2026 DVC Member Cruise

[varyth]

Does the member cruise follow DCL's standard cancellation policy/timeline?

Are the prices quoted on the website including or plus tax. I don't see where it says that. Does anyone know the tax percentage?
Can you book using 2 different cards? My credit cards have limits of $10k & $13k, I calculate it will be about $16k. 4 adults in 2 staterooms.

Taxes, port fees and gratuities are all included in the quoted price. Yes, you can split the payment over multiple credit cards.

Single traveler pays double - right?

Yes. All quoted rates are per person. If you do book solo, there might be a slight reduction in port fees since there would only be on person.

Thanks, cruise virgin here.

Thanks, cruise virgin here.

Port fees, taxes, and gratuities would be based on a solo traveler.

I’m definitely interested in this cruise! I know desirable categories will book up fast, but I don’t know if I can get anyone to commit before reservations open next month.

Does anyone have experience with adding passengers or changing names (which I believe requires cancellation and rebooking) specifically on a Member Cruise?

I am thinking of booking as a solo on March 22 to hold a cabin with the hopes of adding a second passenger before the 120 day mark. But, I wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this situation.

Yes, I have done this on a member cruise before. It’s better to book the max number of people first, because even if there’s room in your cabin, there’s a chance that your muster station is full and they won’t let you add later. If you have to cancel a person/people later, it’s $95 for the change, as a cancel/rebook.

I'm trying to ask a question here but I'm bumbling it up.
I need 2 staterooms, preferably adjoining. I read that the balconies divider can be opened to make one big balcony. Is that also true of the navigators verandah? Is it true at all?

Might want to ask this question in the Disney Cruise Line page. Make sure you specify which ship.

fYI, the member cruise website has been updated with category availability. So, as you try to call and wait on hold you can keep your eyes on your top choices.

DCL prices always include all taxes and fees. On top of that, member cruises also always include gratuities. We did the member cruise last year in the Mediterranean and loved it, plan to book this one (hopefully can get through the phone lines easily enough)

Okay, who is going to be calling in this morning? Let's keep a log of who gets through when and gets what (and entertain each other while we're on hold).

We're ready!

In the phone queue!

 

[varyth]

Just got into the queue. Was being told to call back earlier.

 

[CDKG]

I’m on hold!

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

Jealous of ya'll!

 

[MeLaNie9]

Got in right away - actually one minute early actually when DH went on to see what the phone tree is like. And we are getting one of the two rooms we most wanted which we knew was a total long shot but amazing. Same room as the one we had for our 1st DCL trip with me and my boys only 13 years ago! Just DH and I going, like the DVC Med cruise. Our youngest son will be headed to college (but only about 40min away) this summer but moves in before this. We are doing the summer DVC with the kids.

Called in at 10:00:00am. Still on hold at 10:30. Patient pants on!

[update] Got off the queue at around 10:35. Finished booking and paying for our two staterooms at 11:01. Whee!
