I recently did a comparison for a friend between the Disney Magic and the Carnival Pride - same sail date, same itinerary. It was an off-peak time (end of April, when all the kids were back in school), and the difference in price was astounding: $900+ on the Magic, $600+ on the Pride - that's 50% more! And remember, the adult activities are somewhat curtailed (no casinos in Disney ships); but there's something about the mouse that causes wallets to open! I agree with Sunshine about RCI's children's program. The kids had a ball on our Adventure of the Seas cruise last April (I spoke with several parents, including some who had cruised Disney - tons of fun for tons less money). If you don't mention Mickey, the children won't miss him. Camp Carnival has an excellent reputation. Save your money and take another cruise!
