[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve done disney concierge and Norwegian haven.  I don’t think either is what you’re looking for.  There’s no upgrade on the tours (you’re best bet is getting your own tours on port).  NCL haven has really good food at dinner and breakfast but a limited menu that does not change so depending on your family’s food preferences it might be old fast.

Disney concierge doesn’t come with a food upgrade although there is a club that has very nice snacks.  I don’t think the DCL food is all that great — I don’t know why people think it’s so much better.  I’ve had some great stuff there, some bad stuff, and some stuff that was just fine — basically like all cruises.

Yacht posters should post some specific recommendations because every time I look I find it really difficult.  I’d drop 10-20K for a week on it, but I think it would be more?  And you wouldn’t get a kids club with that!

My recommendation is basically build your own luxury.  Pick ant of the mainstream cruise lines, upgrade to the fancier room and upgrade for the enhanced dining options.  Do not pay for the drink package unless you’re a borderline alcoholic.  (Some lines have a wine package that is a good deal if you like wine with dinner, or many allow you to bring on a few bottles and pay a corkage fee.). Do not pay for crap like the cupcake shop or craft projects or spa treatments.  Stay out of the casino and the pool.   Generally avoid the buffet (with some exceptions) and take the time to eat sit down meals instead.  Do not pay for their overpriced shore excursions—book your own for less money and with better tour operators.

I can't rally fathom paying that much money then having to stay away from things or not being able to use the pool![/quote]
