    I want to plan a Disney cruise in advance and I’m not sure if one of my children will want to go. should I add them now or later? Also if I add them now and remove them later will that automatically lower the price of the room for them not being there

    Hey there, Brittany, and welcome to planDisney! 

    I always say the more the merrier when it comes to sailing with Captain Mickey! But you're right; plans can change, especially when children change their minds or schedules shift as the cruise date gets closer. Luckily, Disney Cruise Line has a fairly flexible policy to accommodate those unexpected adjustments.

    I always recommend adding your entire travel party when you book your cruise. As the cruise date approaches, adding another passenger can become challenging if your assembly station is full or the cabin has reached its occupancy limit. To modify your reservation, visit the Disney Cruise Line website. Find your stateroom number and select “Modify Reservation,” then choose “Edit Travel Party.” From there, you can add, remove, or replace a Guest.

    In terms of pricing, removing a Guest from your reservation usually reduces the overall cost of the cruise. However, several factors come into play, such as how close you are to the sail date, whether you have paid in full, and if you're sailing on a restricted fare. I recommend calling and speaking to a reservation specialist who can review these details with you and provide guidance based on your specific situation.

    For some extra peace of mind, think about adding a Vacation Protection Plan from Disney Cruise Line. This plan has your back for those unexpected surprises before and during your vacation so you can relax and enjoy the magic.

    Traveling with family is all about creating unforgettable memories, and a Disney Cruise is the perfect place to do just that!
