Planning The Best Disney Cruise Vacation Packages

By Janet Wright


When people think of a vacation they can take the family on, a cruise is generally one of the things that comes to mind. If you specifically pick a Disney one, you can expect lots of fun for kids with character interactions and special shows that are only available on the ship. Parents can entrust the kids to staff and go off on their own to enjoy some much-needed alone time. Book Disney cruise vacation packages today for all this and much more.

There are several packages for you to choose from. If you live within driving distance of the port and would rather drive than fly, you may choose one that includes a car rental. If you live too far to drive, then a deal with airfare and an overnight stay at a local hotel the night before the cruise are also available.

When you do need to stay overnight the day before the cruise starts, you can choose from many different types of hotels. Some are basic, with bare amenities and no frills. This allows you to save money. However, if you really want to go all out, you can instead choose a fancy hotel with all the amenities and creature comforts so it feels like you are being pampered before you even start your vacation officially.

If you live in the United States, then you can leave out of multiple ports, depending on which countries you wish to travel to. For example, a popular one is leaving out of Galveston, Texas. This means you can go to the western Caribbean and perhaps Mexico on your trip. If you were to leave out of Florida instead, you may be able to visit the eastern Caribbean and even Disney's private island where no other ships are allowed to go.

A few itineraries also leave out of Europe and let you explore this historical continent by ship. You have to fly into a place such as Copenhagen to get started, and fly out of there to get home. Many of these overseas starts include a big welcome party the night before to say thanks for choosing this trip.

When you cruise with Disney, you can expect delicious gourmet food at several different establishments, which is included in your cost. Most nonalcoholic beverages like water, juice, coffee and tea are also included. However, if you want an alcoholic beverage, you will have to purchase that separately by the drink or sometimes by the bottle.

There are other services that are not included, including spa ones. If you want a massage, facial or manicure, you can get one for an additional fee. You could also ask your travel agent to include an onboard credit to use towards these expenses when you book.

You also have to pay for port taxes and gratuities, which you can prepay in advance when you pay for the trip. This means your only additional charges are for spa services, alcohol, and any onboard souvenirs you may buy.

Your dream of the ultimate family vacation are within reach when you book with Disney. You will make memories that everyone will remember for years to come, with fondness.
