I've only done 2 cruises and both were Disney. Both we were adults only. We don't have kids, and for the second cruise, my in-laws joined us (just my husband's parents). They loved it as much as we did, and my MIL and I are currently scheming for our next cruise that they can join us on.
For me, what appears to set Disney apart is the entertainment. When I look at other cruise line websites, about the entertainment on those ships (shows), they don't fit my style as much as the Disney entertainment does. I also really like the fact that I don't have to plan dining and make show reservations on Disney. Our upcoming cruise (just my husband and me) was specifically chosen as our vacation because we knew it'd be a year where, because of work chaos, I would not be able to dedicate a substantial amount of time to planning. Obviously, there's some planning, but not nearly as much as other vacations we were considering before I realized what a wild school year it'd be (I'm a school SLP). There are MANY adult friendly and adult only activities on the Disney ships. My husband and I had a blast at mixology in the spring, and loved the piano bar on the Magic. And Serenity Bay makes even us non-beach people have an enjoyable beach day. I think my suggestion would be to find Navigators from past sailings of itineraries you are considering, and look at the entertainment options for the ships you are considering. See if the offerings look interesting to you. Our 2 Disney cruises have been THE best vacations my husband and I have taken.
