Do you dream of embarking on a magical Disney Cruise Line adventure without breaking the bank? The good news is that with a few tips and careful planning, experiencing the magic of a Disney cruise without breaking the bank is well within your reach.

1- Book as early as possible when reservations open

For cruises, the principle is simple: as the number of cabins booked increases, the availability decreases and prices rise. So when Disney Cruise Line opens up its cruises to bookings, the prices are often the lowest. The cheapest cabins are usually the first to be booked. Reservations are often possible about a year and a half in advance. Anticipate to have more choice and potentially a better rate!

2- Watch for cruise promotions (or ask an advisor to do so)

When there are still too many cabins available as the departure date approaches, Disney Cruise Line often offers attractive promotions, such as special offers for Canadian citizens. These promotions sometimes involve less popular dates or destinations, but which offer just as much magic. New offers appear regularly. Don’t hesitate to ask your consultant to keep an eye out for promotions on future cruises.

3- Be flexible on cruise dates to benefit from the best fares (August-October, January-February).

Being flexible about your travel dates can enable you to access cheaper fares. The cheapest periods are from mid-August to mid-October, during hurricane season, or in January and February, when temperatures are cooler. By combining these periods with a promotion, you could enjoy a luxury cruise experience at a very reasonable, if not affordable, price.

4- Choose a 5-night cruise rather than a 7-night cruise

Are you considering a 7-night cruise? These offers can be expensive, especially for large families. The 5- or 6-night cruises offer enough time to take full advantage of the restaurants and services on board. If you want to extend your stay, you can add a night or two at a beach hotel or at the Walt Disney World Resort for departures from Port Canaveral.

5- Depart from Fort Lauderdale rather than Port Canaveral

Departures from Fort Lauderdale are often less expensive than those from Port Canaveral. Although the latest ships are not based here, several advantages make this an attractive departure point. The airport is about ten minutes from the Port Everglades cruise terminal. What’s more, you can extend your stay to enjoy the beaches or explore the Miami Beach or Keys area.

6- Carefully select your cabin type

The choice of cabin can greatly influence the cost of your cruise, without necessarily compromising your comfort. Inside cabins are the most economical options. Although they don’t offer ocean views, they remain comfortable and well appointed, ideal for those who plan to spend little time in their cabin. Cabins with obstructed views represent a good compromise; they are often located where the view is partially blocked by elements of the boat such as lifeboats. This makes it possible to have a cabin with a view for a lower price than a cabin with an unobstructed view. Finally, some cabins may have special configurations, such as sloping walls, which offer more space than standard cabins but can be offered at reduced rates due to their atypical design. By studying the ship’s plans and asking specific questions when booking, you’ll be able to find the best option for your preferences and budget.
