We’re welcoming back Michelle for a cruise comparison showdown: Disney Cruise Line vs. Royal Caribbean. After sailing back-to-back on Royal’s Liberty of the Seas and Disney’s Dream, Michelle is dishing on all the highs, lows, and soft-serve sorrows.


We’re diving into:




  • The cost difference and what you really get for the price




  • Room size vs. layout: suite class on Royal vs. standard Disney staterooms




  • Kids clubs, or lack thereof…




  • Food, drink packages, and the infamous “ice milk”




  • Shows: Beauty and the Beast vs. Saturday Night Fever (kind of)




  • And the ultimate private island face-off: CocoCay vs. Castaway vs. Lookout Cay




Michelle also shares why her husband would never book Royal again—unless she tricks him—and how her family is already planning their next cruise mashup.
