Thank you all for all the advice. It has been really helpful! Turns out my aunt is thinking about going on a Princess cruise the same week we were looking at going, so I think we are going to try out Princess. :)

My family and I have always taken Disney cruises. But, our standard yearly cruise has gone up by over $4000 :eek: this year.

Obviously, I need to look at a different cruise line because the Disney prices are getting crazy, but never having gone on any of the other lines, I'm not sure what to go for. I would love some advice.

My boys will be 13 & 15 on this next cruise. They mostly just want to hang with kids their own age on the sports deck, so I think most lines will cover that as long as the line attracts families.

My husband and I have demanding jobs, so we just want quiet and to relax. On Disney, we spend a fair amount of time at the spa and in the adults only area. We are not big drinkers/party people, don't have an interest in a casino, and are perfectly happy seeing a movie or a show & then just going to bed, LOL. Boring, I know, but we both own our own businesses so we are used to working a lot. Being able to read a book on a lounger is heavenly all by itself. :D

Is there another line that is more reasonable than Disney is this year, has west coast sailings (just because that would be easier for us, but not mandatory), and still has good service & (hopefully) better food?

I would greatly appreciate any and all helpful advice from you all who have experienced several cruise lines. Thanks so much!
