Why are Disney cruises so expensive? In this video, I take a closer look at Disney Cruise Line and the real reasons a Disney cruise can cost thousands more than Royal Caribbean. I compare a 7-night Disney Treasure cruise from Port Canaveral with Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas, then look at what you're actually getting for that enormous price difference. I also compare Disney Wish vs. Utopia of the Seas and explore where Disney really has an advantage — and where Royal Caribbean may actually offer more. From Disney's highly immersive kids' clubs and hidden details to its Imagineering-inspired ships, Broadway-style entertainment and private islands, I look at how Disney turns its intellectual property into a vacation experience that's very different from a traditional cruise. But this isn't simply a Disney vs. Royal Caribbean comparison. I also look at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, the family cruise market, Disney's lack of casinos, onboard revenue and the business model behind the Disney Cruise Line premium. After looking behind the curtain, I came to a pretty interesting conclusion: Disney isn't necessarily charging more because it's a better cruise. It's charging more because it's selling a different one. If you're researching a Disney cruise, Disney Treasure, Disney Wish, Disney Cruise Line from Port Canaveral, Caribbean cruises, or a Disney Cruise Line vs. Royal Caribbean comparison, I hope this gives you a better idea of what you're actually paying for.
