I have read this thread w/ much interest as I finally convinced my DH to go on his first DC this past January (my kids & I went twice w/ friends in 01 & 04). And he had very high expectations (it's ALL my kids talk about, they reference the DCL at least once a week in relation to something or other). It was a HUGE adjustment to the "cruise way of vacationing" & not for everyone. But after about 2 days he "got into the groove" & said.......(now for my purpose of posting) "A bad day on a cruise, sure beats a good day at work!!!!" and all the people looking at my pictures said he truly seemed to enjoy himself. We pre-booked for 08 & I do believe he will be onboard once again. Try again in a few years, the age of the kids REALLY matters. Mine are 12 & 9.
On a side note, my DS's Boy Scout Troop going in July to WDW & we opted OUT of THAT trip. WDW is not the happiest place on earth, it is the most stressful. Yet THOUSANDS go every year b/c they feel every kid should go there. We did in 01 (Land/Sea) & all my kids wanted to do was go back to the hotel to swim. I felt my parents THE WORST in the world b/c I never went (oh now I see the wisdom in that decision). I went for the first time at age 23 & wondered what all the hype was about & 10 years later MY kids wondered the same thing!!! Yet DCL THE BEST for them. Live & learn.
