    If a Disney ship docks in a port near me, is there a possibility that I can take a look on board? Either if I check in or sign up somewhere? I did not book a cruise

    Hi, Wendy!

    I can completely understand wanting to check out a Disney Cruise Line ship. Even when I am on a Disney cruise, parked next to another Disney ship, I want to pop over to take a peek! However, only registered guests may board the ship. 

    Even if you cannot board the ship, it is fun to see a Disney Cruise Line vessel in person. Notice the details such as the characters on the back of each ship. Each ship will have its own unique character on the stern...Goofy is on the Disney Magic, whereas Sorcerer Mickey is on the stern of the Disney Dream. My favorite is the Disney Wish with Rapunzel. The detail put into her long locks of hair is truly amazing. 

    In my opinion the BEST option is to book a Disney Cruise! Check out the Special Offers for the best deals. Usually, the most economical rooms will be an interior room. You will find you do not spend a lot of time in your room, so an interior room is a great option. I also like to use my Chase Disney Visa where you earn reward dollars to use at Disney Cruise Line or at Disney Parks. 

    Wendy, I hope you get to visit a Disney Cruise Line ship whether to enjoy the exterior or have the opportunity to book a cruise. In the meantime, browse the Disney Cruise Line website to see all there is to enjoy during a magical sailing. I hope to see you real soon!
