Ahoy there, John. Welcome to planDisney!
Woohoo, I see you’ve joined the
Castaway Club! After just one sailing with
Disney Cruise Line, Guests automatically receive Silver status. After completing 5 sailings, Guests become Gold members; after 10 sailings, Platinum members and then after 25 sailings, they’ll become Pearl members. There are various benefits with each tier of membership. All Castaway Club members receive welcome back gifts waiting for them in their stateroom on Embarkation Day. While there are other perks, a notable one for returning cruisers is the ability to book various onboard activities, adult dining, and
Port Adventures early. Popular ones, like a cabana on
Castaway Cay or a brunch at sea in one of the adult dining restaurants, tend to sell out quickly; therefore, having an earlier booking window increases your chance of securing these hard-to-get reservations.
For your upcoming September cruise, the benefits you’ll get to enjoy will be based on your current Castaway Club status. By now, as a returning cruiser, you should be able to book online activities, adult dining and exciting excursions at your ports of call. Also, be on the lookout for early access to do your Online Check-In for an earlier
Port Arrival Time if you’d like. My family and I prefer to board the ship as early as possible to take advantage of the pools, enjoy a leisurely table service lunch, and just get our Disney cruise vacation started!
I wish you a magical sailing this September. If you have more questions for us, please feel free to sail by
planDisney again.
Bon voyage,
Kiki
