Disney Cruise Line
Deal Window: Select limited-time discounts during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday period; dates vary by sailing.
Disney Cruise Line isn’t known for splashy Black Friday sales, but this year they quietly slipped a few worthwhile offers into the mix. Instead of an across-the-fleet discount, Disney is featuring select last-minute sailings discounted by up to about 35%, mostly on guarantee staterooms. That means you choose the cabin type (inside, oceanview, or verandah), and Disney assigns the exact room closer to sailing.
These deals tend to pop up for specific dates rather than a long promotional window, and availability can disappear quickly. Still, for families dreaming of a Disney-at-sea adventure—or anyone wanting to experience the newer ships without paying peak prices—these surprise markdowns can be a pleasant opportunity.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to book that winter or early-spring sailing, now might be the moment to check Disney’s “Special Offers” page and see if one of the discounted guarantee fares lines up with your travel dates.
Tips for Booking Black Friday or Cyber Monday Cruise Deals
You really need to read the fine print. Sometimes some of these deals are offered throughout the year, depending on how badly the ships need to fill their beds. If there’s a deal that’s particularly attractive to you AND it’s the right time of year for your schedule, you may want to book it during the sale.
Remember…Suites and Inside staterooms tend to book the soonest. Then from the lowest priced in each category and on up.
Compare total value, not just fare: onboard credit, WiFi, gratuities and beverage perks can change the overall cost.
Check cabin category restrictions — some deals exclude suites or specialty accommodations.
Look at travel windows — not all discounted fares apply year-round.
Act early — popular itineraries and ships can sell out quickly during Black Friday week.
- Carefully read deposit and cancellation terms. These vary by each cruise line and may limit any changes that you need might need to make.
- Be sure to buy your travel insurance (if using a 3rd party insurer) within 2-3 weeks of your deposit if you want to get pre-existing coverage, Cancel For Any Reason insurance or any other time-sensitive benefit.
Read deposit and cancellation terms — these vary by line and can affect trip flexibility.
