We did a DCL cruise in April! It was a blast. We did it on cash as we were not DVC members then. We just put our down payment on our DVC membership last week and are awaiting the paper work! 
We are a family of 5, so we needed either a family cabin or a suite if we opted for the same room. Instead, we got two connecting cabins, which worked great; the cabin steward had door jams to keep the connecting doors open. They were two of the "secret" porthole cabins. We had more space and two bathrooms. DW and I were in one cabin, and the kids were in the other. DD9 and DS6 both thoroughly enjoyed the kids' clubs, and we literally had to pry them out at the end of the evening. DD11 spent some time there but wanted to go to the shows and hang with us; I think when she gets a little older the teenager area may be a draw. She reviewed the itinerary for her club area and cherry-picked the activities that interested her.
In any case, I just wanted to drop a quick note that we did the Romantic Escape at Sea package on ours. From what I remember, it included a bottle of wine, DCL robes, dinner for two at Palo, pass to Rainforest room at the spa, a more elaborate breakfast in cabin one morning, and a romantic turn down service for the cabin; there may have been other stuff. The in cabin breakfast was enough for our family of five. Something we found out when we booked this package was that it opened our ability to book excursions, Palo, spa, etc. much earlier than first time cruisers not booked in concierge level cabins.
Here a pic of the romantic turn down service. It was actually a bit of a surprise as we had forgotten that aspect of the package.
Here's a picture of the bunk beds in the cabin:
Have a great trip!

We used 1/2 
I think my DD will LOVE the kids clubs. She is an only child an always wants to play with other kids. I figure I'd pick her up on the way off the ship
Just kidding
I can't see giving up the balcony....but it will be hard to afford the 7 night....but I am motivated
