disney's private island, and other specific things for them. We really had the best vacation and can't wait to go in 2 months again!

Answer 2

if you are going on a cruise def pack one of these. floridaflasks.com it helps you smuggle alcohol on the cruise! you save alot of money!!! drinks are very expensive on the cruise!!

Answer 3

I think you picked the best 2 cruises for kids of all ages and can't steer wrong with either one but I am definately  partial toward the mouse ears.They simply have NO EQUAL for their evening shows and for day spent at Castaway Cay.Disney offers way fewer cruise options than RCC and is a little more salty on the wallet but these are the best options to look at unless you're lookin for a blue-light special (Carnival) .

Disney is amazing! they have great kids and teen activities. They have a place for babies, a place for 3-7 years old, a place for 8-9 year olds, a place for 10-14 year olds, and a place for 13-17 years old. Theres always a ton of kids, but they are kept busy by the activities. For teens theres the Shack or Aloft. A hangout type of place with tvs, guitar hero, video games and more. Its really fun.(I'm 14) Theres also a teen beach at Castaway Cay. The counselors are cool and not mean and stuff,. and they pretty much are like friends(: My favortive part was meeting a ton of people for all over the world ! :D

Answer 5

Disney is probably one of the best cruises for adults and kids. There is a lot to do on board for all.  Last time we sailed with Disney there were over 600 kids on board and we never knew it because the kids are kept busy.  Teens included.

Answer 6

I've been on Disney Magic. Disney does an excellent job keeping kids of all ages entertained and they have the highest ratio of Ship Counselors to kids.  The various sections of certain decks are reserved for certain age groups to make sure everyone is kept busy and entertained.  There are also the pools, shows, movies, and shore excursions that will be available as well.

The Disney cabins are almost like mini-suites with 2 bathroom compartments (1 has a sink and shower, the other has a sink and toilet) which makes getting ready early in the morning a breeze.

Answer 7

Disney Cruise is a fantastic choice for a family vacation with kids/teens.  The last time I was there, I didn't see any wild kids running around, they were quite behaved.  There are a lot to do on the cruise and some fun activities, of course.  I saw a lot of teens having fun on their own, while their parents can find their own things to do.

The themes of the restaurants are quite interesting, I must say, and the service crew are all very pleasant.
