What is included in your Disney Cruise?
Cruise fares, onboard accommodations, meals, entertainment, and activities are all included. There are a number of expenses that are not covered however. Airfare to your port of embarkation and debarkation is usually not covered. As well as, hotel stays before and after your Cruise. Gratuities, taxes, and trip insurance are extra as well. Don?t forget to plan for your shore excursions, alcohol, laundry, telephone calls, beauty and spa services and babysitting. They are all going to cost you more money, so be prepared.
