Rope Drop Radio!
I had the great privilege and honor to be invited on the latest episode of Rope Drop Radio (Our Favorite Disney Podcast) with Derek and Doug to discuss all things Disney Cruise Line.
Disney Cruise Line
Disney Cruise Line Navigator
One of the Disney Cruise Line services that we really like is the DCL Navigator App (available for iOS and Android devices). The app doesn’t have a lot of functionality when you first install it while at home, although it will provide you a countdown timer that is visible when you open it as well as placeholders for ship information such as deck plans and activities. You will definitely want to download the app before you get on the ship. I don’t know if there is free public wifi at the Port Canaveral terminal, so get it at home before you leave to be safe.

Disney Cruise Line Cabin Upgrades
Disney Cruise Line, like all cruise lines, doesn’t always sail with a full ship. There are usually cabins available of every type before the ship leaves the dock. They are always willing to fill those cabins in exchange for more money. Here is how you can attempt to upgrade your cabin type.
Saving With Disney Cruise On Board Bookings
Once you are onboard and enjoying a Disney cruise, you might want to find a way to get right back on board. Disney has an onboard bookings desk right there on the ship. If you book onboard, they will offer you a few discounts. The first is an onboard credit to be used next time you sail ($100 for cruises less than 7 days, $200 for cruises 7 days or longer). The second incentive is a reduced deposit for cruises 7 days or longer (requiring only a 10% deposit instead of the usual 20%). The last discount is a 10% reduction in price for *MOST* cruises. Disney has started to black out that 10% discount on a lot of the popular cruises (for example, Spring Break, Christmas Break, and special itineraries).
Disney Cruise Line Staterooms
If you’re thinking about a vacation on Disney Cruise Line, one of the first decisions you’ll be faced with (after you decide on an itinerary) is what kind of room to book. There are four main types of staterooms on Disney Cruise Line: Inside, Ocean View, Verandah, and Concierge. We have described each below, with pictures where we have them available.
