    Book with DCl, then transfer placeholder?

    No, you cannot. The placeholder is an actual reservation without a sail date. In order to get the 10% discount, the placeholder must be modified. So only Costco can do that for you.

    DCL cruisers tried Royal...

    You do realize you can get soda from any bar on Royal if you have the soda package. You don't need to use the freestyle machines.

    Cruise Cancellation Policy

    No there isn't. If you change the date after your pay in full date (90 or 120 days prior to departure), the cancel penalties will be added to your new cruise date and will remain non-refundable.

    Can I purchase insurance through DCL if I am paying my cruise with gift cards

    Next time combine the smaller cards into $1000 cards on the Disney Gift Card website before paying. Then you have fewer cards to keep and keep track of.

    Prepaid Credit Card for Teen's Overseas Travel

    I opened a SoFi checking account for travel purposes. It comes with a debit card that has 0% foreign transaction fees and ATM withdrawls. It's linked to another account that I can transfer funds over from within a day. I used it in London this summer and used it for everything. I had it loaded...

    Treasure short cruises?

    Not likely at all. Treasure is taking over 7-night sailings from the Fantasy.

    We tried Royal Caribbean….

    Cruise ship bathrooms almost never have regular outlets in the bathroom. Usually only outlets for shavers. I don't believe I have ever had a regular outlet on a Disney ship in the bathroom. Older ships don't have outlets near the bed. You have to sail on a newer ship for this. Many of the newer...

    Sleeping (re)arrangements- 2 rms

    DCL vs. Royal Caribbean

    Not sure about the cost being the same. You may want to double-check that and that you are comparing apples to apples in regards to room type, etc. Disney also charges for Internet and alcoholic beverages. You need to do the math as to whether a drink package is a good value for you. It may or...

    Placeholder deposit question

    If you change it to a 7-night or longer sailing, the deposit is 10% of the cruise fare, minus the $250 you paid. If it's a shorter cruise the deposit is 20% of the cruise fare, minus the $250 you paid.
