Disney Cruise Line Returns to the Big Apple

If you live near the New York City area, mark your calendars for October 2016.   Disney Cruise Line is doing a set of cruises during that month, departing from the New York port.  This is huge savings if you are able to drive to the area instead of flying to Florida.  Here's hoping the cruises do well and Disney continues to consider New York a departure port!

The Details:

• There will be one Canadian Coastline sailing on October 2, 2016 which is proving to be very popular.  This 5 night cruise on the Disney Magic has stops in St. John and Halifax and is round trip from New York.  Sample pricing for a family of 4 in an Oceanview stateroom begins at $4,022.
• Looking for the Caribbean?  All month long the Disney Magic will be sailing from New York to the Bahamas with stops at Nassau and Castaway Cay.  Along the way a port stop in Port Canaveral gives guests the option to go to Disney World for the day with a 1 day parkhopper ticket and transportation to the park.  Sample pricing for a family of 4  in an Verandah stateroom begins at $7,400.

These staterooms are going fast!  So contact us at Snapshot Getaways for a detailed quote for your family.  

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.
