I get comped a cruise almost every year, mostly Royal Caribbean. While the R.C. ships have been pretty good there is no comparison to a Disney cruise. I've paid for one cruise in my life and that was a Disney. They do all the small things right and you never feel like just a number to them. Friendly staff, decent food, zero wait at bars, larger staterooms, random paintings come to life, cleanliness are just a touch of things they do better than most. When you pull into port and the ship sounds the horn it's the Disney clique "when I wish upon a star". Pretty sure they do it just to say "We are MF'ing Disney and we're better than you"
