- 1). Book well in advance. Cruises fill up fast and generally should be booked at least six months in advance. If you want to ensure you are getting the best value, book your cruise closer to a year in advance. Book an inside stateroom, the least expensive. When the inside staterooms start filling up, they will overbook and upgrade those who booked first to an ocean view stateroom.
- 2). Book a cruise during the off season. Everyone wants to cruise during holidays and in the summer when kids are on vacation. You will find cheaper cruises during the fall and winter, excluding the winter holiday season, and early spring. Cruises will also be less crowded during these times.
- 3). Book through a specialized Disney travel agency. Some travel agents are Disney Specialists that have completed a course offered by Disney about all things regarding Disney vacations. Booking through one of these travel agencies will qualify you for on board credit that can be used for things like a la carte meals and the spa. They will also be able to make sure you are getting the best deal possible on your cruise. They can also help you book advance dining and shore excursions. Best of all, the service is completely free to you, although some companies may charge change or cancellation fees.
- 4). Check the Disney Cruise Line special offers page on their website. Disney Cruise Line always has special offers or promotions going on. There is usually a discount available for Florida residents and military families.
