One: completely free travel

Freelancer, English level? If you like to travel freely, you can arrange all your own trips.

Since 1998, the route of the Disney cruise ship from 2 days to 15 days is complicated and the choices are dazzling. Disney Disney Dream

Fantasy, Disney magic, Disney miracle. Among them, Dreamliner is the largest, newest and most luxurious ship.

The most exciting thing is that Disney develops new destinations every year. The European airline opened on 20 15, combined with Frozen and other new characters and movies, is simply a fairy tale kingdom, which makes people reluctant to go.

2. How and where to book tickets?

Cruise booking website

Official website of Disney Cruises (cheapest)/

Chinese booking website Huanshi Cruises (an agency website, the route and time are not the most comprehensive, and the price may be slightly more expensive than official website, but the advantage is that there is no language barrier)////Disneycruises_info.html

British cruise booking website: /Cruise

Generally speaking, official website is the cheapest. You can choose from the top of the home page according to the actual situation, and then start booking:

Tips:

A mother with good English can make an appointment in official website by herself. The whole process is clear and simple, and the information is complete. Troubled mothers can try semi-self-help. First look at the room number, room type, room photos, whether it is a connecting room (poor sound insulation effect), and the floor function that official website can reserve.

Then go to www.cruisecompete.com (this website has a powerful search function and can define the search conditions in detail. Usually define a time range, choose the starting point and destination, and you can choose a cruise company to search, which is very efficient. ) Check those cruise agents and get all the procedures and expenses related to the trip at one price.

As for which agent to choose: you can see it on the boat.

The amount of credit depends on whether the agent can get the room you want. There are rooms in official website, and not all agents can book the rooms you want.

Combine various conditions:

Cost-effectiveness is the most important-you can choose the most satisfactory agent.

Agency price comparison website

3. When is the cheapest time to book a ticket?

1) As domestic tourists are involved in the reservation and validity of American visas, as well as the cancellation and refund policies of cruise companies, it is generally recommended to advance 3-6 months.

2) Generally, the earlier you book, the better: 1. The price may be the cheapest. There are many rooms to choose from.

Especially some outer cabins. 3) Selection of departure time: the east coast of the United States is located on the west coast of the ocean, and July-165438+ 10 is the typhoon season every year. If time permits, it is best to avoid the typhoon season.

There are no typhoons in California, Alaska and other places, and air tickets in spring and late autumn are very cheap and cost-effective.

Tips:

According to several mothers who have booked tickets in China, winter vacation will be cheaper, while Christmas (American New Year) and summer vacation are relatively expensive.

. Everyone can make reasonable arrangements in combination with their children's winter and summer vacations. In addition, booking a trip on the ship will also have unexpected gains.

Disney will open all flights in the next 65438+August. You can book on the next flight, enjoy the discount of 10% of the total price, and the in-flight coupon of 200 yuan (more than 7 days).

Credit) OBC for short, the deposit only needs to pay 10% of the price ~ (on some days, airlines don't enjoy this discount, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving)

Preferential strategy:

Official website orders it by itself or through an agent, and the price is the same, because it is controlled by official website. The agent can't sell below the price in official website, but only at the same price, but may give back a small amount of possible onboard products to the users.

Credit.

These are all "squeezed out" from official website's commission to the agents. In fact, the route is not fixed every year. When the time comes, the sailing route and sailing time for the next year will naturally be announced, which is uncertain, sometimes for a whole year, sometimes only for a few months.

The cheapest price is the opening day price. After a certain number of rooms are sold, the price will automatically go up a step, but not everyone can book the opening price. Members with higher membership level can book one day in advance, and then the price official website sees is the price on the day of inquiry. Official website hasn't announced the price yet.

Except the price of the last order, the closer to the sailing time, the higher the price, because all the cheap rooms are sold out. 75 days before sailing, all the guests who should pay the money paid. If there is a room, the last one will appear.

Minute price, so people who don't need to travel in hot time can wait and see the lastminute, although there is no way to choose the time.

However, Bian Xiao believes that families departing from China involve issues such as holidays and visas. In general, it is better to book early.

4. Before boarding the boat

1)

Cruise App: It is recommended that you download the cruise APP in advance before boarding the ship (iphone and android versions only, other systems do not support it! After boarding the ship, you can use the app by connecting the internal wifi. But this Wifi can't get online, so I can only watch this app.

The mobile app includes: map, the theme of the restaurant every day, menu (including children), the content and time of the program every day, weather, sunrise and sunset time, and a platform where friends who come with you can chat and contact for free, and you can remind them of favorite projects 15 minutes before the project starts.

These dinners are served by the three restaurants in the picture in turn, and the dishes and restaurant decorations will change according to different themes. The color matching details of each recipe are different. Download the APP at the same time, and you can surf the Internet.

The deadline for registration is three days before boarding.

Although the display needs to be printed and carried with you, it doesn't matter. When you check in at the port, the counter will print it out for you. Don't worry.

