Wow, this thread is depressing.
I see a lot of the points made here, but I think we need to keep in mind that price is not 100% set by experience. Yes Disney has "changed" the experience, some find that better, some find it worse. Price is often set as supply & demand. I can get the exact same experience on a DCL cruise in February or Oct for half the price of the same cruise over Christmas/Spring Break/Summer. Is the cruise during peak time a much better experience? Of course not. Sure Disney could lower prices, but to what end? They are a business, they aren't lowering prices for goodwill, they are in this to make money. They offer an experience at a price. If it is worth it to you, pay it. If they start to lower that price, demand may increase resulting in a more crowded boat. Is that worth it? Everyone will have a different answer. I feel many people here want to have their cake (lower capacity ship) and eat it too (reduced prices). I don't think it works that way.
For those that feel the current experience is not worth the cost, Disney has given many opportunities to cancel and get your money back. For those that booked cruises assuming that capacity limits would remain low, that was a choice made by their assumptions. DCL has never said they will keep capacity low.
Some want empty ships, some want a return to pre-pandemic experience. The only thing that you have control over is your money. There will always be an inherent risk in not knowing 100% what the experience will be, that is true always. I have no idea when I book my cruise a year out of it will get interrupted by a hurricane....we've missed Castaway before because of rough seas.....experience will change sailing to sailing. I still think Disney is worth my money. Others have their own opinions.
If you are that worried that you may not like the experience if the capacities or protocols change, then you have options.
