New Perks for Onboard Offer

Already on a Disney cruise or have one coming up? This is for you!

To understand this offer you need to know that Disney Cruise Guests have the ability to make future cruise reservations, while on their current cruise. This is called an “Onboard Offer placeholder reservation” and gives guests a 10% discount on most future sailings.

Starting with December 2025 sailings, in addition to saving 10% on most sailings, a list of qualifying 20% and 25% discounted sailings will be available.

Guests will soon be able to apply their placeholder reservation to save 10% on select Concierge staterooms on select sailings (Categories 02B and lower). This is the first time this discount is available for Concierge!

As with all good things, there are always terms and conditions, and a list of eligible sailings. Contact me for more information.
