Disney Cruise Line is implementing key changes to its deposit and payment policies. Starting today, June 18, the required deposit for future voyages is now 10%. For any existing reservations made on or before June 17, the 20% deposit still remains in place.

Balance due
Make your final payment, and remember—you can receive a refund up to 120 days before your sail date for most stateroom categories.
Cancellation Fees
- Cancellation fees will follow the new deposit policy for sailings made on or after June 18, 2025.
- If a reservation is cancelled during the deposit cancellation fee period and the deposit was 10%, the cancellation fees will also be 10% of the voyage fare.
- Cancellation fees for guests who previously paid a 20% deposit will be 20% of the voyage fare.
- Per the existing policy, deposits will remain non-refundable for Concierge Guests.
Modifications
- If a Guest is outside the cancellation fee period and prefers to take advantage of the new 10% deposit policy, they may cancel and rebook their reservation under the updated terms.
- Standard cancellation fees may apply for reservations within the cancellation fee period, as outlined in our terms and conditions.
Onboard Placeholder Offers
- Guests who have booked a Placeholder Reservation will also see a change in the required deposit when they add a sail date to their reservation if the sailing is 7 nights or longer.
- Guests will only be required to pay a 5% deposit. If the reservation is cancelled outside of the deposit cancellation fee period, Guests will only be subjected to a 5% cancellation fee.
- In addition to the deposit percentage change, there will no longer be a three day hold when converting Onboard Placeholder Offers through the Contact Center or when booking online. A deposit will now be due at the time of placeholder conversion, now that placeholders can be converted online.
