THIS IS INSANITY! I just did a cost comparison because I so wanted to take the Magic out of NYC in October.
DCL prices start at $1,774 per person for an oceanview. Carnival's prices start at $379 per person. Same room type, same cruise, same time frame! So if you sailed on Disney you'd be paying more than $1,300 extra per person for a simple
5-night cruise! And we had a great time on Carnival -- their rooms are much bigger than Disney's and we loved the decor. Their ocean view windows are big enough to sit in.
