Totally worth doing but cost can vary drastically, Just looked for you all in 1 cabin 8-12 Feb $3,387 cat 4 with Verandah. the week after (15-19)it goes up to $5,067
A cheaper way would be 2x inside cat 11's total $2,826 8-12th. First thing you need to di is goto Disneycruiseline.com and mess with your dates and cabins see if its within your budget. If you think it is then ask for advise. We have done 2x 4 nights and 2 x7 nights another 7 night booked for next year, love DCL more than the parks.

Think it may have been me who suggested it..Sorry...You WILL get addicted!
Come on over to the Cruise threads, you'll see lots of advice & pics there! Feb is a great value time to go, we sailed 22nd Feb last year, inside cabin cost us £600 for the 3 nights(2 adults, 1 child & a toddler!)which when you consider all you get that was good value!

£600 was a great price, Just looked for 3 nights for netty February 12-15, 2009 Cruise Price: $ 2,942.40 cat 4
No they don't, only option on their website is a cat 4 for you, it would have to be 2 inside cabins.

Think we got a great deal, but of course we were only a family of 4, & our Toddler was only 20 months so don't know what his part cost!
We booked a GTY Cat 12 but got upgraded to a Deluxe Cat 10 which was a Fab result! GTY is often a great way of grabbing a bargain(it means you're guaranteed the room type you book but COULD be upgraded..Not always though!.We book through Vacationstogo.com If DCL comes out too much, take a look at Royal Caribbean Lines or Carnival as they are usually much cheaper & still gets you Cruising to The Bahamas! Remember though ,the sooner you book, the better the price usually is! HTH Sally x

If you book it you will really not regret it. We went for the first time last Sept for 4 nights and have booked again for next year for 7 nights It is something that is very special. As has already been said, it may appear costly, but with what is included and the service you get, it is well worth the money. Go for it your husband will love it, your kids will love and and so will you.

We Rebooked onboard at Easter for next August 7 night Western, $3000 (3 adults) and $300 on board credit. Also bagged a secret porthole. It almost cost us that for 4 nights at Easter, amazing the price variations.
We did 4 night RCCL last year and doing it again this August, although we like it for a break from the parks I don't think its anything special for 1st time cruisers, not in the same league as DCL but totally different cruises. we have only paid £200 each for this August in an Outside cabin.
