Just wanted to thank you two for doing the legwork on this. There are some posters on this thread (NOT the OP, but a few follow ups) that just seem to want to trash
DCL, and can't seem to grasp the concept of differing opinions.
OP ASKED FOR OPINIONS....I don't think he or she wanted only pro-Disney input.
So now, maybe with some cold hard facts, they'll chill a little bit.
Those cold, hard facts weren't neccesarily accurate. See the post or two after yours...and the one I posted about Christmas rates.
There are expensive times to cruise DCL, and there are some less expensive times to do so.
Yet again, I find myself wondering why it is people feel so compelled to argue about how an individual chooses to spend his or her own money. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, folks.
I don't think anyone is arguing....just stating opinions. Different opinons.
(And to those who really truly despise DCL as much as you say you do? Maybe Cruise Critic or other general cruising boards might be a better fit for you. This is a Disney based board, and as such, tends to be a tad overpopulated with Disney-philes. So yes, you're going to meet some resistance to the bad mouthing. It's one thing to say "we did it once, didn't see the value, and won't be going back", and the continual negativity, and the claims that people who DO enjoy it are "brainwashed".)
Again....Op ASKED for different opinions.
