One of my all-time favorite things to do at Disney is to cruise. I was introduced to cruising a few years back and have been obsessed with it. I love to cruise because it is easier for me accessibility-wise.
I also love cruising because I get to rest while enjoying sights, sounds, and smells that are all surrounded by Disney magic. Along with being able to move freely due to flatter ground, ramps, and elevators that get me where I need to be.
I also enjoy getting things for free. Did you know that when you cruise with Disney you get free stuff? Yep free.
Join me and let me tell you just a few of the things you can get free when you cruise with Disney.
5 Things You Can Get Free on a Disney Cruise
Ice Cream
Like most cruise ships Disney offers unlimited free ice cream however they also offer their famous mickey bars for free too. Yes, you can get a free mickey bar delivered to your room or at any of the dining rooms. Simply ask your server or call room service.
I personally love enjoying a Mickey bar while sitting on my verandah watching the waves roll by. To me, it’s the perfect mix of relaxation and Disney magic.
Drinks
First let me say I am not talking about alcoholic drinks or specialty coffees I am talking about everyday drinks like coke, and diet coke. Most cruise ships ask you to purchase a beverage package in order to enjoy any drinks outside of coffee, tea, or water while on board. With Disney, your drinks are included.
There are self-serve stations near the pool and in the buffet-style restaurant that serves coke, diet coke, lemonade, milk, and juice. These are free and included while on board and at Castaway Cay. You can also get these in any dining room while dining. My favorite is to order a diet cherry coke because they put real cherries in it.
Bottled water, can drins and other specialty drinks like lattes, cocktails, and mocktails are of course extra.
Small Gifts
Throughout your time on a Disney Crusie, you will receive small gifts that are free. Things like chocolates each night before bed, and a pirate bandana for pirate night. There are postcards in the desk drawer for you to have.
Along with these gifts you are given a lanyard for your key card at check-in. If you choose to sail again you become a member of the Castaway Club and are given a gift as a returning guest.
Activities
There are so many fun things to do on a Disney cruise and they are free. To name a few there are art classes, trivia, cooking, crafts, water slides, movies, and Broadway shows. When you step onto a Disney cruise ship you are emersed in magical fun the entire time you are there.
Some of my favorite things are cooking classes because you get to sample the food and even get a small glass of wine sometimes. I love the art classes and getting to watch a movie without the high ticket price is fun.
Shipboard Credit
Let me say upfront that shipboard credit is not available to everyone. You can’t go to customer service and request it. However, you can book your cruise through me and get free shipboard credit. This credit can be used on anything from shopping to drinks. The best part is all you have to do is book a cruise.
As a Disney travel agent, I love to give gifts to my clients. I feel it’s a small way to say thank you for your support and your business. AS for what types of gifts I give and how much your credit will be well that depends on if you are a returning client, a client who books a week’s vacation or a few days. Whether you referred friends or family to me. The one thing that is a constant is that if you book with me you are always given a small token of my appreciation and if you book a cruise that token will be free shipboard credit to spend however you want.
