Thank you for your summary and reports, including adding the WDW part. Really enjoyed reading your thoughts. For the first time, in 2 years, we will be sailing with Royal, though on a 7 night. For the price of the balcony we have, so far,
DCL is almost double the price. Hence, though we also have only tried DCL (and Royal over 25 years ago), my adult kids only know our 3 DCL cruises. So this coming year, we are trying Carnival, which is more than doubly cheaper than DCL. And depending on what prices DCL offers to military, we may try to get another DCL cruise in between those other cruises, as we also are so comfy, guess from only knowing, with their ships. And yay! For having 2 more DCL cruises booked.
