HOW MUCH DOES A DISNEY CRUISE COST
When looking at prices for a Disney cruise, there are several different factors you need to consider. The main determinate of the overall price of a Disney cruise will be the cruise ship cabin category. Interior rooms will be the least expensive, whereas concierge level and suites will be the most expensive.
Disney Cruise Line consists of only 5 ships. However, it is generally true that newer ships are more expensive. Further, the region in which the ships are sailing and the time of year will impact the total costs of your trip. How much a Disney cruise costs will definitely vary depending on the destination. Sought after locales, like Alaska or Hawaii, will be more expensive than the Bahamas or Caribbean. Certain times of year like the summer and school vacations are also considerably more expensive.
Once onboard the ship, the Disney cruise fare includes most food, non-alcoholic beverages, entertainment, and onboard activities. However, the price of a Disney cruise doesn't include everything. Additional costs include specialty dining, shopping, and alcoholic beverages. Further, Disney Cruise Line does NOT offer drink packages like most other cruise lines.
Of course, Disney cruise ships also have spas and salons that cost extra as well as makeovers at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the little ones. Not to mention, there are other upcharges like shore excursions and cruise gratuities.
When determining the total Disney cruise cost, you will need to also allocate funds for transportation to and from the cruise port. Flights and hotel stays will also increase the costs of the overall trip.
Therefore, for a week long cruise, for a family of 4, we suggest budgeting $10,000 for a Disney Cruise. Yes, it can be done cheaper, but if you want to experience a little of everything, this is a pretty reasonable estimate.

Been on 10 Disney cruises… it’s not for everyone, but we love them…. To each his own.
We do too in spite of the mediocre food.
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova we think the foods pretty good, I can’t compare it to other cruise lines but I’ve never had a bad meal on Disney…. Now compared to the parks…. It’s fantastic.
@@uspsdaveable Have you been lately? Disneys taken a lot of money out of the food. Ships Kitchen/galley is now mostly pre-cooked heat and serve college dorm fare. Its really changed.
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova we were on the Fantasy just last year… was fine…. Plan doing another one next year or the fallowing
@@uspsdaveable Report back you’ll be shocked.
Very informative video. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Just booked Carnival on the west coast for 2024 (5 nights). The cruise is for my wife, my 2 older children (over 21), and myself. My wife and I have a balcony room, My 2 older children have a separate interior room right across the hallway. The 5 days for all of us, including taxes, port charges, and gratuities is $1912.88. Booking thru Costco the rate is the exactly the same as Carnival. However we get 2% back as a Costco member, 2% back as a Costco visa card holder, and 2 $25.00 Costco gift cards. This brings the final total to $1912.88 - $126.00 Cost Value = $1787.00. Divided by 4 people = $446.72. Divided by 4 people/5 nights = $89.33 per night per person.
This
Why my mom in dad always say stay with carnival. They book right through them . My cusin switched to them from Disney.
While we're not independently wealthy😂 we do cruise Disney often. It takes planning and budgeting and splurging on a verandah room is well worth it. We'll be sailing the 8 night Bermuda on the Fantasy next week. This will include a Palo brunch which is so good. You always know you're on a Disney property and all of it is worth every penny!!!!😊
Have a great cruise. Very jealous.
I definitely agree-
Single mom
Took my son on the Wonder for his 13 birthday-
Takes planning and it was soooo worth it
We cruise Disney often. The smaller boats are unique, comfortable, friendly, excellent sight lines, all cabins nice, nice bars with good prices. The food is awful. All of it.
The Wish is a cattle boat and not worth the cost.
Disney Panama Canal cruises are priced with all the other lines. The biggest misunderstanding about Disney cruises is it’ll be overwhelmed with kids. It isn’t.
Thanks for sharing!
Agreed. All but one of my Disney cruises I went solo and had zero issues with kids.
Going to Alaska at the end of August on the Wonder and can't wait. No formality, no casino, and it's a small ship.
Very true. Have a great cruise.
They cost 4-5X more due to them by American wages. What you pay for an inside cabinet is damn near a jr suite on RC and probably the biggest room on carnival.
It’s a nicer cabin on Diz and better room service.
Disney crew members are best paid with most family benefits. All travel covered too.
good job!! don't forget to take an extra $250 for a place holder for your next cruise. I did a disney cruise last year thinking "one and done" LOL not sure what the future will be but let's hope disney gets their act together.
Lol. I guess that’s true.
It would have been great to add the "numbers" on the tv to show us the calculation.
Son and I went on the dream to Bahamas 3 days memorial day weekend last year.
