The Disney Cruise Line recently started sailing from Miami. The cruise line has increasingly become popular among cruisers who want to experience the magic of Disney since it started cruising in 1998. With their fifth ship debuting this summer, the line has several destinations and options.

However, before you plan for any trip, you must know how much it will cost. Many factors will contribute towards your final fare, including drinks and excursions. Here is an overview of how much a Disney Cruise will cost.

What Is The Base Fare?

A considerable percentage of cruise cost will be the base fare. This will cover your entertainment, refreshments, and other activities, including the kids’ program. Disney Cruise quotes its fare prices for two people, including all the fees, port expenses, and taxes for the trip.

Disney’s cheapest cruise is a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas at $629 per person for the lowest fare, and it can go all the way to $5 for luxurious suits.

Here are a few factors that affect the cost of your Disney Cruise:

The Length Of The Cruise

A shorter cruise, around 3 to 4 days, will generally cost less, but you will not always get a cheaper cost per night. For instance, a 3-night cruise to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral is $362 per person per day, while the exact itinerary will cost you for four nights is $279 per day.

The Cabin Type

The inside rooms are often cheaper than all the other rooms. Suites are the most decadent room onboard and will cost you more. Here are the room categories to expect on a Disney Cruise and how much it will cost you for a 7-day cruise:

  • Inside room: $189
  • Oceanview: $217
  • Verandah: $244
  • Concierge: $741

When choosing your room, consider how much time you will spend there. You do not need to splurge in a room if you plan to participate outside in different activities.

The Time Of The Year

The time you take your cruise will affect the cost. Avoid taking cruises during peak seasons like significant school breaks and holidays. The prices tend to be much higher. Book your trip in the less popular months to save money. A 7-day cruise trip in September will cost half of what it will cost in December.

The Ship

Newer ships tend to have a premium pricing than the older ones. For instance, in similar sailing, the new Disney Wish will cost you almost $500 more for a 3-night cruise to the Bahamas than the older Disney Dream.

Your Destination

While Caribbean cruises are a popular choice for many Disney Cruisers, Disney also offers sailings to other destinations like the Mediterranean and Alaska, which are more expensive. The base fare for a 7-night cruise can be 40% and 30 % more for Europe and Alaska, respectively. Getting to those ports may also cost higher for hotels, flights, and transfers.

The Extras

You will also need to budget for additional spending, including:

Beverages

There are bars and lounges on the Disney cruise ships. Specialty coffees and Alcoholic beverages are not included in the fair. Disney Cruise lines offer free sodas with meals. Here are some sample costs of beverages:

  • Beer: $5 per bottle
  • Cocktails: $6 to 10
  • Wine per glass: $6 to 10

Specialty Dining

Disney ships have various specialty dining options such as Palo, an Italian Inspired Restaurant, and Remy, a French-inspired restaurant where the fee ranges between $45 and 125 per meal.

Internet

If you need to use the internet while on the cruise, remember that your cell plan will not work while you are at sea. Disney’s Program Connect @Sea offers a pay-as-you-go plan or packages where you can purchase data ranging from $19 to $98.

The Disney Cruise line offers a great experience to all cruisers of all ages. It prides itself on having the most hard-working crew members to ensure that every cruiser is comfortable.
