Why You Should Book Your Disney Cruise Well In Advance
You’ve been thinking about a Disney Cruise for your family but have been putting off booking it for awhile. When you finally decide to book the cruise for this summer, you’re shocked to find out the reservations are all booked up!
Sadly this has happened to many people before. Let’s explore 3 reasons why you should book your Disney Cruise well in advance!
#1 Working around the Cruise Line Schedule
Unlike Disney World where you can go whenever you want, Disney Cruise Ships have a very specific schedule they must stick to. This means you will need to align your vacation with the ships departing dates and not vice versa.
There are many different factors that go into selecting your specific vacation dates such as port, duration of cruise, and sailing destination. If you want a specific ship such as the new Disney Wish, you’ll need to review that ships schedule and pick a desired trip.
#2 Getting the Stateroom You Want
Are you prone to seasickness? You’ll want to stay on a lower deck in the middle of the ship. Do you want a window to see out of? You’ll need to choose an Oceanview or Verandah type stateroom. Is it important you stay together in a family suite? These are all questions to consider when booking your specific stateroom. By booking well in advance, you will have more stateroom options to choose from to ensure you have the perfect fit for your family.
#3 Time to Save Up for the Trip
Depending on the type of room you book, Disney Cruise vacations must be paid in full around 90 - 150 days in advance instead of the typical 30 day window for Walt Disney World vacations. You’ll also be required to pay a 20% deposit when booking - generally.
Due to the different payment schedule, booking well in advance will give you freedom to secure your stateroom while also having time to save up for the final payment.
