Booking - how far in advance?

°o°-Hannah-°o° · 16 Mar 19, 08:14 AM

I’m wondering how early a Disney cruise can be booked? I thought it was a few years but I can only see next year.
Also, if I want to use dvc points, how many years can I use?
We’ve cruised once before, does this make us eligible for any offers?

So its approx 18 months depending on when you look. So currently its up to september 2020 but they will hopefully release to end of 2020 in May this year. They are one of the slower cruise lines to release itineraries.

Don't about DVC but cruising once makes u a silver castaway member so you get to book new itineraries 1 day before general public but don't think there are many other benefits

Hannah, don't use your points for cruises, it's not a good use of them at all. Rent them out and use cash instead.

Next round of releases is May (will be from Sept through to Dec/Jan of 2020/1)

Don' book with points, it's terrible value.

Sell your points through David's or here and pay cash.

Cheapest is always on the day the cruise is released. eg our Panama Canal price was £3200 on release day, after a few weeks that went up to £4200 and even £4800 after a few months.

Great. Thanks for the advice guys. I’m thinking summer 2021 and hoping they have the Med cruises available for the summer holidays

They came out at the beginning of March for summer 2020, so around this time of year is good.

You can see this year's and next year's summer sailings on the Disney site which might give you an idea. However, don't rely on it because next year looks very different from this year!

We did the Med cruise on the Magic in early September 2017 and it was amazing. Doing the fjords one next year.
