    How do I use DVC points for cruises?

    Ahoy, Donald!

    Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney!  How exciting that you are thinking of sailing the high seas on a Disney Cruise Line voyage using your Disney Vacation Club points. One of the things I love about our Disney Vacation Club Membership is the flexibility. In fact, Donald, I am about to board a Disney Cruise myself that I booked using my Disney Vacation Club Membership! 

    Donald, it's as easy as Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo to book your Disney Cruise Line cruise using your Disney Vacation Club points. First, I recommend visiting the Disney Vacation Club website and going to the "Destinations" tab.  Click on "Disney Cruise Line" and then click the blue button that says "View All Points Charts."  From here, you can click on a sailing that interests you and check out the Vacation Points cost per person for the type of sailing and stateroom that interests you. Once you are ready, Donald, call Member Services who can convert your Vacation Points into Reservation Points and make the Disney Cruise Line reservation for you.

    Keep in mind, Donald, that if you don't have enough Vacation Points to cover the entire cost of the cruise, you can use Banked or Borrowed Vacation Points. But, you can also do a combination of cash and Reservation Points.  The one thing to note is that at least one person must be paid in full by Reservation Points. You just can't split one individual's cost with Reservation Points and cash.  We just did this for our trip and used Reservation Points to pay for one member of our party and paid cash for the rest.  

    I hope this helps you, Donald. If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, sail back here to see us and we'll be happy to lend you some fin!

    Bon Voyage,
