Ahoy, Socorro!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
On a Disney Cruise Line vacation, you’ll experience excellent service and VIP treatment from the moment you step onboard. With Broadway-style entertainment, magical kids’ areas, plentiful delicious dining options, and staterooms designed with families in mind, it's awesome how much is included in the price of your cruise.
When choosing your travel dates, keep in mind that Disney offers cruises at significantly reduced rates during the off season. Cruising in the “off season” usually means while most children are in school. Fall and early spring (prior to most school Spring Break dates) are wonderful times to cruise if you're looking to save some money. Also, it’s always best to book as early as you can to get the best rates! Planning ahead goes a long way with it comes to finding the best cruise prices. Remember to check the
“Special Offers” page on the official Disney Cruise Line website – you may find the perfect cruise for your family at a practically perfect price!
Another way you can find the best rates is to use an Authorized Disney Travel Planner to book your Disney Cruise Line vacation. It doesn't cost any more to use a Disney travel agent than it does to book it yourself, and they're usually up-to-date with any discounts and specials that are available. Whenever I book a cruise through our preferred travel agent, she's able to offer incentives like an onboard credit (which comes in handy for any extras like adult beverages or souvenirs!).
I hope this helps with some ideas for how to save money on a future Disney Cruise Line vacation. Hope to see you sailing with Captain Mickey someday soon! - Diane W.
