I'm a huge fan of both of these cruise lines and completely agree with the comparisons made by the OP.

The only thing I would add, in favour of Disney, is that they do a much better job of keeping the adult areas "kid free", with courteous reminders to the children who attempt to hang out in these areas (&/or their parents) - I wish RCI would learn how to do this!!!

After 11 solo cruises, I'm pretty comfy with it overall. Only one really awkward moment comes to mind....

At a trivia event on Radiance of the Seas, for Diamond/Diamond+ members, I showed up alone and the staff member organizing the event suggested I join a group of other ladies sitting together. I walked up to them and found an open chair (there were a few), asked if it was OK to join them, and they said No, that some other friends "may" come and they didn't have the room (there was plenty of room to actually squeeze in one more chair if required). They looked ticked off (and unfriendly in general) so I was not about to argue.

Another table already full of couples was nearby, they saw me standing there looking around for a spot, and quickly said "please join us, we would be glad to make room for you" (reconfirming to me how nice and wonderful the vast majority of cruisers are!).

The event ended up being a lot of fun, and the best part was that my table won 1st prize (a number of the correct answers came from me). It was nice to smile at that other table of ladies as they watched us accept our very nice gifts!
