Hi there, Gina! Thanks so much for sailing by planDisney with your question. It sounds like you’re planning a spook-tacular
Halloween on the High Seas cruise, and I’m thrilled for you!
These themed sailings are frightfully fun, with everything from trick-or-treating and spooky snacks to the “Mouse-Querade” party with Mickey and friends in costume. Don’t forget to pack your own festive outfits. There’s nothing quite like dressing up at sea under the glow of that magical Halloween tree!
Now, on to your question about adding a 13-year-old to your October cruise! The cost can vary quite a bit depending on a few things: the ship, itinerary length, and stateroom category. In general, Disney Cruise Line prices the first two guests in a stateroom at full adult fare regardless of age, and additional guests (including teens) usually pay a reduced rate (though it’s often still considered an “adult” fare for anyone over age 12).
If your stateroom allows for an additional guest and the ship hasn’t reached maximum capacity, there’s a good chance you can add your teen, even after final payment. Your best bet is to
call Disney Cruise Line directly. They’ll give you the most accurate pricing and help make any adjustments if space is available.
While you’re getting excited, I highly recommend downloading the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. It’ll be your go-to once you’re onboard, full of daily schedules, event times, and helpful details for all the hauntingly delightful activities. And here’s a fun tip: bring some Disney-themed Halloween magnets to decorate your stateroom door. It’s a festive tradition and adds a little extra magic to your cruise!
Gina, I hope this helps you plan a "fang-tastic" vacation filled with memories! If you have any more questions, I’m always happy to help.
Boo to you!
