    When booking a cruise can a Platinum member get any preference when the bookings are first published?

    Hi, Thomas!

    Welcome back to Disney Cruise Line! Since you are a Platinum Castaway Club member, you are probably super excited to get back onboard for a future cruise. 

    As a Platinum Castaway Club member, you will be able to book a cruise 3 days prior to the general public. Keep an eye out for itineraries for late 2027 and 2028. Once they are announced, you will be one of the first to be able to reserve your cruise (Pearl Castaway Club members are the only group ahead of you as they will be able to book 4 days prior to general public). Currently, bookings are open for sailings through August 2027. 

    I do not have an information on when cruises will be released, but usually they are announced later in the summer. I suggest signing up for email updates and keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for all the latest information. With so many ships and exciting itineraries, you are sure to find the perfect cruise for your travel crew!

    Thomas, you will be booking your cruise real soon. Captains Mickey and Minnie can't wait to have you back on one of their ships so they can say "Welcome Aboard!"

Meet the Panelist: Cathy, Ohio

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the cold of Ohio! My husband and 2 kids share my enthusiasm for travel, so we enjoy our adventures together whether it is sailing with Disney Cruise Line, running (or cheering!) at runDisney events, taking hula lessons at Aulani, or vacationing at the Walt Disney World which is our home away from home. I am proud to be a part of the planDisney team and cannot wait to share my tips and advice for a magical vacation
