How much do you think you’ve spent on DCL cruise fares overall?

[fredandkell]

For funsies, how much have you spent for DCL cruise fares across all voyages? (Not including things like flights or port excursions or on-board extras.) Laying here this morning, trying to justify a cheaper cruise line for the next vacation and failing miserably.

Just added up all of our DCL cruise fares since we started sailing in 2017 and it is $90,000. A lot of money when you look at it that way! 21 sailings - 17 verandah cabins, 2 oceanview cabins, 2 inside cabins.

117 nights for DH and I over 17 cruises.
26 nights for 2 adult sons over 4 cruises.

I've been on 25 DCL cruises, the majority with my kids and a lot of times with them in their own inside cabin. We do mostly ocean view rooms and 7 or more days. Just made me realize that the Pearl gift is pretty lame given the amount of money I've spent (and the repeat of the gifts!)

35 cruises, 1/3rd with 2 adults 3 kids, 176 nights total, $160k.

10 cruises, average is $11K per cruise... it adds up quick!

Hey, you’ve come in at under $1k/night which is always my goal! A bargain!

Thanks! Helps to have those cruises back in the early 2000's when rates were a little lower. My stand out one was in 2005 when I did a 7-night cruise for 5 on the Magic in the Roy suite for $12,000. I think that's what 1 night costs for 2 now.

I refuse to answer this on account of it will only cause me pain (17 DCL sailings since 2020)

That being said I mostly sail with just one of other person so my goal is always to try to stay under $350 per person per night when sailing DCL- when adding a third person in the room do not want to pay more than $275 per person per night. We sail off-season. I don’t mind staying in interior room on the dream class and classic ships, but need at least an ocean view with the set up on the wish class. Am I willing to pay more? Yes but the goal is to stay under that amount And most of the time I don’t have a problem with that.

$83,000 spent on 13 cruises for a family of four. $164.68 per person per day. Ready for another $9,000 for two more in 2025 and 2026 with only family of three. Don’t know why they all couldn’t be like our first cruise...10 nights for $999 per person in the Mediterranean.

I really don't know, but with 30 cruises (31 is next week so already paid for), I'd estimate 76-100 if not over that.

 

[DisneyDTL]

Too much, 16 Disney cruises so far, got 4 booked for this year & just paid deposit on transatlantic for May 2026, so must be over $100K plus about another $50K in respect of on board account

 

[Pinkjgray]

Literally sick to the stomach calculating how much money I’ve spent overall. It was worth it. YOLO!

 

[bcwife76]

11 cruises, including 3 to Alaska and one northern European, 4 people each time so I'd say that puts us firmly in the $75k-$100k bracket (US dollars, more in Canadian ). Looking to book #12 for later in 2026, just dh and I this time
