DH and I have decided to try the DCL. We plan on going probably in late August or September. (Waiting to see what kind of deals come out).
I would also like to spend some time at WDW, as that is my first love. We will probably only have Saturday - Sunday for the trip. (7 or 8 nights.)
Here is my problem.
I want the 3 night cruise. DH wants the 4.
He sais that the 3 night is too short. If he had his druthers we'd skip DW and do the 7 night.
I have been on one cruise (Carnival) and did not like it. I did not feel sick but the rocking of the ship made me very nervous. 2 out of 3 nights we couldn't even walk straight due to the way the ship was lurching.
Food was not good, activities were very limited. This was a cruise that DH "won" for high sales at work and it seemed as though almost everyone else was there free as well. I have been told it was probably a chartered cruise and therfore "no frills."
OK - so that was Carnival. I love Disney, so I'm willing to TRY another cruise. My DS's will be 3 and 6 when we go so I'm looking foward to mom and dad time which we could not have at Disney since the Clubs there are only for ages 4 and up.
So, I'll spend some of my Disney time for this cruise - I'll try.
Another dilemma is that DH thinks a cruise should be a "constant party." Reading the Navigators on Barb's site (thanks) .... I did not get this idea. I'm almost afraid he will get bored in 4 days.
We are not lounging around the pool type people. DH enjoys the lounges and casino. (He almost backed out when I told him there was not casino on board.) We both like shows and stuff.
DH I'm sure pictures a great cruise as one where he is sitting in a on deck lounge sipping an umbrella drink while people dance and a carribean type band plays.
I like shows, activities, good food (and plenty of it.)
Kids are laid back and like almost anything and everything.
We all like being pampered and want only the best of everything. How "nice" everything is can make or break a vacation for us.
So I' guess I'm just thinking a 3 day would be better becuase it would be over in a jiffy ... if we hated it ... it would be over soon.
But every time I say 3 day ... DH hold up 4 fingers.
What do you think?
PS - I love Disney - DH likes Disney, but loved the service there and accomodations / theming.
