Disey Vacation Club

How can I find the point system for the Disney Cruise Line? I would like to rent points from a DVC owner.

I'm going to move this over to the DVC Rent/Trade board. You can find plenty of DISers there who are interested in renting their points to others.

Renting points to take a cruise is not really a way to save money on the cruise. Usually, it is normally recommended on the boards here that even owners not use their points for cruising, but rent them out and use the proceeds to pay for their cruise. Of course, some people do use their points directly for cruising.

I think there are no more 2011 cruises (at least on one ship) that can be booked on points at this time - they have already allocated and sold all the rooms that could be booked on points.

You will usually be able to make Cruise reservations more easily and for much less right thru DCL than renting thru a DVC Member. In addition, DCL will have a more generous cancellation policy. In addition, there are many DCL cruises not even available thru DVC.

I'd be sure to know exactly what a cash reservation would cost for the cruise you are interested in before inquiring about renting from a DVC member. Once you have researched the cash pricing, you can just post your request on any of the "Points for Rent" threads on the Rent/Trade Board.

Basically you will need to find a member willing to rent their points in the $5 per point range to be competitive with a cash reservation.

Good luck!
