[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’ve cruised 7 times: half on Disney, half on Royal Caribbean.

My two cents:

-3 days is too short. Aim for 5-7.

-Cruise out of FL or Puerto Rico. Smoother sailing than if you leave from Baltimore, NJ, etc.

-Newer, bigger ships have more bells and whistles…but they also have more crowds. We prefer smaller ships for better service and less crowds.

-Are you getting 2 cabins? If you plan to squeeze into one, opt for Disney for the larger, split bathroom.

-Ultimately we base our decision on itinerary and cost—not ship.

-We prefer Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries over western (we don’t like Mexican ports, Grand Cayman is a tendered port (hassle), and Jamaica has serious issues.

-We are trying celebrity next. It’s supposedly a step up from Royal. Having said that, we’ve enjoyed every cruise on Royal (and they cost half the price of Disney).

-Carnival caters to party crowds. I’d avoid.

-Norwegian is hit or Miss from what I’ve heard. [/quote]

I agree with all of this.  Except we love GC, and were lucky to never have an issue, super smooth frequent tenders.
We did Carnival before kids, experience highly differed with home port of call.  I don’t want to name the port, but a huge number of passengers were chain smokers, and the nightly entertainer was always cracking gay jokes to huge applause.  Never again.[/quote]
