4 night 5 day cruise

Looking for opinions on 4 night 5 day, Disney cruise.
We have been on 7 night cruises before on carnival, but never on Disney.
My in laws are thinking of doing the 4 night 5 day on DCL. They were on the first DC!
Any how how did you feel about the 5 day cruise, do you feel it was long enough, or did you feel like as soon as the cruise go started it was time to get off?
We are sold on DCL and would like to go, but I do not know if we would be better off going a different time on the 7 day cruise.
The plus side we get along great with our in laws, and our kids are around the same age.
Any opinions on shorter cruises?
Thanks

Re: 4 night 5 day cruise

I did a 4 night Disney cruise back in Dec 1998. It was no where near long enough! I'm going on the 11 night cruise in September and I don't think that will be long enough! There is so much to do on the ship!

Re: 4 night 5 day cruise

My family and I did the land/sea cruise last year! We had 3 days in the parks, and 4 days on the ship! Let me tell you, 4 days was NOT long enough! There is so much to see and do on the ship, you need more time! We are going on a 7 day Disney cruise this July!

Re: 4 night 5 day cruise

I followed this advice and my first cruise was a 7 day. It was wonderful. I would go for the 7 day, but if all I could do was a 4 day I would do it.

Re: 4 night 5 day cruise

I think we will wait it out and go on a seven day. As much as we would like to go with the in laws it just seems too short! It seems like you spend one day getting on and one day getting off anyway.
We have been on the seven day carnival ones and I wish they were longer also.
We can do the seven, they only want to do the five day due to school and sports schedules!
Oh well back t o the drawing board!
Thanks again
