Disney Cruise Line Onboard Credit: What It Is and How You Get It When You Book With Travel Grown
Our gift to you.
One of the perks of booking your Disney Cruise Line vacation with Travel Grown is onboard credit. This is extra spending money that is applied directly to your shipboard account and can be used throughout your cruise.
There is no catch. Our planning services are completely free to you, and this onboard credit is our way of saying thank you for booking with us.
What is Onboard Credit?
Basically, it’s free money!
Onboard credit, sometimes called shipboard credit, is credit that lives on your onboard account during your cruise. It works like cash that you can use to pay for eligible purchases made through Disney Cruise Line while you are sailing.
The credit is applied to your stateroom account before your cruise, and any eligible charges you make onboard will be deducted from that balance.
What can I spend it on?
Your onboard credit can be used for most things that can be charged to your stateroom, including:
Disney Cruise Line shore excursions
Palo and other adult-only dining experiences
Spa treatments onboard or at Castaway Cay
Wine packages and specialty drinks
Internet packages
Gift shop and souvenir purchases
Photos and photo packages
Gratuities and onboard activities
Onboard credit cannot be used for purchases made independently in port or for non-Disney-arranged excursions.
What if I already booked a cruise?
If you recently booked, your cruise may be eligible for transfer. If transferred to Travel Grown, you will receive a smaller amount of onboard credit.
How Much Onboard Credit Will I Receive?
The amount of onboard credit you receive depends on two things:
The total cost of your cruise
How the cruise was booked
If your Disney Cruise is booked directly through Travel Grown, you will receive the full onboard credit amount for your cruise cost.
If you booked your cruise yourself and then transferred it to Travel Grown, or if you booked it onboard a ship as a placeholder, the onboard credit amount is typically about half of what you would receive if we had booked it for you from the start.
