We LOVE Disney cruises and are eagerly anticipating the one we have one planned for April 2020. However, the winter doldrums travel bug bit this week, and we are slightly considering trying to squeeze in another short cruise this spring/summer. We don't really want to pay Disney prices for this one, since we already have one on the books for next year, and although we know there will be some magic touches missing anywhere else, we are open to other lines. We have two kids, ages 12 and 9. They love cruising and enjoy the games and activities on Disney ships (not so much the big events like the deck parties, character events, etc..., but more like the smaller activities like arts and crafts, midship detective, movies, etc... on the sea days on DCL.) They love the pools and slides and the stage shows on DCL as well. We definitely want to avoid a cruise with a "party" feel to it... we are all a little more laid back and like quiet and relaxation. They also love Castaway Cay, so finding another line that has a port or private island with a somewhat similar feel would be ideal. (I do understand that there is nowhere else quite like CC. If you were choosing a second choice line for this type of family, what would it be? Also, what itineraries do you like for families with kids this age? Thanks so much!