Now this year we are going to Mexican Riviera on Carnival 7 days , memorial day weekend also, same price, both balcony stateroom, it just 4 extra days with Carnival
I once gave goofy a high five on our way to evening dinner on DCL. Can't say that about any other cruiseline lol
Carry on 2 bottles of wine or a 6-pack of beer for each adult.
Yes, DCL does allow you to carry those on, which can help defray the bar tab, but not much else!
We booked the wish this Sept (2 adults, 2 very young children - 3yo/ 8mo) deluxe family ocean view, included tipping ( bought insurance though 3rd party) we paid $4081
I didn’t get a room with a balcony bc I wasn’t sure how secure it is for children
Wow, Disney must be the most divisive cruise line 😂 I’ve been on many Carnival and Royal cruises. I’ve had the most fun on Carnival but the Disney cruise I took my 2 year old on was THE most memorable! I have another Disney cruise booked a month from now. It’s expensive but good deals pop up every now and then.
Yes, DCL is expensive, but we did enjoy it. Although, for many, the price is not worth it. Thanks for the comment!
We were looking at the annual pass to Disney and based on your estimate 2.5 days can get us an annual pass for our family of four. That would not include housing or food obviously.
We cruise pretty regularly and during the Covid cruise era we were averaging that $300-400 per person per week for Caribbean with a balcony.
Cruise fares have gone up across the board for all cruise lines. Still, Disney is substantiably more than its competitors.
Love DCL, but I can cruise almost 3 times more on other lines.
We did Alaska on Princess....2 weeks in a suite for half the cost of a single week on the Wonder in a balcony cabin. We loved DCL for many years, but the prices have gone crazy and we've moved on to other lines. Current favorite is Virgin because NO KIDS, great food, etc. But we remember fondly our man DCL adventures.
Am I the only person who noticed the bug making it’s debut @ 3:10 in the video 😳
That is so odd! When I clicked on your time stamp I thought I saw a bug too but then after watching it multiple times I couldn’t see it anymore!!!! Is it that dark spot that is the piece for the pull down bed?
Remy was the best money I have ever spent. I can’t wait to go back one day 😬
Good to hear. We will have to try it.
Icon of the seas is the biggest cruise ever
So how much does it cost pernight
Wow. Never been on a cruise before but this is shocking.
Several cruise lines have more reasonable fares.
Daaaaamn 10k
My Disney Wonder cruise in 2001 cost $250!!!!
Times have changed. Lol.
Disney is the best way to cruise!
If you can afford it!
Dang, I’d rather book the massive celebrity suite for less and never have to see a wookie or whatever that was. 😂
I don't understand the appeal when the other 3 big cruise lines have bigger ships, better itineraries, and are almost half the price. Disney charges way too much of a premium for that 'Disney Experience' which, by most accounts, has gotten less and less special over the last few years.
The appeal is they aren’t obscenely huge, like RC. I don’t need to be rushed through dinner like cattle. RC has what, three dinners? That’s insane. I can’t imagine battling it out for a lounge chair. RC also nickel and dimes you. What are you REALLY saving? Also, Carnival, while cheap, also is seen as the Walmart of the seas, and for good reason. I think the have the most brawl videos on RUclips. People act like drunken idiots and I don’t want to be around those drunks, and I don’t want my family around that either. Factor in Disney’s kids club isn’t centered in a smoke filled, raunchy casino and I’d rather give Disney my money. Disney also doesn’t charge for a soda package, and room service is FREE. None of the other cruise lines offer that.
I tip my stewards in cash. Therefore, I write-in of not giving tips on the last day of my cruise.
I just read it doesn’t have a casino on board
Correct, no DCL ships have casinos.
Before looking at this. I would say 12,000 or 13,000 dollars for a family of 4. That's not a suite. On a Disney C.
True.
This video confirms that I would never be caught dead on a Disney cruise
More room for us then 😅
Good, I’m glad I won’t be see you there then, yayyyyyyyyyyyy
Disney is very expensive. Unfortunately, their exuberant prices will continue to rise as greed is their main attribute. Thankfully, there are other cruise lines that actually want all people to be able to cruise with them.
disney cruise can go piss off
We have sailed Disney and loved it. But I keep coming back to the same question: Why should I pay Disney approximately double for the same itinerary other cruise lines offer? The Characters and free soda don't add up to justify such a premium. Once again, Disney is putting on thier black mask and robbing their guests.
We agree about paying more for Disney is tough given it is not really worth more than the other brands.
Many folks don't consider that Disney doesn't have casinos and thus don't generate that revenue. Their shows are unique to the cruise line, not a touring branch of a broadway show. They can't be seen elsewhere.
IMO, they are experts at ripping off their customers, justifying obscene prices with hype and BS.
