Well the truth is .. I loved it..my DH didn't.

My DH's complaint (he is a NON-DISNEY Lover ) is that the cruise has no other entertainment but Disney entertainment. He said he went to the bar, the adults only clubs and the place was a ghost town. The highlight of his trip was Bingo! He liked the room size, the service, and the food, but insisted that this year we do Carnival.

What I liked - the Disney Shows, the food, the service, CASTAWAY CAY -- I mean my DH walked from the boat to the shopping area in his white socks and they STAYED white! I also liked the parties, fireworks on the boat, and the fact that Mickey came from of the top of the boat to the stage...amazing. I loved the Castoff Party...and to me a Disney lover, I was in paradize at Castaway Cay. My kids absolutely loved it.

This year we are doing a 5 day Carnival for less than the 3-day cruise we took on Disney (and I booked it 2 years in advance and got 2 inside rooms). On Carnival I got 1 balcony room and 1 inside room. (I have 4 kids).

So...if $$ is an issue..do Carnival. If you want to try out Disney...book it 2 years in advance, an inside room (they will most likely give you a free upgrade), and just get your feet warm with a 3-day cruise. Its one of those things ya wanna do at least once.
