Pirates In the Caribbean is a highlight of most DCL vacations When planning a cruise, many people are shocked by the price of a Disney Cruise Line vacation. They want to know why Disney costs so much more. There are a couple of reasons. The first is that there are some things included with Disney that you’ll pay extra for on other cruises, such as room service and soda. The main reason, though, is because Disney doesn’t have casinos on their ships. Gambling is a major moneymaker for some other cruise lines. Remember, you get what you pay for, and the service on a Disney Cruise is top of the line. Don’t forget about the characters and the entertainment! The two Disney cruises I’ve been on have ben the two best vacations that I’ve had in years. To me, it’s worth the cost.
