Disney Cruise Line typically releases sail dates and bookings earlier than Disney World and Disneyland vacation packages. Booking as early as you can has a lot of benefits.
Stateroom Choice
You’ll have some decisions to make with your choice of stateroom on a Disney Cruise. The first choice to make is your stateroom category.
Each Disney Cruise ship has these stateroom categories: Inside, Oceanview, Verandah, and Concierge Staterooms.
The most cost-effective option is the Inside Stateroom. These staterooms are on various decks, and on some ships, feature a magical porthole with realtime view.
If you want to see the ocean as soon as you wake up, you should consider an Oceanview or Verandah Stateroom.
An Oceanview room will give you the view you’re looking for. But if you dream of starting your day with a cup of coffee on your own private balcony at sea, the Verandah Stateroom is for you!
For luxury and personalized service, as well as access to exclusive areas on the ship, Concierge-level is available for various stateroom layouts.
Once you’ve selected the category you’d like to book, you will also have the opportunity to select your specific stateroom, based on availability.

When you book a Disney Cruise early, you will have more stateroom options to choose from, and are more likely to find a stateroom in the price range and ship location that you want.
If you’re traveling with friends or family, you are also more likely to get staterooms close together when you book early, too!

It Costs Less
The cost of a Disney Cruise fluctuates based on availability.
As stateroom categories and sailings begin to fill up, the cost will increase.
The best prices will be available when the sailings are first released. So if you know you want to book a cruise, its best to book as soon as possible.
Unlike vacation packages for Disney World, there is not a set deposit amount for a Disney Cruise.
The deposit amount is a percentage of the total cruise price. So the lower the cost of your cruise fare, the lower the deposit amount will be.
In addition to getting the best price, when you book a Disney Cruise early, you also have more time to pay off your cruise!
Castaway Club

Everyone who sails on a Disney Cruise automatically becomes a Castaway Club Member! The Castaway Club has various levels, with different benefits at each level.
As a thank-you to returning cruisers, Castaway Club Members can take advantage of early booking windows when new itineraries are released.
When new sailings are released, Castaway Club Members have the ability to book their cruise on a staggered schedule.
All levels of membership can book prior to the general public.
