[quote=Anonymous]We have done RCI, NCL, and Disney and we like all of them and I don't think any of them are heads and shoulder above the rest.  I can never get why people rave about the food on Disney.  Some of it is good but most of it is pretty meh.  You can take some of the $$ you save not paying to the mouse and put it towards upgraded or specialty dining on the other lines.  (You can also price out NCL Haven, the club level which has its own dining room, which is quite nice but probably more than you want to spend.)

Disney's strengths are the fireworks pirate dance party and some of the shows.  NCL also has some great shows particularly for older teens (lots of live music and often a Broadway traveling show).  NCL and RCI both have better slides, rock walls, etc., than Disney  They all have pretty good teen or tween clubs, and fun things like family trivia, etc.

Those 3-4 day Disney cruises are nice for a long weekend but the ports are really pretty boring.  With the longer cruises, you can get some really great port activities -- snorkeling in Cozumel or Belize is amazing, Mayan temples from Belize are amazing, zip lining in Roatan, Jamaica has cool places where you can jump into swimming holes off ropes etc.  As you kids get older, they will enjoy that stuff a lot.

I don't know about customer service.  I think they all pretty much feel the same unless you are in the club level (which we've done in both Disney and NCL, but have also done regular non-club).  I never end up feeling like it's a big factor.  You can book stuff in advance on the website or app,  the room stewards are always good, and the waiters are generally pretty friendly and accommodating on any line.  I don't generally need a lot of other customer service.  I guess the Disney folks have a little extra sparkle, but it doesn't really impact the experience that much.  [/quote]
