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 it for your habits
โœ“For families, note that Royal Caribbean has fewer connecting rooms and rooms for five compared to Disney

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Drink packages are expensive and everyone in the room must have the same package โ€” Calculate your potential consumption to see if it's worth it; consider alternatives like free drinks in the casino.
Royal Caribbean has a different vibe and may feel less 'magical' than Disney โ€” Embrace the variety of spaces and activities; it's more about different experiences rather than less magic.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Royal Caribbean is becoming an increasingly competitive offering to Disney Cruise Line. Often with more to do onboard and at Coco Cay for both adults and families, it begs the question: should your family consider a Royal Caribbean Cruise? For those who enjoy DCL's concierge offering, the comparison gets even harder with RCCL offering lots of included amenities in its Sky and Star classes. Karen and Kayley from our show sponsor My Path Unwinding Travel help break down the offerings in this head-to-head match-up. See who comes out on top!
