    Just got back from cruise and didn’t make my placeholder on the boat. Can I still make one?

    Hey Howdy Hey, Kimberly, and welcome to planDisney!

    It sounds like you recently returned from a majestic voyage with Disney Cruise Line. I love the value of booking a placeholder for a future cruise. This onboard exclusive offer allows you to unlock savings on a future sailing (within the next 24 months) when you book an open-ended Placeholder Reservation on the ship. Unfortunately, that $250 deposit must be paid before disembarking.

    While I know that’s a Bibbidi Bobbidi Bummer, I wanted to share how I love to save money cruising with Disney, and that’s by bookmarking the “Special Offers” tab on the Disney Cruise Line website. As I respond to you today, there are quite a few savings opportunities I see online, including:
    - up to 30% off select sailings
    - US Military Rates
    - savings on select 2025 European sailings
    - 50% off 3rd & 4th guests on select sailings
    Of course, all these offers are subject to availability, but I love checking in on the Special Offers page periodically to see what savings await me! I also recommend signing up for email updates to stay informed about new offers as they become available. 

    If you’re ready to hop on Bullseye and giddy-up to your next adventure, consider looking ahead to a sailing on Disney’s newest ship that will debut later this year, the Disney Destiny. You’ll be able to sail with some of your favorite Disney, Pixar, and Marvel heroes and villains while indulging in some uniquely themed lounges and restaurants. (And I can’t wait to watch the new Hercules show onboard!)

    I appreciate you stopping by planDisney, Kimberly. Even though I may not have provided the answer you wished for, I hope you’ll visit us again if you think of any other way we can make your Disney Cruise dreams come true!

    Embrace the magic,
    Sami
