We'll be trying Liberty/RCCL for the first time next year with my (will be) 12, 9 and 3 year old. How did your 9 year old like everything else? The clubs? Food/service? Shows?
We've done the Dream and Wonder. Kids loved our DCL cruises but they're not attached like I thought they'd be to Disney.
Our daughter prefers RC over Disney. Yes, she does think the kids club on DCL are better but the Royal ships offer more for her to do that she enjoys. She's kind of outgrown princess meet and greets and even on RC we basically have to beg her to come meet king julian and/or leo but she agrees and smiles and has fun so I think she's just at that age where it "seems childish". She also loves animator's palate and thinks it's better than RC has to offer but prefers the windjammer to cabanas and really doesnt see a difference between the rest of the MDR options. She has fun on the aqua-duck but things the flowrider and water slides on the RC ships we have been are much, much better. She isn't a fan of the broadway type shows because she doesnt know what they are (Saturday Night Fever, mama mia, etc) but really does enjoy the headliner options and ice skating shows.
Overall, an Oasis Class ship is her #1 choice. She loves that there are so many kids her age, she loves the bigger pool deck and she loves the amount of activities and diversity in things for her to do. What I think she would tell you she loves the most (if she knew how is broke down) is that she can literally take two RC cruises for every one DCL cruise she takes.
