Hi all!
My family and I (myself, DH, DD 11 & DS 9) have sailed DCL 6 times and we LOVE IT. We wanted to do a Canadian cruise out of NY this fall but its over $6000 for the 4 of us for a 5 day cruise.
RC has a Kids Sail Free promotion going on so we could do a 7 night out of NJ on the Anthem in a Balcony for less than half of what we’d pay on the Magic.
I’m VERY nervous about switching. I hated cruising before I found Disney (had sailed Princess before) and I love the kids activities and the service level. I know if you pay less, you’ll get less... but could someone give me a general comparison?
For instance - would it be like going from Grand Floridian to a Moderate like Port Orleans - or more like a value resort?
Or is it like doing Disney vs going to Hershey Park, or more like a Six Flags?
I noticed that the Anthem has a lot more people and a lot less crew than Disney so that also makes me nervous.
If we decide to try it, how much should I expect to spend on extras? We would do a soda package and probably a dining package, but what else besides that?
Thanks in advance!
