Disney Cruise or Royal Caribbean? Real 2026 numbers

Description

Planning your first family cruise? This is THE question, so here are the real numbers. A 4-night Bahamas cruise for a family of four starts at $1,200 on Royal Caribbean (interior cabin) and $3,900 on Disney Cruise Line. Before you decide, read the fine print: Disney includes sodas, 24-hour room service and rotational dining in three themed restaurants with live shows — once you add those extras on Royal, the real difference is closer to 15-25%. Both lines include free kids clubs from age 3, and baby nurseries cost about the same ($9-10/hour). Our quick guide: kids under 10 who adore the characters = Disney. Tweens, teens and budget-minded families = Royal, with the Category 6 waterpark on Icon of the Seas and Kids Sail Free on select 2026 sailings. Which team are you? Let us know below.
