While our next Disney Cruise is paid in full, including
gratuities for our wait staff and stateroom host/hostess, budgeting for on
board fun is still in the works.
Because we booked this cruise, and paid the deposit,
while sailing on our last cruise, we will walk on the ship with a $200 on board
credit from Disney Cruise Line. Know that
the amount of the on board credit varies depending on the length of your cruise—7
nights or longer $200, less than 7 nights $100.
Here’s our plan for the $200 on board credit:
- Champagne Brunch at Remy $50 per person—total $100. Yes, this glamorous, 2 hour, adult only experience is going to take half of our credit. It will be a memorable way to celebrate our anniversary.
- Pirate’s League First Mate Package $35. The Disney Fantasy is the only ship to feature a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique that also turns into a Pirate’s League on Pirate Night to transform guests into pirates on the high seas. The boy wants to give this a try, so he has a reservation for a 45 minute First Mate Package make-over. I’m hoping to get lots of pictures!
- Adult beverages on Castaway Cay $48 includes tip. A special treat for the husband and I are adult beverages while on the island. The husband prefers a bucket of beers and I order a red frothy drink, all of which get to delivered to our lounge chairs on the sand—which is also an experience.
There you have it, our plan for the $200 on board credit
with $17 to spare. The extra money will
go towards other ship board activities including port adventures, photos, and
on board shopping. Oh, and there’s the
deposit for our next cruise!
Have you picked your next cruise yet?
ReplyDeleteNot exactly. . . The "rules for rebooking" have changed significantly so I have this matrix that features the pros and cons of three different choices and then there is the budget to consider. Your question may just prompt a new post!
