Cheeky 3 night cruise on DCL - worth it?

[BevS97]

We’ve done two three night cruises and enjoyed them both. I would do it again. It’s ideal in the middle of a WDW trip as a relaxing break.


Re the poster currently on board. Let the waiter know you aren’t happy. They rely on their tips and good reviews and should bend over backwards to give you good service.

We done a three night cruise in the Med on the Magic with our Dgds...they were only young and it was just enough.
We all really loved it...the ship ...the food ...the service ...entertainment and places to visit off the ship.
It gave us a really good taste of what a Disney cruise was like... which made us book two transatlantics for the following years.

Hi I was looking at a cruise and stay for next year in september
the options are
3 nights Fri - Mon
4 nights Mon - Fri

I was previously told by a travel agent that they can only add the cruise after a stay, so the only option for us would be a 3 night stay
But you mention a middle of the trip cruise, so we could do the 4 night - how do you get transfers back and forth in the middle?

We would be going Sat (flight) to return flight on a Monday

I didn’t book with a travel agent. We just booked the hotels and cruise that we wanted.

We drove to the cruise ship and parked at the port but you can get a transfer from a WDW hotel.

Transfers are easy as you just select where you want them to. Some TAs seem to restrict to our end of holiday which is a pain and leaves you with an entire last day stuck at the airport. It might be worth seeing if they can do a 3 centre holiday i.e. one hotel then cruise then a second hotel. They may just not advertise it or push it but if you ask they might be able to sort.

If you are doing Disney transfers then you select where they pick you up and where they drop you off in terms of Disney hotels so that's not a problem. If using a private transfer you should have the same freedom. Obviously if you do the car hire route then you are driving so no problems.

Hi, I looked at doing a 3 night Disney cruise and the cost was around £4,000. This was based on 2 adults and 2 children in August in an inside cabin. Is this the going rate?

That price sounds terrible. I’m paying £2150 for 2A1C for 4nt Bahamas next August in cat 8A
