WWYD - Norway on another line or Alaska on Disney?

[shosh1530]

I'm trying plan a cruise for summer 2026 and am torn between a Norwegian Fjords cruise (RCL or Celebrity) or taking the Disney Magic to Alaska.

For context, it is me and DH (both in 50s) and our 14 year old DS (who likes gaming, sports). We've only sailed on Disney (Alaska on the Wonder, Caribbean on Fantasy and Treasure).

We loved our Alaska cruise and have been wanting to do a Norway cruise since then or even another Alaska trip. Options I'm considering (all 7 nights):

• Disney Dream (late July - Rotterdam, Maloy, Alesund, Bergen) - This is very pricey so likely not possible. The itinerary also doesn't seem the greatest (no deep fjords?). We could only do an inside cabin if this goes on sale by at least 25-30% (not sure how likely this is since there are only a few 2026 Norway sailings?) Bonus: never been on the Dream
• RCL Liberty of the Seas (mid-July - Bruges, Haugesund, Olden, Stavanger) - Did a temporary reservation on a balcony room for $5800 (much cheaper than the Dream) but haven't read the best things about Royal. DS would love the activities but worried we'd be disappointed in the level of service and food. Thoughts?
• Celebrity Apex (late June - Bruges, Nordfjordeid, Geiranger, Bergen) - Apex seems to have better itineraries than RCL and I think DH and I would love the ship. But I'm worried DS would be bored. I know they have a teen club and some activities though. Cost is slightly less than RCL.
• Disney Magic (mid-June - Skagway, Icy Strait, Ketchikan) This feels very similar to the cruise we did 3 years ago, although Icy Strait would be new. Biggest draw would be the Magic, which we haven't sailed. My son has been wanting to back to something similar to the Wonder after sailing two of the bigger ships. There is also a 25% off placeholder deal we could use and cost for an ocean view would be a few thousand less than what we paid in 2023 (but balcony still out of our budget). Cost of airfare would be significantly less.

Would love thoughts from anyone who has sailed to these areas or on these other ships.

Thanks!
