If you thought Disneyland was your happy place, wait till you see it at sea.
Disney Cruise Line opened bookings for its early 2017 trips Thursday... and while we've always wanted to take a Disney Cruise, this tantalizing lineup is enough to make us book, like, right now.
Disney's four ships will start the 2017 year making trips from ports in Miami, Port Canaveral, Puerto Rico and Galveston, Texas. Of course, they'll head to the Bahamas -- where Disney has its private island, Castaway Cay -- and other adventurous stops like Jamaica, St. Lucia and Cozumel, Mexico. Fares for three-night cruises will start at $513 per person, USA Today reports, which is similar in cost to some of the best cruise deals we saw this summer.
Perusing the 2017 Disney Cruise Lineup, we found a few highlights:
- 3-night cruise from Miami to the Bahamas: starting at $554 per person
- 6-night cruise from Galveston, Texas to Cozumel, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Puerto Rico: starting at $963 per person
- 7-night cruise from Puerto Rico to Barbados, Grenada, Martinique, Antigua and St. Kitts: starting at $1367 per person
It's recommended to book your cruise as early as possible, Disney spokesperson Charles Stovall told HuffPost. (Indeed, this can sometimes score you deals.) Experts at the Disney forum MouseSavers say you should book through a travel agent who specializes in Disney cruises to score onboard spending credits and get advice on navigating fare tradeoffs.
Oh, and once aboard, always take the slide:
Happy sailing!
