Disney Cruise: Would you prefer longer or shorter itineraries?

I'm not sure if I could stand having spotty Internet for very long.

I dont know, as we go all the way from the UK we make our trips quite major, spending 3 weeks usually. So I would probably say if we enjoy our cruise (our forst one later this year) we might do 2 weeks park trip and then 1 week on the cruise. I would never ever ever go all that way though and not do any parks that would kill me... though think DCL is coming back to europe next year so you never know, maybe we will give that a go

Disney cruises are so expensive and we usually only go for 5 nights on land. I would like to see some more 3-5 night cruises to different ports. I did notice that in 2013 there will be a 4 night European cruise! I would love to take that one. I don't think we'll have the funds for the airfare though, so I hope that it sticks around.

I'd love to hear your impressions if you decide to do the European Disney cruise! Of course, maybe you could pop over to Disneyland Paris if you need a park fix

Right...I'd love to do a European cruise, but it's so darn easy to catch them out of our FL ports that it's hard to justify the airfare. I'd like to do Alaska and Hawaii too, but same problem.

I *think* it goes from Barcelona - or at least it did last time. So DLP is actually closer to us when we're at home than where we would need to get the ship from. I do think they're mad though, if they did it from the UK, they would sell out straight away. Its the flying to Barcelona that adds on to the price and bumps it up.

If they went from the UK, you'd spend 4 days out of a 7 day cruise just getting to the med' and back.

Sounds like cruises to Hawaii. I think they're usually 15 day itineraries because of the time it takes to get there and back. I'd love to do it, though, because I love the days at sea. Well, I think I would. I don't know if the seas are normally rough...but then, we had rough seas coming back from the Bahamas, so I guess that's a risk you take.

For a Naval vessel it's 3 days from LA to Hawaii, I would assume that cruises would be similar. Also to do a Hawaii run from the States, ships have to stop at another foreign port, usually one in the Mexican Riviera. That's an entire week just in getting back and forth! Not that I would complain if I were on it.

I would love a longer one. The idea of having more sea days, really appeals to me.
Perhaps from Florida or anywhere in the U.S to Europe would be great. Hoping to be able to go on the Panama Canal one at some point.
