Maybe at non-peak times pricing is more similar, but not for us. The pricing difference for spring break (week prior to Easter) has been significant for us. For 2016, 4 persons in OV cabinson Navigator for a 8 day was $2500, 1st day booking for 4 in OV on Wonder for 5 days for same time was $3500, Fantasy 7 day was over $6K. For Easter 2017, 6 day on the Freedom is $2200 vs. thousands more on DCL. If pricing was similar, we would opt for DCL. I also agree with PP's view. There are some cruiselines that I am just too hestitant to book and risk a whole week. With RCCL, it is a known product to us. We know the weakness (IMHO) and plan around them (bring games, pay for a few speciality restaurants). We will decide how 2016 on the NAv is to determine whether we keep the 2017 Freedom or switch to WDW instead.
