Cruise Payments

[stardust190]

I'm looking to book a cruise for a party of 10 with 2 staterooms. If I book the reservation with my Disney account am I able to link to another Disney account via reservation number so that our friends can make payments for their portion of the cruise? Or to do this do we need to have separate reservation numbers? I know that we can have multiple onboard payment methods. I'm just wondering about paying for the actual cruise.

Each person listed on the stateroom will need to manually link the reservation to their DisneyCruise.com account. To plan across staterooms, you will also want to link the other reservation to your DisneyCruise.com account by entering that reservation number and the birthdate of someone in that stateroom.

Not sure how payments anymore work since it's been a while since we've done a "cash" cruise.

In the past, when we traveled with a large party using 3 separate staterooms, we each had a separate reservation number for each stateroom and then we linked all 3. So each stateroom was paid for by the party in that room. I'm not sure if you can reserve all the rooms under your account and then have different accts pay for it but I would call DCL and ask if its possible to do it that way.

So I booked my mom's cruise for her from my account, but I had to put in her contact info. I wrote down the reservation number (I booked hers like a month after booking mine) and then linked her reservation to mine. She can access her own reservation to pay.

These were two different reservations though, correct? I was going to do one reservation with 2 rooms as one of the kids won't be in a room with their parents and it seemed easiest to have on a single reservation. Were you also able to make payments on your mom's cruise?

AFAIK, each stateroom will be a separate reservation.

Yes, I even added a celebration to her reservation and can do basically everything like it was my own reservation.

Correct. Each room has it's own reservation number.

OP, for the (I assume) minor child in a different room than parents, the adult in that room must sign a permission form for another adult (in a different room) to pick them up at the kid's club, and take them off the ship (even if that "other" adult is the child's parent).

We'll be able to sort out the kids club pick ups. No issues signing anything. Plus the older kids can sign themselves out of the clubs, I believe (all over 10).

When each room gets a reservation does that mean each room has a separate deposit made when you book?

Correct.

And it's not just the kids' club...the child booked in a different room will need authorization for the parents (in a different stateroom) to take the child off the ship in port. Easy enough to do, but just mentioning it so you know it will need to be done.
