[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]April is Spring break next year. It's not this year. We booked 7 nights on the Fantasy next January for $5k - with verandah. We decided pulling the kids from school (K and 3rd next year) was the only way Disney would ever be in our budget.[/quote]

It's cheaper to go in January than April because the weather is iffier. I was just reading reviews and blogs by people who said they had kind of crappy time at Castaway Cay because the temp was in the low 60s and it wasn't really warm enough to swim. That's kind of the whole point of the place. The whole idea of a cruise to the Bahamas in winter or spring is very dependent on warm weather.

Anyway to the PP, yes Disney cruises are expensive. I was just looking at a 7 night cruise to Alaska in July - $15k for 5 people in a room with a verandah and that is the basic price before excursions, flights, and the hotel you probably need to stay in before and after. All in, it would probably be close to $20k for one week. We might end up doing it because #YOLO and #youcan'ttakeitwithyou but I'm not going to kid myself that it is not very expensive.[/quote]

A 7 night Alaskan cruise will be expensive on any cruise line. You're paying more for the verandah. And you have five people. That's roughly $400pp per day and includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, room service (free on disney), nonalcoholic drinks (free on disney), lodging, and a broadway style show every night (plus any other free on board activities--movies, kids activities, child care, animation lessons, etc.).

Going anywhere with 5 people for a week is expensive. At least everything is included on a disney cruise. [/quote]
