The Florida Logistics
Both lines dominate our local ports—Port Canaveral and PortMiami. If you're pairing a cruise with Disney World, Port Canaveral is your best bet (1 hour away). PortMiami offers South Beach flair. But once you step onboard, the worlds diverge completely.

🍽️ Dining & 🛏️ Comfort
Two very different approaches to your daily routine.
🏰 Disney's Approach
- Rotational Dining: Move to a themed restaurant nightly. Your servers move with you, knowing your allergies and favorite drinks instantly.
- Split Bathrooms: A family game-changer. One room for the toilet/sink, another for the shower/tub.
⚓ Royal's Approach
- Endless Variety: Main Dining Room plus massive specialty options (Sushi, Italian, Molecular Gastronomy) for an extra fee.
- Room Range: From budget interior rooms with LED "Virtual Balconies" to the Ultimate Family Suite with a private slide.
The "Disney Premium" vs. The "Royal Add-on"
Disney generally has a higher "all-in" base price (soda, room service included). Royal looks cheaper upfront, but Wi-Fi, soda packages, and specialty dining add up.
