Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is one of the largest cruise lines out there. It's got 30 different ships sailing out of the US alone.

Typically speaking, Royal Caribbean tends to be more affordable than a Disney cruise, but still more expensive than, say, a Carnival cruise.

Royal Caribbean does a lot of things right, but they don't have the Disney branding and charm backing them up.

Safe to say, Royal Caribbean gets a good old DFB seal of approval.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Reserve your dinner time preference in the app to avoid long waits.
Book cabanas and excursions well before your cruise sets sail, as they tend to sell out fast.
