Disney Cruise Line-New Placeholder Onboard Booking Offer

Guests sailing with Disney Cruise Line can now take advantage of Disney's Onboard Booking Offer without selecting an actual sailing date. This is called making a "Placeholder" reservation. This new offer will now give you the opportunity to book onboard and getting an actual confirmation number without having to select a ship, sail date or stateroom category. Travel will still need to be completed within 24 months of the date the travel is booked. All benefits and rules of onboard booking will apply.

Be sure to tell the Disney Cruise Line Onboard Sales Manager that you would like the booking to go through your Travel Agent. Giving the agent's name and agency, for example Snapshot Getaways (shameless plug). If you have a sailing planned with Snapshot Getaways and you think you may book onboard, your agent can send you a form ahead of time.

To hold your "place" a deposit amount of $200 per booking is required onboard. Upon booking your actual sailing you will be able to take advantage of the reduced deposit as part of the Onboard Booking offer. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of the Onboard discounts, while still having some time to plan or wait for new itineraries to be released.
