"WHY DISNEY CRUISE LINES - IT'S SO EXPENSIVE!!!!"


I have been asked this question many times. It's more than just the Disney name or the "fanboy" mentality of Disney fanaticism. It's in the quality.

Here are things to know about Disney Cruise Line:
1) Pricing with DCL is more upfront than with other lines. The other folks make up a good chunk of the difference by charging for things (like soft drinks) that Disney includes in the cruise fare. The other folks also usually charge higher prices for drinks and don't allow you to bring your own on board like Disney does.
2) Kids Clubs that the kids really want to spend time in - and that you, as a parent, can be comfortable with them spending time in.
3) Dining is a much better value on DCL. The rotational dining concept means that your servers come with you as you get to sample three different fine dining experiences. On most other lines, dining experiences such as those offered in DCL's main dining rooms carry an additional upcharge. DCL does offer a couple of "super deluxe" restaurant options, which can provide an adults-only experience if you want one for an additional charge.
4) Category-by-category, DCL staterooms are among the largest in industry.
5) Disney design, themes, and characters that are simply unavailable on any other line.
6) Disney films in the onboard theaters, including first-run films that usually premiere onboard at the same time they come out in theaters on land, are included in the cruise fare.
7) Unparalleled service in its class (clients who sailed DCL and then luxury class Celebrity about six months later reported that DCL's service is much better).
8) No casinos on DCL mean that huge amounts of space that are "wasted" on casinos on other ships (partially because the casino income helps make up the revenue from lower fares) are used for state-of-the-art entertainment and amenities.
9) Supply/Demand - DCL created a great product and people love it. They sail full ships. If they weren't top quality, people wouldn't buy it and the price would come down.