Caveat emptor
@@GrumpyGolf4 Well, there are few other lines I would like to go on, mainly because of the casino/smoking factor. Yes, they run at a higher margin. During the pandemic, almost all other lines were scrambling to sell ships, cut costs and obtain financing.
Because their state of the art entertainment? They own the rights to their own movies so they can literally show Broadway shows on their ships, and no one can touch Disney for customer service. No one.
Hell I can go to parks 5 X for for one cruise.
If some dude in a character suit came up to our dinner table on a cruise, I would tell them to go away and not annoy our dinner, not pay 2-5x more for thr cruise....
Grand total = 10 grand. You're welcome.
Way to expensive vers others.
I choose my cruise weeks based on the chances that there will be less kids on board. Disney ?? Designed to attract families with kids ?? NO THANKS. I cannot imagine 🙄
I agree with you! We gave Disney Cruise Line a chance and it was our WORST experience ever. We will never sail them again. Way too many unruly, entitled children running around unsupervised!! The kids club asked us if our 10 year old daughter will be signing herself in and OUT of the club??!! Umm NO, she’s 10!! Explains all the bad little kids running the ship.
No doubt I cruise norwegian
Then go watch videos about Virgin and sail with them…
We cruise with an adult only family group, mostly Disney. We spend nearly all of our time in adult only area and we do late seating in the dining rooms. We seldom come into contact with a child. Sure there are lots onboard but they are mostly doing their own thing down in the kids areas. Saw more kids on a recent RCCL cruise.
We love the Disney cruises in our adult group but they are expensive. Cabins are best we’ve experienced without doing a suite. We always do specialty dining and need best available WiFi. Still, if you aren’t a big drinker you can get by with almost no charges over the cost of the cruise since so much is included. It helps that we live near a port so don’t need to fly or stay in a hotel.
Horribly overpriced! U.S.$300 per person per night x 2 parents and 2 children = U.S.$1,200 per day! That is easily enough for a whole week on many cruise-ships . . . and close to half a month on the best bargains at sea. Sweet dreams and fantastic profits for Disney but a financial nightmare for most households in the world.
Disney is ridiculously expensive I will never spend that on a Disney cruise rccl is the only way
Disney world expensive let alone a cruise. You need atleast 1500$ to think about going to Disney
I went on a 5 night Disney cruise last October that was $2400 for my family of three (included travel insurance). That was with a balcony. I’m going on a 7 night Disney cruise a month from now and it was $3400 (for a balcony) which is still cheaper than the Royal Caribbean cruises I was looking at.
@@bbkangs You are definitely not being honest here, or probably comparing apples to oranges sailings. The prices cannot compare if you look at Disney vs RCL if you're looking at sailing at the same time and with similar category ships and rooms. Disney will always cost way more in this instance. Sure if you choose the oldest disney ship on a random April sailing vs RCL Icon of the Seas or Oasis ships or something during high summer season or holidays, Disney might come out a little cheaper lol. We've tried giving DCL our business, but seems like they're only interested in serving the ultra rich or folks who are such huge Disney fans that they're willing to give their entire family savings to Disney.
@@Jzx1103 I was looking at similar sailings. I’m going on the Disney Fantasy in May & RCL wanted over 4K for a balcony seven nights on one of the oasis class ships. (I’ve been on Oasis of the Seas, not my favorite ship. Too big in my opinion) I think it’s because Disney takes into account the age of the child and charges less. My daughter is 2 years old. But Royal just sees them as another passenger, period. The only cruise line that is always cheaper is Carnival.
@bbkangs then that's a very special circumstance that doesn't apply to over 90% of passengers. Yes Royal counts 2 year olds as any other passenger. But the price difference would be pretty significant again once your kid is over 2. Thus far, I have yet to be able to find a Disney sailing that's not at least 2x the price of RCL for our family of 4 on the same days. Thus we ended up never trying it. Also I'm guessing the Oasis class ship you looked at was Wonder of the Seas, literally their newest and most expensive ship currently due to it being booked up so fast. That's more comparable to the Disney Wish, which currently a 3 nighter in May cost $2k a person
for those who want to go Disney can't have champagne taste but only a beer budget
DCL isn't close to champagne taste, they're just charging you 2-5x for the Disney branded beer.
Diz bars always have $5 call booze margaritas Bloody Mary’s mimosas drink of the day drafts screwdrivers ever day all the time every bar includes tip and no tax.
Too much
They are pricey.
Over priced given the coming Recession-Depression.
Gotta feeling it’s going to be brutal.
Over priced.
$10K for a week lmao, no thanks.
I would never take a Disney cruise. There are far better than Disney.
SOUL ?
