    When are payments due for a Disney Cruise? Such as deposit, payment schedule, final payment? Thank you.

    Hi, Carl!

    It sounds like you are thinking about booking a Disney Cruise. I hope you give it a try as you will find it to be a magical vacation experience for guests of all ages. I am attaching a video of "First Time Cruise Tips" that some of my planDisney pals filmed that I think you will find super helpful. Hopefully you will love sailing with Disney and will be an expert yourself in no time at all!

    Disney Cruise Line makes booking and paying for your cruise super easy with Flexible Payment Options and deposits. A cruise reservation may be held up to 3 days without payment, then after that you will need a 10% deposit to lock in the reservation. Final payment is due 120 days prior to your sailing, and you may make payments during that time if you wish. Payments can easily be made online by logging into your Disney Cruise Line account, then selecting "Male a Payment" under the "Already Booked" tab. 

    Once you are paid in full and your booking window opens, you will be able to book your Port Adventures, make an appointment at Senses Spa, or even choose to make a dinner reservation at Palo for the age 18+ guests in your travel party. When this happens, the countdown is really on to your magical sailing onboard a beautiful Disney Cruise Line ship

    All of these steps can be completed online, but if you prefer you may book by phone. Friendly Cast Members will be happy to answer any questions and reserve your cruise dates for you. 

    During your planning process, the planDisney team is here to help you. Whether you need help selecting a ship or itinerary or just need advice on what type of room to choose, we are happy to answer any and all of your travel questions. We are all huge fans of cruising, and we enjoy sharing our cruise experiences! 

    Best wishes to you, Carl, and I hope to see you onboard real soon!

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