2) Cruise brochure: Disney Cruise Club will generally distribute brochures to every visitor two months in advance. If you have been on a Disney cruise, the second brochure will say "drifting club"

Silver, more than 5 times gold, 10 times platinum.

This booklet has written down what clothes and things you need to bring. It is very detailed. Please prepare according to the above! !

Attention, children:

1) There are basically no China crew on Disney's boat, so it is necessary to know some basic English. Now it seems that learning languages starts with dolls (the menu is only in English, French and Japanese, the daily activities are arranged in English, and the performances and movies on board are in English). It is best for domestic children to have their own playmates and several families to form teams together.

2) It is best to know some Disney movies and characters in advance, such as the popular Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story and so on.

Because many performances on cruise ships are these popular series of movies, the songs on board are also various famous theme songs. If you don't know enough about watching plays, there won't be enough surprises. You'd better know their names when taking photos with people. If you don't know, you can ask the staff (crew)

Members and crew)

Step 5 travel on shore

There are very rich land trips on the cruise ship. Please note that only English tour guides are available. Among them, perhaps the most praised is Disney's exclusive island "Castaway".

Cay (Caribbean routes only).

The island is not very big and there are many people, but Disney is well planned. It takes about ten minutes to walk from the cruise ship to the snorkeling area of the family beach. There are many people, remember to get off the boat early.

There will be better seats. There is also an adult-only area, which is about five minutes' drive. The sea there is blue and beautiful, so it is quiet because there are few people.

In addition, each different route has a different shore journey. However, after watching "Bian Xiao", I couldn't restrain my inner excitement and deeply felt that every route was a classic!

A trip to the Norwegian fjord:

The newly opened route stops in Norwegian fjords, Iceland and Scotland. By choosing this trip, you will have the opportunity to watch and experience the inspiration and background of the Disney animated film Frozen.

The magnificent scenery of mountains and snow, glaciers and fountains will take you into the world of Princess Elsa in the movie. Here, the mysterious Scandinavian culture will show the vitality of Snow Country through local historical buildings and fairy tale villages!

A trip to northern Europe:

Will arrive in many famous countries and cities and make a short stay, including Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm, Sweden, Helsinki, Finland and Petersburg, the cultural capital of Russia.

Mediterranean trip:

You will have the opportunity to visit some famous ports, such as Naples.

A trip to Alaska:

Take you deep into the breathtaking last frontier of the United States and learn about the local culture and its wild magnificence.

A trip to the South Caribbean:

You will stay in tropical islands such as St. Martin's Island, St. Thomas's Island, and Disney's exclusive paradise island, Drifting Island, so that you can appreciate the tropical customs of the Caribbean.

A trip to the western Caribbean:

Take you to sunny Mexico, Cayman Islands and Disney's exclusive island-Wandering Island.

A trip to the Bahamas:

We will sail to the Bahamas from the ports of Canaveral, Florida and Miami to enjoy the blue sea, sparkling beaches and plenty of sunshine all year round.

Panama Canal Shuttle Tour:

Please enjoy this engineering miracle when the door of Disney Miracle Cruise is opened.

A transatlantic trip:

Take you through the golden age of just visiting and reliving sea travel.

6. Visa issues

If the visa is incorrect, some ports can't disembark, but some visas can't disembark at all. Please make preparations in advance. In most countries, the official requirements for the entry of cruise ships are the same as those for land.

Caribbean countries need American visas.

China passport Bahamian route 20 14 is visa-free, so only American visa is needed. (It seems that I will get a ten-year American visa! )

The Alaska route requires a Canadian visa to board the ship from Vancouver.

In addition, there are many European routes that can be consulted by cruise ships or agency companies, most of which are countries signed by Schengen, but some countries such as Britain are not among them. Every time I talk about visas, I feel it is convenient to join a group.

Second, the package reservation

After reading such a long free travel guide, if you are already confused, there is another way to book with the group once and for all. Disney Cruises is not well-known in China. Compared with some niche travel agencies or platforms, peanut rolls are still the largest Ctrip, which is more reliable.

Ctrip has an all-inclusive package of air tickets, accommodation and cruise ships without air tickets. But it should be noted that Ctrip has only one route to choose from. If you want to visit other routes, you need to make a reservation through the agency website or official website.

Ctrip can only provide a trip of nearly 2 months. If you want to book your trip for the next few months in advance because of the rush of time, I suggest you refer to the free travel booking strategy above.

All-inclusive package, except visa, all air tickets are included, including Orlando accommodation (but you need to take care of yourself on the shore trip). You only need to apply for a visa in advance, and the per capita package is about1.7w.

Although it is a package tour, it is different from the traditional package tour. There is no unified tour guide, but there will be pick-up service at the destination, which is much more auxiliary service than free travel.

The package that does not include air tickets only includes cruise fees. You need to buy a plane ticket and apply for a visa according to the boarding date. Each route involves different visas. Remember to read them carefully and apply in advance. But after all, it was booked through Ctrip, and the more detailed answer can still be consulted with Ctrip.

Master this strategy and start your romantic trip on Disney cruise!
