Creator's Key Takeaways

We still love Disney all right still Die Hard Disney fans but we love to bring you what else is out there

The experience in Star class is extremely unique the inclusions you know we already touched on the service is at a much much higher level

Royal Caribbean's room categories are specific to occupancy and so they if you are searching for a cruise for three they will not show you rooms that are just for two

For the money you're getting a lot more on Royal but I want to hear whether you agree or not

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Check the cruise planner frequently for activity bookings as things appear randomly
โœ“Consider the drink package if you plan to consume many beverages, but calculate if it's worth the cost
โœ“For families, note that Royal Caribbean has fewer connecting rooms and rooms for five compared to Disney

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Karen and Kaley join us on this week's live show to discuss why Royal Caribbean might be a good choice for families who normally sail Disney Cruise Line to consider. There are lots of differences between RCCL and DCL, from their booking processes to onboard activities, staterooms, food and dining, private islands and more. For those who typically sail concierge on Disney Cruise Line, Royal's Sky and Star classes may be of interest for the breadth of included amenities and, at times, lower price points. We're tackling all this, answering listener questions and so much more on this week's bonus show.
