We will be 6 adults (3 x Ocean Balconies) on a 2016 7-day Caribbean cruise - prefer Eastern. DH and I love DCL and originally planned the trip for just the two of us on Fantasy. I'm afraid of sticker shock for friends when May 2016 DCL prices are released. So I am looking at RCCL.
- We are in driving distance to PC so Fort Lauderdale adds $800(ish)/couple in flights. (We could drive to Tampa if worth it.)
- We are looking for a quality cruise on a nice ship.
- We are not big partiers, nor do we gamble.
- Would also not do rock climbing, surfing, golf, etc.
- For us the cruise is the destination, so excursions are just a bonus.
- Would like to have a step up from DCL MDR food but satisfied if same quality - no lower.
- I've seen a lot of posts that say RCCL is much less expensive. But the cruises I have compared are within the $800 flight cost. So that leaves DCL on top.
RCCL fans step up! What ships do I need to be looking at? How are you seeing cruises 1/2 price of DCL? Any other advice?
