Disney should take pricing LESSONS from Carnival.....

[hvyhttr21]

It works both ways...

 

You can't compare apples to oranges...

[firefly333]

You mean if you cruise Carnival you shouldnt expect the same level of service?? Im confused what you mean.

 

I too have heard the level of service on Disney is great. I dont feel that way overall about Carnival. ... so I shouldnt expect it?

[luv2gonow]

What is your point.....Do you want to pay more??????

If you think Disney pricing is out of line, consider this. About half of Disney passengers are not adults. Thus liquor sales will be less than Carnival, and Disney has no Casino so the revenue must come from elsewhere( Cruise Fares).

:eek: NO CASINO!!! Crap...no way I could go on Disney...I usually win my cruise fare in the casino at the poker table. That's it...I stay with Carnival.....

 

j/k...I gotta take my kids on at LEAST ONE Disney Cruise.

I got you! Nice paradigm shift thread!!!! :D

 

There are give n takes for every cruise line. I like your style of thinking better!

If I could get a Disney cruise for the price of a Carnival cruise, I definitely would. That being said, last time I priced a room on Disney for our family, it was almost 6k for a 3 day Bahamas cruise. That's a LOT of other places my girls could go for the price.

 

OP...I saw the other thread and got what you meant. ;)

LOL, great idea!!! :D

Totally understood. I priced a seven day on Disney and it was 10K. We could visit Disney World for 10 days and go on a 7 day cruise on carnival and still not spend that. WAY TOO HIGH.

Exactly...I booked Disney World for 7 days last fall. I was only going to get 5 days of park tickets, but after purchasing 4 days, the price is only about $6/day.

 

They should do that with the cruises. 4 day cruise....$599/pp for an interior...$6/pp for each additional day...lol :):D:):D:p

If you have to take the kids try doing just the 3 day cruise. That is what we did a few years ago and I don't think hubby or I could have done any more than that. EVERYTHING is geared to the kids. Not that I would expect anything else. Even when we went to an area for dancing (yes we took our grandkids) the little ones had control of the dance floor (mine including). Don't get me wrong, i loved watching them and dancing with them but hubby and I did miss the adult stuff like the casino etc.

Same here...We went to disney last year and our 9 day Disneyworld trip to all four parks with dining included and staying at a disney resort...was still cheaper than a 3 day on the disney cruise.

We tried Disney last year....wasn't impressed with their service or food! I booked during the kid’s sail free special….we paid $750 for 2 adults & 1 child for the 3 night cruise in May. Although I believe that every child should experience a Disney cruise (and…I'm thinking about their new ship next year), I don't think they offer anymore than the rest....oh, yes they do...fireworks!!

The perfect summary of why I don't cruise Disney. Thank You!

I love Walt Disney World. I love cruising. Never the two shall mix! :eek:

We did the 3 day Bahamas Disney cruise at the end of last April. Me, my wife, and my grandson. $700 total. :)
