(<strong>UPDATED &#8211; As on 10\/1\/2019, any placeholders booked on board will no longer receive this on board credit<\/strong>) The second incentive is a reduced deposit for cruises 7 days or longer (requiring only a 10% deposit instead of the usual 20%).&nbsp; The last discount is a 10% reduction in price for *MOST* cruises.&nbsp; 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).&nbsp; Also, the discounts do not apply to concierge bookings.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know which cruise you want to take, you can book a placeholder cruise.&nbsp; A placeholder cruise is a &#8220;hold&#8221; to use your onboard booking discounts for a future cruise.&nbsp; For a $250 deposit, you get a placeholder reservation that can be turned into a real cruise reservation once you figure out which one you want to book.&nbsp; Once you are ready to book, you will receive all the advantages of an onboard booking.&nbsp;&nbsp; You have two years from the day you requested the placeholder to sail and take advantage of the discounts.&nbsp; If you cancel the placeholder cruise, you will get your money returned to you.&nbsp; All of the rules for the placeholder were posted on a recent cruise we took in April 2019:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9468\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9468\" style=\"width: 628px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9468\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/index.php\/disney-cruise-placeholder\/bjco0459\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459-e1560122754460.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2480,3342\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"BJCO0459\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459-e1560122754460-760x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-9468 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459-e1560122754460-760x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Onboard Offer - Placeholder\" width=\"628\" height=\"846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459-e1560122754460-760x1024.jpg 760w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459-e1560122754460-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/backtothemouse.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/BJCO0459-e1560122754460-768x1035.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9468\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Onboard Offer &#8211;
